Two trade the Knicks should make

It seems all the focus has been on the Knicks either trading for or signing Carmelo Anthony the last few days in Knicks land, as the attention slowly moves from the 2010 free agent debacle to the future possibilities.
However, I would still prefer the Knicks trade for Chris Paul and I think it could be done.
Now, both the Nuggets and Hornets have said their top stars are off limits, however it may become very clear that neither team can surround their guys with the types of teams that will convince them to sign extensions in the next month to a year. The Hornets seem to be more cash strapped than the Nuggets, and Paul has been the more vocal about wanting to "see something" from his front office or possibly demanding a trade. Something just tells me that Paul might be the first one to make such a stink about leaving, the Hornets have no choice but to listen.
If that happened, here is what I would do:
I would trade Danillo Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, Anthony Randolph, and Eddy Curry for Chris Paul and Emeka Okafor. Money wise, the Knicks would be sending the Hornets about $18.6 million and getting back $26.3 million.
Why would the Hornets do this?
It gives them two very good young players in Gallinari and Randolph, but guys around 20-years-old who have a lot of upside, a solid young guy in Chandler, and the expiring contract of Eddy Curry. It gives them salary cap flexibility. They also have Darren Collison, who was sensational last year when Paul was out, so it would allow them to cushion the blow of losing Paul by promoting Collison as a possible star in his own right.
Why would the Knicks do this?
They get the best point guard in the league, when healthy. Under Mike D'Antoni, Paul could equal Steve Nash in terms of production and maturation. His numbers could be off the charts, and one could only salivate at the thought of Paul and Amare Stoudemire running the pick and roll to perfection game in and game out. Plus, it gives the Knicks their face of the organization. Paul, by all accounts, is a good guy with a killer desire to win and a tendency to get intimately involved with the community. You could plaster Paul's face all over the city and he would instantly become one of the biggest sports stars around.
You would also get a borderline all star in Okafor. I had thought Okafor would be a better player by this time, putting up Al Jefferson numbers of 20/10 on a regular basis, but, besides last year in New Orleans, he has been a 14/11 guy with two blocks a game. In D'Antoni's offense, Okafor wouldn't get a lot of looks, but he is a terrific rebounder, very good defender, and he can easily run the floor in a high-powered offense (he comes from Uconn, which was a transition-style offense in college, where he helped win a national title). He is also a great put-back offensive player and would probably average a double-double in a more up tempo offense.

Bringing in Paul would mean that newly-signed Raymond Felton wouldn't have a position (he doesn't shoot it well enough to play the two) so I would follow the Paul trade with this:
Trade Raymond Felton and Ronny Turiaf for Andre Igudola and Marreese Speights. Money wise, the Knicks would be sending $15.3 million to the 76ers and getting $13.8 million in return.
Why would the 76ers do this deal?
While the 76ers would be taking back more money then they would be sending, Felton's deal is only for two years so, in the long run, it would provide more cap flexibility as the Igudola contract is for, I believe, another four years. Plus, it would allow the 76ers to move everyone to their more obvious spots on the floor. Jrue Holiday, slated to be the point guard, is a more natural two, as is Igudola. This trade would allow the 76ers to play Felton at the point, Holiday at the two, and top draft pick Evan Turner at the three. Since Holiday and Turner are similar in style and size, they can move back and forth between the two and three, depending on matchups. It would also give them a tough, veteran center to play along side Elton Brand at power forward.
Why would the Knicks do this deal?
Felton becomes expendable once Paul joins the team. Turiaf is a nice fit for the Knicks but, with Okafor, the only thing the Knicks would need is a serviceable big man to spell him and, perhaps, play some power forward, which Speights would provide.
With Igudola, he was billed in Philly as the go-to option, but he hasn't shown the kind of consistency to do that. However, with the Knicks, he would slide in as the third option on the team, an athletic two-guard to complement Paul and Stoudemire. He is a slasher, is wonderful in the open, and would thrive in the run and gun style of D'Antoni.
Under this scenario, the Knicks would be a few hundred thousand beyond the salary cap, which could easily be maneuvered around by Walsh (a little cash sent here, there, and that should be fine). It would leave the bench suspect unless guys like Tony Douglas and Jerome Jordan showed they were top players, but the starting five would be Chris Paul (PG), Andre Igudola (SG), Keleena Azubuike (SF), Amare Stoudemire (PF), Emeka Okafor (C). Your bench would be Tony Douglas (PG), Bill Walker (SG/SF), Jerome Jordan (PF/C), Marreese Speights (PF/C), Andy Rautins (SG).
Like I said, the bench on that team is suspect, although I like what you saw from Douglas last year and Walker, both of whom could be major contributors. However, that starting five could be as explosive as any in the entire league, and I believe could challenge for a spot in the East Finals. You would worry a little about defense, although Igudola would be a terrific defender and Azubuike can be a top defender as well, but it would be hard to name teams better than that squad.
