To Utah:
Ramon Sessions, Landry Fields, Blazers 1st Rd pick from CHA (top 12 protected this year and till 2016)
To Charlotte :
Bargs, Alex Burgs, Alan Anderson
To Toronto:
Paul Millsap, and Ben Gordon

Reasoning:
Utah has a glut at PF/C they receive a good PG, a SF that plays their style of ball (Landry will improve next year), and a draft pick. I think that is a pretty good haul for a guy that might be gone next year.
Charlotte is the one that kinda gives up a lot in this deal, they get rid of Gordon and receive a player they have inquired about. Kemba is their PG of the future, they recieve some scoring with Bargs. They receive a young prospect in Alec and a cagey vet in Alan Anderson. Not a fan of the trade for this team. They really aren't giving up any core pieces though.
Toronto:
Well, we get Millsap, but have to take on Gordon's salary at a position we don't need. His contract might be valuable next year because it is expiring. Perhaps he can be moved in the off season... who knows. The Raps still get stronger, but we lose a little depth at SF
Jonas/Gray/Amir
Millsap/Amir/Acy
Gay/Ross/Gordon
DeMar/Ross/Gordon
Lowry/Lucas
If we can amnesty Klieza we can possibly stay out of the tax. We can use the mid-level to sign a back up pg and sign the remaining positions to veteran minimums. Possibly buy a 2nd round draft pick to draft Kabongo (if he drops)
Another option is to trade Gordon to Minnesota for Ridnour and Roy (who would then be waived, I believe he has a non guaranteed contract)
