Ok, I know that people hate the trade scenarios being played over and over, but I still like playing around with it. Please comment on what you think on this trade.
Of course, a trade wouldn't be a trade unless it involves a 4 team trade. The 4 team trade is between Orlando, Denver, Indiana, and Sacramento
Orlando
Gives - VC, Pietrus, Bass, and Gortat (Possibly some Draft Picks as well to help complete the trade)
Receives - Melo, Thompson, and Dunleavy
Summary: Melo would definitely be an upgrade, Thompson would be a great replacement for Gortat that could also play PF better than Gortat I'm sure, and Dunleavy (expiring contract 10.5mil) would be ok and would probably be 2nd to 3rd option at SF, but being 6' 9" would still be ok defensively. Magic would still be a very deep team with the possibility to still go after CP3 next year or the year after.
Denver
Gives - Melo, JR Smith
Receives - Gortat, Granger, and Pietrus
Summary: Granger helps with the loss of Melo by not having much of a drop off, Gortat can be the starting Center which would allow Nene to go back to his PF position. Pietrus would fill the role that JR Smith held.
Indiana
Gives - Granger and Dunleavy
Receives - VC and Bass
Summary: Indiana does have Paul George now, so the loss of Granger would not be as bad as it would have been last year. Indiana, of course, gets the worst of the deal as far as players being swapped. They would not have a large contract anymore with Granger's being the last major sized contract left. They would get a temporary upgrade this year at the SG position with VC and his expiring contract. VC as his age is still an upgrade over Rush. Bass would give them a PF that could have potential to play some good minutes, and who knows what his potential could top out at when given the minutes. Now Indiana would receive a couple draft picks, at least from Orlando.
Sacramento
Gives - Thompson
Receives - JR Smith
Summary: Sacramento is stacked with Big men and they need a good SG. JR Smith would be a very good pick up that can shoot the three ball and fill one of the last real pieces that Sacramento needs.
Money wise it works pretty well. I see at least 3 teams benefiting from it. Indiana could really benefit from the draft picks to build a young and talented team through the draft.
Now the Magic are my team so I am going to list the depth chart for Magic only because I am not going to make this too long of a post.
Orlando Magic Depth Chart after the trade:
PG: Jameer / Duhon / J Williams
SG: JJ / Q Richardson (Would like to see them try to pick up a trade with Houston for C Lee to come back)
SF: Melo / Dunleavy / S Robinson
PF: R Lewis / Anderson / ( Possible Traditional PF: Thompson)
C: Howard / Thompson / Orton
So now that you read this, what do you think? Seem viable or is there something that I did not think of?

Run trades through the trade checker to make sure the contract amounts work. Otherwise, there is no point in discussing an impossible trade.

Re: Pacer Fans
Nor is there any reason to discuss such a crappy trade where Orlando milks any and all value out of 3 other teams, while giving up the least amount of value as possible.
