Should the NBA teams be making such drastic trades.

I think drastic trades are good for NBA. we will feel excited when some drastic trades happened. I'm a fan of Boston Celtics. when Allen left, I feel sad but you know, it's excited. it can take us keep fresh to watch NBA. if the superstar and good old player always stay one team and no change happened. i will feel boring.and some old players' trades can bring some team good chance to win games. Jason Kidd will help NY to win more games and Jason Terry can help Boston too.

They only know what is good for the team and for the players. Trades are makes so the team can improved and make it stronger.

The way that the league is moving, yes it is necessary for these players to make what you are referring to as "drastic" movements. Quite frankly it is about building teams and playing with players that will get you to where you want to be. Ask Steve Nash if he would rather be with Toronto than Los Angeles? There is a novelty for playing at home, but he would not sniff a title over the border, but with the Lakers he is with a contender. Ray Allen moves from one top contender to another; he fits PERFECTLY into the scheme of the Miami Heat. He can hover around the perimeter of the floor and clear up the lane for Wade and LeBron to penetrate. He causes defenders to be honest guarding him and open up shots for Bosh and Chalmers from outside as well. And he's still a hard worker defensively; he'll fight through screens and had some key steals during the Miami-Boston series. These vets provide experience and guidance for these "young teams"; much like what Derek Fisher game the Thunder, they are key pieces that every championship team needs. Besides the Thunder, though, the contenders in the NBA are not young teams at all. It's the teams that are stacking veterans in their prime with some players in the twilight of their careers. This is the era the NBA is in right now; we are looking at a league where players want to play with other good players and build a championship now. Miami, Boston, and Los Angeles have provided the blueprint for this in recent years. How many teams are we going to see in the future be able to build like San Antonio? Very few.

I think NBA is a business. So most probably the player and team organization is making good business too. So big trades is just a normal every year.

Every team is aiming to be the champion and they should get whatever is needed to achieve that. Coaches know their weakness and strong areas and they trade according to their need. I think all the trades are fine. The only remaining question is on how the coach make plays/adjustments due to the addition of new team members and capitalize their talent.

Veterans in NBA nowadays move to earn a championship or more championships. That is what mattes most to most veterans that is why they are leaving and looking for other teams to help them achieve championships. Since the formation of the Big Three in Boston, trades now are big and most big market area teams usually builds a super team with them leaving other teams behind. That is one drastic change in the NBA resulting in drastic trades nowadays.

Deapending on how you view such trades, for me they are not drastic trades at all because it all depends on the coaches perception of team, the area where he would like to improve and give his team a good boost for the coming season. Steve Nash needed that change seriously and thank God he got a good deal and considering the fact that he had been an all star mvp twice without winning anything with phoenix suns I think he ought to leave to get himself a better chance of joining a team with championship potentials. This same reason applies to Ray Allen but he has more championship rings than Steve, he needed a change or retire and for a guy whose is considering retirement due to his recent poor performance then joining a team where he could maybe get another championship ring and maybe set a higher record on his 3 points shooting percentage then he had to take that exit. New Jersey Nets to me was not the kind of club Jason Kidd should have accepted a deal with, it never helped him, it just made his game style drop and then when he went to Dallas Mavericks, he was able to achieve a lot in the short time he played there likewise Jason Terry, who I think should be 31, both guys have grown other and their experiences are needed in teams that have great young players but find it hard to achieve a lot due to lack of experience. Depending on these players or stars I think they have made their choices in accepting the deals they were offered. Much more am waiting to see how Superman demand to leave Orlando Magic would go.
