To Lakers: Jose Calderon
To Philly: Shannon Brown, Marco Belinelli, Vujacic, Toronto cash considerations
To Toronto: Iguodala
Then something like:
Scenario 1:
To New Orleans: Sonny Weems, Reggie Evans, Marcus Banks
To Toronto: Emeka Okafor
*similar proposal to Golden State for Biedrins
Scenario 2:
To Portland: Sonny Weems, Reggie Evans, Joey Dorsey
To Toronto: Marcus Camby
*similar proposal to Orlando for Gortat
Then, trade #13 down for OKC's #21 and #26 and draft a PG and a SF.
Giving us something like:
Jack/Bledsoe(#26)
Iguodala/DeRozan
Turkoglu/Damion Jones(#21)
Bosh/Amir
Bargnani/Okafor/Dorsey
or
Jack/Banks/Bledsoe(#26)
Iguodala/DeRozan
Turkoglu/Damion Jones(#21)
Bosh/Amir
Bargnani/Camby
Someone (rapsobsessed7) please comment on this, I was up til 230 am last night coming up with these scenarios.
I do like it for the Raptors obviously but heres the thing. Phillys GM has been told to compete next year or hes gone basically. So i dont see them trading Iguodala for expiring contracts. However they are a tax team as of right now and they cant be for next season, comcast is notorious for being cheap so they do need to avoid tax.
I have no doubt in my mind if you gave them useless expiring contracts and took Brand + Iguodala they would sign off immediately. I dont think they do that deal though.
Also the Lakers dont want to add substantial payroll, i mean they set their coaching salary limit at 5 million meaning they could let Jackson walk if he demands more. The only deal i see them doing is Sasha + Walton + 2011 1st for Calderon.
I think a Philly deal that is much closer and depends how cheap they are and direction they are going would be. Evans + Banks + #13 (Xavier Henry) for Andre Iguodala. I think thats more plausible.
As for your 2nd scenario trades. I dont like giving up Weems. I also dont think Amir resigns if he has Okafor/Gortat/Camby/Biedrins competing with him for minutes. I think re-signing Amir + getting someone to play small minutes like a Josh Powell or someone like that, makes more sense. That way Amir can develop and get his minutes so i dont see that happening.
So all in all, i dont see Philly doing that unless Brand is added for expiring contracts otherwise they probably would demand Derozan and the #13 (but im hoping their cheap enough to just do the #13). Also i dont think backup C is the way to go unless their a project like a Daniel Orton/Hassan Whiteside. Hope that helps man.
