New line up

PG Westbook
SG Durrant
SF Dunleavy
PF Green
C Swift

Dunleavy would bring scoring and he is an excellent ball handler who can lead the break

I don't think people are in the mood to talk about trades considering this isn't OUR team anymore, but with that said.. i'll give you an opinion and say no, Dunleavy's contract is too horrible and doesn't bring anything the team desires.

Not a bad idea. Dunleavy had a nice year last year. But I doubt he can reproduce that performance, much less maintain it for the remainder of his contract. Also, as Yoshi points out, his contract is undesirable. And Wilcox is still pretty valuable. But I agree that Dunleavy would be a good fit. He would probably be the best perimeter shooter, and yeah, his ball-handling would be useful alongside Durant and Westbrook. Also, like Durant, he can play either of the wing positions, which would be useful. Unfortunately, he is not a superior defender.

If this team is going to trade Chris Wilcox they're going to need a young player with upside in return.

Well Dunleavy was a legitimate candidate for most improvd player last year. He posted career bests in evry category. Shot over 43% from the 3, 45% from the fiele. Averaged 18pts, 5Rbs, 5asst at over 40 min agame. I think he is 26?
