Sixers coming back from the dead!

But seriously, as for an Amare trade, how about Amare straight up for Elton Brand?

Ok, no seriously, I think the Nets make the most sense. See here:

NETS: Yi Jianlian, Stromile Swift, Ryan Anderson, Jarvis Hayes and a No. 1 pick
• See this trade in the ESPN Trade Machine

Why they’d do it: The Nets could be immediate contenders again with a team of Devin Harris, Vince Carter, Brook Lopez and Amare. And if they end up finding a new home for Vince Carter at the trade deadline or this summer (word is the Spurs are interested), the Nets might have the opportunity in 2010 to offer LeBron James a chance to play with Harris, Amare and Lopez.

The Suns would get a young big with a bright future in Yi plus another first-round pick — either the Nets’ pick this year, or the one Dallas owes the Nets in 2010. They would also clear about $12 million off their cap next year when Swift, Ager and Hayes all come off the books.

Why they wouldn’t: It’s hard to imagine that New Jersey wouldn’t do it. Amare can come off the books in 2010, meaning that New Jersey could still pursue LeBron and other free agents then, even if they make the trade. In the meantime, they would be relevant again.

For the Suns, the question would be, is this enough to get for Amare? Yi is a talent and the pick would be nice. But is there a better trade to be made?
