Raptors trade : Bargnani, Calderon, Weems, Dorsey
Memphis trade: Gasol, Conley, Henry, Thabeet
Not a bad trade, in terms of numbers, off by 3 mil, both teams would be -1,
Raptors depth would be;
Bayless/Conley
DD/Barbosa/Henry
Klieza/Wright/(Peja assuming hes gonna be dealt with soon)
Evans/Johnson/Davis
Gasol/Thabeet/Alabi
I don't see it happening. They clearly want Calderon to link up with Marc. And a mass clearout at this point will affect both teams. They have a team that can easily compete in playoffs and they are clearly filling in the missing gaps - an experienced guard and a good bench. They will not trade any of their big guys Zack, Gasol and Rudy for Calderon.
They will probably trade Calderon for Conley and a guard - Mayo or Allen.

Mayo and Conley is a pretty good trade for the raptors IMO (despite the 6 year contract). We have two young point guards in conley and bayless. Mayo is a solid guard (minutes, shooting%, defending) for a 23 year old. And his arrival would mean Derozan has to work harder to stay there or bulk up for that open SF position. But a more realistic trade would be something like Calderon for Allen + Conley or Calderon + Weems for Mayo + Conley which is not too bad for us.
