Blockbuster 4 team trade
LA out: Dwight Howard
LA in: Kevin Love, Spencer Hawes
Utah out: Al Jefferson, Derek Favors, Enes Kanter
Utah in: Dwight Howard, Derek Williams
Philly out: Evan Turner, Spencer Hawes
Philly in: Al Jefferson
Min out: Kevin Love, Derek Williams
Min in: Derek Favors, Enes Kanter, Evan Turner
Lots of plusses for all sides. LA loses a headache while bringing in the hometown kid, Utah gets a true center while getting rid of their logjam frontcourt for a big return, Philly gets a center they can resign, Minnesota gets ready to play at a high level guys who've been blocked. All of this would be contingent on Dwight Howard agreeing to resign in Utah.

Re: Blockbuster 4 team trade
Besides Dwight never re-signing in Utah...this isn't too bad, IMO.
If we had to trade Love, Favors/Kanter/Turner is a nice rebuild. We could then afford to trade Pek or S&T.

Agree with both points.

Re: Blockbuster 4 team trade
Seeing as Love is signed for the next couple years and Dwight isn't, I think unless the team trading for him has a commitment to resign, Love has more value than D12.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt

Re: Blockbuster 4 team trade
Yeah, this definitely all hinges on Dwight wanting to play in Utah for the long run. But, looking at his discontent in LA, it's not about location so I wouldn't dismiss the idea.

Of course its not about location, practically every star player wants to be in a market like LA. Utah? Not so much

Re: Blockbuster 4 team trade
This is a good trade, if unlikely because of all the big players moving around. Even if DH resigns, Utah gets the short end of the stick regardless of the fact that by conventional standards they're getting the "best player." Sometimes that happens.
For the record, Dwight Howard wants to live in magical fairyland where everything is wonderful all the time. He's going to be unhappy wherever he goes.

Dwights fairyland was in Orlando ... and he pissed that down his leg.
Flip response to Love wanting out, "He has no reason to be upset, you're either a part of the problem or a part of the solution"

Re: Blockbuster 4 team trade
No way Utah does this trade.
I'd be willing to do it, though. The value is there although I'd rather we got a real shooter back in this deal.
Edit: That is obviously under assumption that this unlikely trade would in fact happen. But it won't. Just for theoretic purposes

Favors and Kantor are about to become the best front court in the NBA for the next 10 years...why would they mortgage that for brokeback (literally) Howard and mediocre DWill?
