WHO I WOULD TRADE TO GET ANTHONY DAVIS

I asked several of my friends whether they would trade the Cav's Kyrie Irving for the right to draft Kentucky's Anthony Davis. The guys didn't really know how to answer. There was at least one solid, "No, I would not," and several other "Hmm I would have to think about it a little bit, probably not though's."

Anthony Davis is a pretty unique kid. Three years ago he was 6'1. Two years ago he was 6'3. The only offer he had on the table when he was a junior in high school was from Cleveland State University. They projected that maybe if he worked hard and kept developing physically he could be a 6'5 wing guard.

Nowadays, he's the best player around. People love him to death but don't know what to make of him. The hyperbole out last night was that he's the next Bill Russell. Others Marcus Camby 2.0, maybe Kevin Durant, Patrick Ewing, etc.

Who would you trade for him? Who would you never trade for him? Here's my rough attempt at a list. Age DOES MATTER in this list. Dirk and Kobe and Pau and Timmy are not on the list because they are over 32.

REALLY GOOD Guys I WOULD NOT Trade to Get Anthony Davis:

Lebron
Westbrook
Durant
Howard
Paul
Wade
Love
Bynum
Marc Gasol
Aldridge
Deron Williams

REALLY GOOD Guys I WOULD DEFINITELY CONSIDER TRADING:

Rose
Griffin
Kyrie Irving
Rondo
Bosh
Curry
Paul George
Granger
Eric Gordon
Tyson Chandler
Gay
Igoudala


No one is a bigger D Rose fan than me. But he's got a lot of injuries in a lot of different places on his body.
