Please don't say Lewis....

Seattle can't build around him.

Not to mention that Calvin Booth and Jerome James have terrible contracts and they both suck.  I'd do Lewis/Barry for Reef.  If Ray Allen is healthy and the ankle is not going to be a chronic problem (I wouldn't do this deal until I'd seen Allen play for a while), I'd do Ray Allen for Reef.  But no trade with SEA that brings back junk and Booth and James both qualify as junk.
