Trade 1:
-- Raptors get: Andre Igudola and Festus Ezeli

-- Warriors get: OJ Mayo and Zaza Pachulia

-- Bucks get: David Lee, Terrance Ross, and 30th pick

REASON :
Raptors- Add starting SF. They seem to be missing that 3D starting caliber SF. Iggy fits in well.

Warriors - Save money by adding cheaper bench players. Throw max and stay under tax to sign Green.

Bucks- Takes on a big contract for a late 1st. Lee adds that low post presence with moves that they're missing. Ross fills OJ shoes as 6th man plus his rights.

Trade 2:
-- Bucks get: SnT Deandre Jordan

-- Clippers get: SnT Khris Middleton, Miles Plumlee, and Brandon Jennings

-- Pistons get: Irsan Illysova, Matt Barnes, and 46th pick

REASON:
Bucks: add length and defensive center they are missing. DJ is a top 5 center and the best D big and most athletic. He fits the skeme and young team going forward.

Clippers- They add and fill the holes needed. Middleton is a young 3D guy. Jennings brings scoring off the bench as a combo guard and fills Crawford shoes. Plumlee brings the shot blocking and defense that DJ brought just not as effective. An overall upgrade as a starting 5 though.

Pistons- They bring in a legit stretch 4 who fits the style of play SVG runs.


Trade 3:
-- Raptors get: Taj Gibson and Kirk Hinrich

-- Bulls get: Grevis Vasquez, James Johnson, 20th pick, and future 1st

REASON:
Bulls- They add expiring contracts and production off the bench. They also add a 2nd 1st round draft pick. Maybe trade both to move up and select Stanley Johnson or Kelly Oubre if they fall outside top 10.

Raptors- they build that starting 5 even strong. They now have a complete strong veteran starting 5. Vasquez said they need trash talking players. Iggy and Taj are both tough players who are not afraid to wrestle.

Absolutely terrible for the Warriors. I'm all for dumping Lee because he steals Mo Buckets/McAdoo minutes, but we don't NEED to dump him to resign Green for the max. Oh and then throw in Iguodala, a first round pick, and Ezeli, who is starting to really show flashes of future starting potential? Terrible.

If the Clippers are letting Deandre Jordan go to the Bucks in a S&T they will want Giannis + filler (Mayo, Zaza, Ersan) in return. Otherwise the will just pay Deandre.
