LA needs a BIG in a bad way with Gasol down and out and they don't have much to trade with , We want to unload Bargnani but certainly don't need to take back Metta . We need Denver to opt in on a trade and will have to sweeten the pot with a few picks ( I think LA has a couple of 2nd round picks , and maybe another future).
Utah gets compensated with a quality player before the lose Milsap to FA.
Denver picks up some veteran players with some toughness , a cheap C , as well as picking up some picks.
Toronto gets their future PF as well as a quality C that can handle the ball and score and a back up PG who can disribute the ball and not hog the ball.
LA gets a PF who fits D'Antoni's system as well as a couple of pieces who can will in the SF position.

After the trade we look like
Lowry / Duhon / Lucas
DeRozan / Ross /
Gay / Fields / Pietrus
Milsap / Amir / Acy
Mozgov / JV / Gray / Haddadi
