The Perfect Offseason

LeBron is the best player to maybe ever play the game. He singly handedly made a 10 win Cleveland team title contenders. Miami screwed up in some ways by signing LeBron, Wade and Bosh. I get why they did that, but in some ways they are wasting Wade and/or Bosh. If I were Miami I would send Bosh and Wade to Orlando for Howard. That gives LeBron a legit big that plays amazing defense, and frees up another max deal to bring in 2-3 very good players. Could you imagine a Miami team with this lineup:

Andre Miller
Courtney Lee
LeBron
Jeff Green/Matt Barnes/Josh Howard
Howard

I think that team, with outside shooting and defense from Lee and the SF spot, and a good pg, is unstoppable. Heck, you could even trade out Miller for a better shooting pg.

Anyways, that was just off the top of my head. LeBron is being wasted with Bosh and Wade because they don't compliment him.
 
My perfect offseason:

Trade GS's pick, Jefferson, and Bell to NJ for a S&T with Deron. Sign Courtney Lee to a 4 yr/16 deal.

PG - Deron, Harris, Watson
SG - Lee, Burks, Harris
SF - Hayward, Carroll
PF - Millsap, Favors, Evans
C - Favors, Kanter

That team has it all. Our interior defense is fantastic. Hayward, Lee and Deron are make our back court very defensive as well. Offensively, we have one of the best P&R pg's to run plays with Favors and Kanter. We have three point shooting with Hayward, Lee, and Deron.

Our bench is one of the best in the league with Harris, Burks, Carroll, Kanter.

I believe that team can contend.
 
Or we could go after Grant Hill, Tracy McGrady, Jerry Stackhouse to pair with Nash and Pau and have an all 1990's NBA team.
 
I know this is more of a compilation of a lot of ideas going around here lately, but I thought this trade (or least something based on this, picks/cash might have to be added) would represent a perfect off-season to me.

Childress and Frye represent Steve Nash who signs a 3 year deal at 12, 10, 8M. Dalembert had to be included to make this work with HOU, but next year is only $1.5M guaranteed before July 8th (he would be cut). Ariza and #10 for Harris and the GST pick would be done during the draft, but for demonstration purposes it goes here. I'm kind of thinking that maybe a pick or something needs to go PHX's way, but I'm not sure if it should be from HOU or not, but then I think that PHX should be happy to be getting something for a leaving Nash. Oh yeah, Bell is gone, too.
Other moves to make: Draft someone like Kyle O'Quinn in the 2nd; bring back Tinsley and figure out who to move (him or Watson), both are decent back-ups on good contracts; sign Brandon Rush to a near mid-level deal; bring back Evans

After this 'trade':
Nash, Lillard (hard to do this deal if he isn't there), Watson, Tinsley
Hayward, Burks, Rush
Ariza, Rush, Carroll, Evans
Millsap, Evans
Favors, Kanter, O'Quinn

That's 14 players at around $56M with approximately $40M on the books this next off-season and possibly more than 10 players under contract depending on what happens with Watson/Tinsley, Evans and Carroll.

This is my idea of a perfect off-season. Thoughts? Improvements? Chances it will work? I'm already leary of POR taking Lillard and screwing this up.



*Disclaimer: I apologize if my math is off, I was using Sham Sports and approximating deals for several players while adding it all up in my head.
