To San Antonio:
Batum, and Barbosa, Armon Johnson, Alibi
To Portland:
Ed Davis, James Johnson
To Raptors:
Richard Jefferson, Kawhi Leonard, Corey Joseph
Reasons why:
Spurs would like Jefferson off their books, but still stay competitive. Manu is injured and Barbosa can help in that scenario. This trade benefits them the most.
Portland needs some front court relief and Ed Davis can give them that. James Johnson is still a good back up SF for Portland.
Raptors have the cap to accept Jefferson's contract well receiving an awesome future SF in Kawhi, and a hometown project in Corey Joseph.
Raptors Starting Lineup:
Jonas/????
Bargs/Amir
Kawhi/Jefferson
DeMar/????/Forbes
Calderon/????/Joseph
We now can draft any position (Drummond,Anthony Davis,Lamb, Sullinger, Barnes, Beal). We also could Amnesty Kleiza for more cap room. Bayless, Magloire, Carter, Rasual, Gray all can go. Jefferson probably won't take his player option for 2012/13. Which would give us a tons of cap room in 2012/13 with Calderon coming off the books as well.
This year we can sign PG/Goran Dragic, Centre/ Jason Thompson, and whatever position we don't draft.
Possible line-ups:
Jonas/Thompson/Amir
Bargs/Amir/(Drummond, A.Davis or Sullinger)
Kawhi/Jefferson/(Barnes, MKG, Miller)
DeMar/Forbes/ (Lamb)
Calderon/Dragic/Joseph
I think this is a great team, possible contender in a couple years. I prefer to draft Lamb or any of the PFs. Doing this we could move DeMar or Bargs to the 6th man role because they can play both SG/SF (in DeMars case), or PF/C (in Bargs case)
Jonas/Bargs/Amir
Drummond, A.Davis or Sullinger/Bargs/Amir
Kawhi/Jefferson
DeMar/????/Forbes
Calderon/Dragic/Joseph
or
Jonas/Thompson/Amir
Bargs/Amir/????
Kawhi/DeMar/Jefferson
Lamb/DeMar/Forbes
Calderon/Dragic/Joseph
Pretty Good Rotations
