Well, before I go on, I'm not promising that this is a perfect team or that all the deals will go through, but, this is what I did with the ESPN Trade Machine.
Firsit, I began by trading away Zach Randolph to the nuggets for Nene Hilario & Eduardo Najera. I figured the Nuggets would be okay with adding another top talent to their team and Nene has shown some signs of skill while Najera has 2 more years on his close to $5 million contact. After that, I said good bye to Marbury as I traded him to the Cavs for Larry Hughes and Eric Snow. I figured that the Cavs might want another scorer to complement James, even though the two are totally different. Getting Larry Hughes would put a pretty good starter on the Knicks and Eric Snow is a good veteran with a short contract. I traded away Quinten Richardson & cash for Andre Miller. The 76ers are done and probably will take chances. Andre Miller is an underestimated PG who will help the team. I ended off my trades by using the Channing Frye trade compensation to Toronto for Joey Graham, adding a key piece to our bench. After the deals, my tema looked like this:
New Roster:
C Eddy Curry
PF Nene Hilario
SF Larry Hughes
SG Jamal Crawford
PG Andre Miller
Bench-
Nate Robinson, PG
Joey Graham, SF
David Lee PF
Fred Jones, SG
Jerome James, PF
Randolph Morris, PF/C
Eric Snow, PG
Malik Rose, PF
Jared Jeffries, SF
Eduardo Najera, SG/SF
Mardy Collins, SG
Renaldo Balkman, SF/PF
Wilson Chandler SF/PF
Now, I know my team is not perfect, but I think I definetly improved them. During the next offseasons, they lose some big contracts to sign a few key bench players along with drafting some good people in the NBA Draft. Now, if you want, let me know what you think. I would appreciate it if your comments and complaints weren’t too harsh. Thank you.

WestCoastin4Life, I can't do that. You see, Larry Huges has about a $12 million contract compared to Quinten Richardon's $8 million deal. Also, Marbury has 1 $19 million contract while Andre Miller has $9 million. Philly would have to add a lot of money to that deal and it's not worth all the trouble for Marbury. But, good suggestion.

BuckeyesTribeBearsCavs, I don't know why you don't like this. I know Marbury going to the Cavs is a bit iffy and i don't want to see it happen, as I am a Cavs fan and it would only make them worse, but i think they could very well take it. Plus, Marbury may be their best PG, but what kind of PG scores first and passes later? And Marbury is a huge ego who brings diown the team. In fact, the whole thing that makes the team bad is the egos. So, i got a veteran in Andre Miller who will be willing to give up the ball,but can score, as you and I both know as Cavs fans. Also, he could take Robinson under his wing to prepare him for the future to bring back a Knicks dynasty. So, I know i didn't do a perfect job, but better than firing everybody and picking OJ Mayo #1, which they don't automatically get.
