Chicago
out: Joakim Noah, Andres Nocioni, Tyrus Thomas, Thabo Sefolosha, Viktor Khryapa, Chris Duhon, future 1st
in: Pau Gasol, Juan Carlos Navarro, Desmond Mason
They cash in their assets to get a legit low-post scoring threat in Gasol. They still have some depth and should be good enough to challenge the East crown.
Wallace/Gasol/Gray
Gasol/Smith
Deng/Mason
Gordon/JCN
Hinrich/JCN/Curry
Memphis (cut Andre Brown)
out: Pau Gasol, Juan Carlos Navarro
in: Emeka Okafor, Charlie Villanueva, Thabo Sefolosha, Othella Harrington
They get younger with a good offense/defense combo of Okafor and CV, former teammates at UConn. They also get some perimeter defense with young Thabo. They will be able to build a squad for Iavaroni's run-and-gun system.
Okafor/Darko
CV/Swift
Gay/Thabo
Miller/Jacobsen
Conley/Lowry
Charlotte (cut Jeff McInnis)
out: Emeka Okafor, Othella Harrington
in: Joakim Noah, Tyrus Thomas, Chris Duhon, David Noel, future CHI 1st
They get two lotto pick young big with tremendous potential in Noah and Tyrus Thomas. They also get PG help with gritty veteran in Duhon, who should be a great tutor for Felton. Noel comes back to reunite with former UNC teammates Felton and May.
Nazr/Noah/Hollins
Thomas/Noah/(May)
Wallace/Carroll
JRich/Anderson
Felton/Duhon
Milwaukee
out: Charlie Villanueva, Desmond Mason, David Noel
in: Andres Nocioni, Viktor Khryapa
Charlie V doesn't seem to have a future with the Bucks, and they have a great need at SF. Nocioni fills a need for them at SF, and his shooting makes him a great fit there.
