Toronto Trades: Hedo Turkoglu ($9.8 M), Andrea Bargnani ($8 M)
Toronto Outgoing Salary: $17.8 M

Utah Trades: Andrei Kirilenko ($17.8 M), Carlos Boozer (S&T $14-15 M), Draft Rights to #9
Utah Outgoing Salary: $31.8-32.8 M

New Jersey Trades: Keyon Dooling ($3.8 M, only $500K guaranteed), Courtney Lee $(1.35 M), Draft Rights to #3, #27
New Jersey Outgoing Salary: $5.15 M

New Jersey Receives: Carlos Boozer, Andrei Kirilenko
New Jersey Incoming Salary: $31.8-32.8 M

PG: Devn Harris
SG: Terrence Williams
SF: Andrei Kirilenko
PF: Carlos Boozer/Yi Jianlin
C: Brook Lopez/Kris Humphries

+ Qualifying Offer to Josh Boone
+ #31 pick

Is Courtney Lee and Derrick Favors worth Andrei Kirilenko and Carlos Boozer? For Prokhorov, Kirilenko is likely a prized asset. This also puts the Nets in a position to win much sooner rather than later (Something prokhorov wants). A front court of Kirilenko-Boozer-Lopez is deadly, especially in the east.

Technically speaking prokhorov could sign Boozer outright, but he wouldn't be able to obtain Kirilenko without giving up assets. In this scenario Toronto gives up its assets in exchange for unproven comodities.

Utah Receives: Andrea Bargnani, Hedo Turkoglu, Courtney Lee
Utah Incoming Salary: $19.15 M

PG: Deron Williams/Ronnie Price
SG: Courtney Lee
SF: Hedo Turkoglu/CJ Miles
PF: Paul Milsap
C: Andrea Bargnani/Mehmet Okur/Kosta Koufos

+ #55 pick
+ re-sign Wesley Matthews

Utah gets its Okur replacement with Bargs, a proven playoff vet to help shoulder the load with Hedo, and fills their whole at the 2-guard spot with Lee, who has playoff finals experience and is a strong defender and three point shooter (shot over 40% in Orlando).

Toronto Receives: Keyon Dooling, Draft Rights to #3, #9, #27
Toronto Incoming Salary: $3.8 M (only $500K guaranteed) + signing draft picks

PG: Jose/Jack/Banks
SG: DeRozan/Belinelli
SF: Weems
PF: Reggie Evans
C:

+ Re-sign Amir Johnson
+ #3 Draft Rights (Derrick Favors/Wesley Johnson/Demarcus Cousins)
+ #9 Draft Rights (Greg Monroe/Paul George/Pattrick Patterson)
+ #13 Draft Pick (Cole Aldrich/Avery Bradley/Xavier Henry/Eric Bledsoe)
+ #27 Draft Rights (Gani Lawal?)

Toronto pushes the reset button, with the only long and over-priced contract being Jose Calderon. They end up with 4 first rounders and begin rebuilding Oklahoma style. They also still have the Chris Bosh sign-and-trade to gain some more assets.


i just thought that this was a very interesting and if it did go down who would you guys draft at 3, 9, 13 and 27?
