Trades
Indiana trades
#11 pick
#17 pick
Memphis trades
#5 pick
Why? We all know that Chris Wallace thinks like a RealGM fanboy and wets himself at the thought of DeAndre Jordan's "totally siiiiiick" potential. Here he trades down to a spot where he should still be able to obtain him, while acquiring another pick to either move up (with the #28 pick) or to use to fill some of Memphis' many holes.
For the Pacers, they trade up for a guy who judging by some of Bird's public comments, he probably wants in Love (and also someone who fills a glaring need for his team now that JO is gone).
2nd trade
Portland trades
Joel Pryzbilla
#13 pick
#27 pick
Milwaukee trades
#8 pick
Dan Gadzuric
Why? The teams swap backup centers--the difference being that Pryzbilla is actually a really solid player who should be a solid backup in Milwaukee. So Milwaukee gets that upgrade while likely being able to fill their need at SF still at 13 and the added incentive of a late 1st rounder. Portland moves up to ensure that they can get their guy in either Alexander or Westbrook (I'll just say Alexander so that PNF doesn't blow his lid).
3rd Trade
Grizzlies trade
Brian Cardinal
#17 pick
Kings trade
Quincy Douby
Shelden Williams
#43 pick
Why? Since both Douby and Williams have team options next year, they could both be expirings, thus helping Memphis wipe away Cardinal's contract, while potentiall getting some players that could be worth the #17 pick. But it's mostly a salary dump.
The Kings do it because Petrie has a man-crush on Hibbert and we can afford to take on a year of Cardinal's salary.
4th trade
Charlotte Trades
#20 pick
#38 pick
Washington trades
#18 pick
Why? After losing out on their prize in Hibbert, Charlotte sacrifices their 2nd rounder to make sure they get their consolation in Koufos.
Washington still gets their guy (according to my complete guess) while getting another 2nd rounder.
1. Bulls - Derrick Rose
2. Heat - Michael Beasley
3. Minnesota - OJ Mayo
4. Seattle - Brook Lopez
5. Indiana - Kevin Love
6. New York - Jerryd Bayless
7. LAC - Eric Gordon
8. Portland - Joe Alexander
9. Charlotte - Russel Westbrook
10.New Jersey - Danilo Gallinari
11.Memphis - DeAndre Jordan
12.Sacramento - DJ Augustin
13.Milwaukee - Anthony Randolph
14.Golden State - Donte Greene
15.Phoenix - Brandon Rush
16.Philadelphia - Darrel Arthur
17.Sacramento - Roy Hibbert
18.Charlotte - Kosta Koufos
19.Cleveland - Alexis Ajinca
20.Washington - Javale MgGee
21.New Jersey - Marreese Speights
22.Orlando - Courtney Lee
23.Utah - Robin Lopez
24.Seattle - Nicolas Batum
25.Houston - Chris Douglas-Roberts
26.San Antonio - Mario Chalmers
27.Milwaukee - Devon Hardin
28.Memphis - JJ Hickson
29.Detroit - Bill Walker
30.Boston - Jason Thompson
I'll probably add explanations later.
