Rationale for each team:

Bucks: We break up the MO-Redd Backcourt. I'd rather see Redd go, but if we are dealing MO, this would be good i think. Watson splits time with Ivey and Bell for min at PG. Redd plays SG and Hedo plays SF. Wilcox plays the 4 and Yi backs him up. We continue our game plan throwing it in to Bogut, yet we have another shooter in Hedo for him to kick it to.

Other considerations: We dump simmons. We dump CV (for me this is great). We get hustle in Wilcox. Watson isn't great but hes a part time solution.

Lineup:

Watson/Ivey
Redd/Bell
Hedo/Mason
Wilcox/Yi/Ruffin
Bogut/Voskhul/Gadz

Orlando: Orlando started off great, but is now slowing down. Shard won't be traded with his contract, and Dwight is untouchable. Hedo is the only one with trade value, and he might be a one year wonder, so cash in your chips now if you are Orlando. Van Gundy hasn't been happy with his point guard play all year. They trade arroyo here (dooling works as well if you want to trade dooling), and get Mo, who can knock down the open shots howard will give him. Mo is young. They can build around those 3. Wilkins will make their team a bit deaper. Dooling who has playoff experience backs him up.

Seattle:

Seattle dumps some contracts, taking back one bad one in the meantime, but they know they won't be good in the next 2 years anyway, and then simmons will come off the books when they are about to do well. They have been looking to get rid of Wilkins anyway. They add a young, "rising star" in villanueva, and can afford to give him minutes along side Green and Durant. Arroyo is an expiring deal.

Doesnt make us any better so Id pass.

Getting a pass first pg (6.2 assists in 27 min), a hustle rebound PF, and upgrading our weakest position (SF) with a guy who can light it up from 3 won't make us better?

Getting rid of one of our bad contracts won't help us down the road?

I am sold, Watson, Wilcox and Hedo do make us a better team, depth at PF and a better SF

I don't see Wilcox or Hedo as good fits here at all----we need defenders horribly, and neither are even decent in that regard.

Players like Nick Collison and Damien Wilkens would be much better fits here. I don't see much of anything Orlando has that we want.

I stopped reading right here and you should have stopped typing here as well. ZERO chance Orlando trades him. Zero.

Why does Orlando do this?

We get better on both sides of the ball so I'd have to say yes. I don't think Orl or Sea do this, though.

Seattle might need a draft pick upon further thought.

Also, I don't think Hedo is untouchable. He is having a great year, but who knows if that is going to last. I've watched a few Magic games this year, and Van Gundy has been very vocal about having poor point guard play, mentioning that his team will only go as far as his PGs will take him (take that with a grain of salt if you want). Perhaps if they got back a serviceable person at the same position to replace Hedo, then they would consider it.
