ORL would not lose starting PF as he slides to 3 which much better suits his game. West is a mid-range post player who is an all-star - he would fit beautifully next to Howard. Reports were Howard was pushing to acquire Boozer earlier this summer. Carter is shit - I'm sorry no other way to say it. Check his stats from last year, especially shooting percentages. He is past his peak and even at his peak he was not a 'winner' (and that is not a jaded Raptor fan talking). Songalia is a decent back up PF and with their players they could go small at stretches and put Lewis back at the 4. As for back up C, Gortat is not happy being Howard, that is nothing new. The key to their back up C would be Dampier.
I know this is extremely unlikely with so many parts - just playing with the machine and thinking what teams would need to improve both on the court and financially.
As for your trade, ORL still loses their back up C unless they manage to get Dampier when CHA eventually drops him, Hamilton is not a great 3 point threat which is what Orlando needs on perimeter, Prince works and is expiring so that also works. Really Detroit is giving up Hamilton and Prince for Jose and Bass. I'd rather have Gordon or Hamilton starting ahead of Carter at this stage of his career. I don't think Detroit gets enough for these guys in the trade.
