The first trade is with Detroit:
Toronto Trades: Jose Calderon, Reggie Evans ($5M expiring)
Detroit Trades: Tayshaun Prince, Chris Wilcox ($3M expiring assuming he picks up his player option)
The trade provides Detroit with a PG and helps free up about 2 million for next season (or they can use Reggie as a bigger expiring contract than Wilcox at the deadline). If they want more, it's possible to include our 13th pick, though I wouldn't necessarily like doing that.
The second trade is with the Clippers:
Toronto Trades: Hedo Turkoglu, Marco Belinelli
Clippers Trade: Baron Davis
This assumes the Clippers will lose out on the LeBron James sweepstakes (high possibility?). While it does leave their PG spot bare, it fills up their hole at SF. Baron Davis wasn't working out with the Clippers after his fantastic season with Golden State.
The roster is now:
PG: Baron Davis/Jarret Jack/Marcus Banks
SG: DeMar DeRozan/Sonny Weems
SF: Tayshaun Prince
PF: Chris Wilcox
C: Andrea Bargnanni
The roster is much more balanced at the 1-3 spots. Jarret Jack can play at the 1/2, while Sonny Weems and DeRozan can play at the 2/3. It's also much better defensively at the 1-3 spots, with the only real defensive liability being a developing DeMar DeRozan. The lineup also improves our chances of bringing back Bosh.
Assuming Bosh and Johnson re-sign we have:
PG: Baron Davis/Jarret Jack/Marcus Banks
SG: DeMar DeRozan/Sonny Weems
SF: Tayshaun Prince
PF: Chris Bosh/Amir Johnson
C: Andrea Bargnanni/Chris Wilcox
Assuming Rahat's offer #1 is taken:
PG: Baron Davis/Jarret Jack/Marcus Banks
SG: DeMar DeRozan/Sonny Weems/Jermaine Taylor
SF: Tayshaun Prince/Chase Budinger
PF: Jarred Jeffries/Jordan Hill
C: Andrea Bargnanni/Chris Wilcox/Dave Anderson
(Potentially add Amir Johnson)
Assuming Rahat's offer #2 is taken:
PG: Baron Davis/Jarret Jack/Marcus Banks
SG: DeMar DeRozan/Sonny Weems/Jermaine Taylor
SF: Tayshaun Prince/Shane Battier
PF: Jordan Hill/Chris Wilcox
C: Andrea Bargnanni/Dave Anderson
(Potentially add Amir Johnson)
Personally, I take offer #2 from Rahat and resign/start Amir Johnson.
