1. Trade checker 6160323 Diop/Biz traded for Detroit's Villanueva/Drummond.
Why for Detroit...Diops 0 expiring and Villanueva 1 more on contract , playing no minutes. Drummond 4 years contract limited behind Monroe at 5 and Biz give Pistons Defense shot blocker at backup center + more mpg.
Why fo Charlotte... Diops spot filled with Drummond to learn from and backup Heywood. Villanueva and TT backup Mully at 4. After next season Villanuevas contract expires and if Mully continues to improve use $ to sign him to long term deal. TT's contract is expiring the season after that and will then be an attractive trade.
At the same time Drummond is getting better and more minutes and starts ahead of Heywood in 2014.
2.Trade checker 6160319 Diop/Hendo/Biz traded for Washington's Okafore/Crawford.
Why for Washington..Diops expiring conract vus Okafore one more year.. Biz at 5 and Hendo at 3 provide younger core with Beal and Wall and is much better than players they have currently.. 0-8 record..
Why for Charlotte...Okafore with Heywood at center provides more points in paint. We still draft/acquire FA center in 2013 and Okafore contract then expires. Crawford has upside and provides 3rd 2 guard developing behind Taylor + Gordon mentors him.
3.Trade checker Diop/Henderson/Portlands protected 1st round pick obtained in GW trade for Kanter/Burks/Bell
Why for Utah... Frees up lots of money under the cap after this season by shedding 2 Burks/Kanter 3 year contracts. With their own expiring contracts +Diops They can buy whatever free agent team they want and replace one of their starters wih Henderson at 2 or 3 and still have $ to resign him later. With Portlands pick they can stockpile it for 2014/2015 if Portland finishs above 12th in the 2013 lottery.
Why for Charlotte...Burks/Taylor would start at 2 and Gordon off the bench and we still have Raja Bell (contractexpiring)as our 13th man. Kanter is our starting center wih Haywood backing him up.and we still have Mully,TT, Biz at 4. Yes both Burks ad Kanter have 3 year contacts but our team of the future would be already built
