TO MILWAUKEE: Samuel Dalembert, Ricky Ledo, Dallas' 2016 first-rounder
TO DALLAS: Larry Sanders, Dwight Buycks
TO TORONTO: Vince Carter, Bernard James
Dallas is rumoured to be interested in Sanders (the idea being Rick Carlisle can turn him into the next Tyson Chandler), whom Milwaukee wants to move and get draft picks. Because Sanders is poison-pilled because of his extension, Dallas has to be able to absorb $9m of salary. They can do this by moving Dalembert, Carter, James and Ledo. We take Carter with our trade exception in a technically-separate trade to make some room, then Dallas moves everybody else for Sanders. Milwaukee gets a first-rounder, a team-option in Dalembert which they can exercise if they like, and a young prospect in Ledo who's promising but getting no playtime in Dallas because the guard rotation there is way too stacked. Dallas gets Sanders and Buycks, plus room to sign a veteran to a mid-year minimum contract for their playoff run. And we get Vince - a scoring wing we desperately need - for the net expenditure of Dwight Buycks, so we give up next to nothing.
