Toronto Trades: Hedo Turkoglu, Jarret Jack, Marcus Banks
Utah Trades: Andrei Kirilenko, Ronnie Price, #9 pick
Toronto's Roster:
PG: Jose Calderon/Ronnie Price
SG: DeMar DeRozan/Marco Belinelli
SF: Andrei Kirilenko/Sonny Weems
PF: Reggie Evans
C: Andrea Bargnanni
+ #9 pick
+ #13 pick
+ Re-sign Amir Johnson
We remove our commitment to Hedo and get a large expiring contract in Kirilenko, who can also fill up the SF spot with defense until the end of the season. We also get Deron Williams' backup, who is a strong defensive point guard. Finally, we get the #9 pick to help us get younger and pick up some talent.
With two lottery picks we can go PG+Wing, Big+Wing, or Big+PG (I think those are the most likely combinations). Or you could combine a #9 + #13 and likely move in to take Minny's #4 pick, or trade #13 for OKC's two later first round picks. There are a lot of possibilities when you have two lottery picks!
Utah's Roster:
PG: Deron Williams/Jarret Jack/Marcus Banks
SG: CJ Miles
SF: Hedo Turkoglu
PF: Paul Milsap
C: Mehmet Okur/Kosta Koufos
+ re-sign Wesley Matthews
Utah gets another ball-handler on the roster in Hedo who has a tonne of playoff experience. They also get Jarret Jack, who had shown in Indiana the ability to play off the ball at the 2 guard spot. Marcus Banks' contract is thrown in to even out salaries, though it could just as easily be Reggie Evans.
