I've been reading many threads over the past few weeks and I've seen many similar trades repeated over and over again especially with the Denver nuggets. So here's what I have...
Toronto Sends
Lou Williams (IND)
Chuck Hayes (IND)
Patrick Patterson (HOU)
Indiana Sends
David West (TOR)
Chris Copeland (HOU)
Houston Sends
Trevor Ariza (TOR)
Toronto pulls the trigger on this trade because they obviously need an upgrade defensively at the small forward position and Ariza is a 3-D type of player. They also receive David West whos a solid veteran who can provide us with 14 & 8 despite his current age, at the same time he can mentor Valanciunas and all the other players some toughness. Indiana does this trade because david west will likely bolt given his age and desire to play for a contender so they would probably like to get something back at the very least and lou williams will give them the scoring that they dont have because of Paul George's absence. Houston is loaded with small forwards with brewer and j smith and would have the flexibity to deal ariza for patterson who thrived during his first few years in houston as a starter before he got traded to the kings and he would be a nice fit in the starting lineup for them. They also get Chris Copeland who is not as good as ariza but he can bring the same type of defensive intensity for the team and can shoot the 3 a little.
I also think Toronto should sign Andray Blatche because hes another solid veteran who can help us out.
Our new starting lineup becomes
Lowry/Vasquez
DeRozan/Ross
Ariza/JJohnson/Fields/Caboclo
West/Johnson/Hansbrough
Valanciunas/Blatche/Stiesma/Nogeuira
Leave a reply and tell me what you guys think, thanks.
