I'm a bit of both a Wizards fan and a Raptors fans, and I came up with this idea for a trade:
Toronto receives:
Antawn Jamison
Oleksiy Pecherov
Darius Songaila
2009 second-round pick
Washington receives:
Chris Bosh
Rasho Nesterovic
Luke Jackson
Kris Humphries
This may seem like a strange trade, but I thought it would work out well for each team. For the Wizards: they receive one of the league's top young power forwards in Bosh; Nesterovic provides a solid back-up or starter for when Haywood struggles; Humphries and Jackson are both pretty solid coming off the bench; plus, the contracts of Rasho, Humphries, and Jackson all come off the books after this season. For the Raptors: Jamison is getting old, but he does provide them another outside threat who can also play down low(his contract does expire after this season so if he falters they don't have to re-sign him or can use it as effective trade bait); Songaila is an effective small forward/power forward player who could come in and start at the small forward position, allowing Kapono to move to shooting guard, where he would be more effective; Pecherov gives them an up-and-coming natural center, which could allow Bargnani to move to a position that he is better suited to; also, both Pecherov and Songaila fit in with Colangelo's concept to appeal to the foreign audience in Toronto.

Thats just crazy, Im sorry, i dont mean to sound condencending, but, Bosh is considered a franchise player by many, Jamison and roll players is just not enough.

To put this further into perspective for Wiz fans, I don't think anyone at Raptor HQ would even want Arenas for Bosh, because they value Bosh so much higher as a player to a build a franchise around.
My own opinion is that Arenas would best max his NBA career as an SG and #2 leader behind a star big...
Anybody have a realistic trade idea that could benefit the Wizards? Possibly trade for a guard? Anthony Johnson could probably be had for very little, and he'd provide some good bench scoring.
