Toronto In:
Pau Gasol
Mo Williams
Earl Watson
Alec Burks
Steve Blake
Utah In:
Kyle Lowry
Danny Granger
Linas Kleiza
Indiana In:
Jose Calderon
Demar Derozan
Lakers In:
Andrea Bargnani
Paul Millsap
Raja Bell
Why for TO?
Time to clean house. Pau Gasol can help Jonas develop further. Alec Burks gives them a prospect to check out. Hopefully, the Raps will give their pick up this year and they will have a very young roster next year where they should be just awful enough to put them into the 2014 Wiggins sweepstakes.
Why for UTAH?
They get an aggressive PG in Lowry who can penetrate defenses along with the wildcard Danny Granger. If Granger can get back into form, Utah will be a very dangerous team in the west.
Why for IND?
They get a solid return for Granger. Calderon can be a steady back-up or inserted into the starting line up if George Hill can't get the offense rolling. Derozan along with Paul George will give them a nice young wing core for years to come.
Why for LAL?
They get Millsap and Bargnani who'll fit better in the D'Antoni offense. They also re-unite Raja and Nash while unloading the contract of Steve Blake.
