Denver Stiffs Trade scenario with Dallas?

We all know that we need a big and that Nene is MUCH better at the PF spot. We also need an additional consistent scorer, so I figure we trade with Dallas.

Haywood, Butler and Matt Carrol

for

Kmart, JR and Allen (and possibly a 2nd rounder)

What do you guys think?
Gives us another scorer in Butler, a PROPER big man in Haywood (could be 10,10,2 kinda guy) and moves Nene to the 4 where seems to be happier and more confident.

STARTING 5
Billups
Afflalo
Melo
Nene
Haywood

BENCH
Butler
Lawson
Andersen
Petro
Balkman
Carter

 

Dallas does this to give them some toughness and attitude (Kmart), JR starts and is happy (thus productive) due to easy looks from J.Kidd, this keeps both Stevenson and Terry as the keys to Dallas' second unit and Allen gives them 6 fouls.
Also cleans up the logjams they have in their roster (SF and C)

STARTING 5
Kidd
Smith
Marion
Kmart
Nowitski

BENCH
Terry
Dampier
Stevenson
Barea
Beaubois
Najera
Thomas

 

Not only would this be a good trade for both teams (IMO), but if they were to meet in the playoffs, would make for a kick arse series (again, IMO)

 

(I think I accidentally posted this as a reply in the "Melo Dollar Question" post, sorry.)

Denver Stiffs Possible trade? (without JR)

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=yjdw5ap 

So the Suns are supposedly shopping Amare and the Raptors are worried about Bosh bolting and heading for a warmer climate....

 

SUNS get Chris Bosh (tor) and Joey Graham (den)

RAPTORS get Nene (den), Balkman (den) and Jared Dudley (pho)

NUGGETS get Amare Stoudamire (pho) and Jaron Collins (pho)

 

Raptors get two guys that can certainly contribute in Nene and Dudley as well as a possible spark off the bench in Balkman.... which is all much better than losing Bosh for nothing.

Suns get Bosh who would probably be more content in Phoenix playing with Nash and a replacement backup to Dudley in Graham.

While this does not give us the BIG man we need, Amare is an upgrade over Nene and maybe K-Mart and Billups couple light a fire under his arse and get him rebounding and blocking shots like we know he can.

This would give us a starting lineup of;

Billups, Afflalo, Melo, Kmart, Amare... Not bad if you ask me... but would there be enough shots to go around?

What do you guys think?

Would certainly create waves if nothing else.
