As much as the Vasquez acquisition makes sense for Lowry to be next, i think getting Patterson spells the end of Amir/psycho t. He actually fits in really well.

Patterson brings a completely different dimension at PF with his ability to stretch the floor (.340 career 3pt). He was a lotto pick in 2010, is only 24, and has been getting better each season. He's a nice addition to the big man rotation now and into the future.
Vasquez was similarly a 2010 first round pick. He also has been improving each season. He's also a good 3pt shooter (.342 last year). He'll do a fine job filling in as the starter when Lowry is traded and he'll be a good option for backup PG in the future.
I expect Fields to start at SF tonight. Hopefully the trade results in more burn for Ross and not a ton of minutes for Salmons.

Good news kids:
Raps committed salaries for 2014-15 has dropped to about $52-$53M.
They can do qualifying offers to Patterson and Vasquez and hit the trade market with about $8M in cap space.
It is all about clearing the table for 2015-16.
