Why Raptors: The prize of the trade is to land an allstar caliber player in Rudy Gay (Olympian), Gay is a huge upgrade for us at the 3 spot. DeRozan, Ross, and Fields are natural 2 so adding Gay will make us better, with DeRozan gone, it's either Ross or Fields battle for the starting 2 spot, i give my hunch for Fields because of his veteran play. Wilson Chandler is a nice addition for us who will be a terrific backup for Gay until his contract expires. We have basically solved our 2 and 3 position with backups as well. Selby played great in summer league and is an instant upgrade over Calderon, he will be a good backup behind Lowry. Bargs will sure be missed but with the emerging play of E.Davis in summer league, we have to do whatever we can to keep him unless he bolt for a playoff team. Mozgov is gonna battle Val for the starting C position, my take is either the two will be an upgrade over Aaron Gray. Now, we can compete with the emerging teams like Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers
Why Grizzlies: The Grizzlies lose Rudy Gay but in return they get two uprising shining star in both DeRozan and Farried. DeRozan is an instant upgrade over T.Allen and Farried can play both the 3 and the backup 4 position behind Randolph. By getting rid of the cancerous G.Arenas, they get an equal cancerous A.Miller (expiring though) who could start for the team or backing up J.Bayless. Amir is gonna be a good backup behind M.Gasol, who the Grizzlies are trying hard to find a backup C this summer.
Why Nuggets: Their latest addition of A.Igoudala have made the team that much better but with both Chandler and Galinari battle for the 3 spot, why not upgrade at the 4 spot. Loosing Chandler but acquiring A.Bargnani is a huge upgrade for them at the 4 spot so he can reunite with fellow teammate Galinari, of course, that means K.Faried is gone too but with the nice addition of M.Conley, a great starter but seemingly a backup behind Lawsons is not that bad. Arenas can sparkplug some points as a 6th man.
