I think that Denver is an extremely viable trade partner, mainly because of two factors: Masai's connections, and Denver's current 2-spot situation (they're starting Randy Foye). They also have 4 SF's on their team, and that's not including the injured Gallinari. I think they'd think it's worth trading one of their SF's to upgrade their 2 spot.
This trade of course will involve DeMar. He'd automatically become their starter, and would likely be the second or third scoring option on the team, behind Lawson and Gallinari when he comes back. I'd prefer taking back Chandler, as he has a cheaper contract than Gallinari. However, the main focus point of this trade isn't the players; it's New York's pick. I think Masai could definitely pry that pick away from them, especially of he took one of Denver's not so nice contracts. Something like a: DeRozan+ Stone/Daye/Hansborough+ a 2nd round pick for Chandler+Foye+New York's pick. Foye's contract has 2 years left after this, but it's a manageable 3 mill per year, and Chandler also has 2 years left. What do you guys think? Any alterations you'd make?
