Strange deal in a way. Portland gives up a lot of future with two young promising players and 1st rounder, but Fournier and Gordon are good, solid players on contracts that are close to about market value. Gordon's actually goes down to about $16.5M in its final year. ORL would have 3 centers on their roster, so short term it wouldn't help them, but maybe they flip Whiteside for more draft capital. Does ORL want to blow it up and startover? How good is Simons going to be? Would a change in scenery help Gordon reach more of his potential? Tough questions.

I can't see Minn giving up Towns just yet. GS does this in a heartbeat. D Green's fit in Portland I question. I like his toughness and D, but his inability to shoot the ball wouldn't work as Portland presently works.

This isn't crazy. Whiteside and Drummond are kind of the same player, so DET gets 2nd rounder for Drummond essentially. With his contract that may be the best they can do. Portland is planning for next year, so Powell and 2nd rounder would be nice. Not sure they could get that pick and Powell though. For Dallas it may be worth trying to a traditinal center to see how that works with Luka and Kristaps.

Bad deal for Portland. I don't like anything on their side. Drummond is the same player as Whiteside. SAC and DET probably would do this.

This seems plausible. If I were Portland I would try to leave out Little/ Napier portion. Minn may not want Whiteside, so you may need a 3rd team like ATL for Whiteside. Have them send Crabbe or ETurner and Len to Minnesota, plus something like 2nd rounder. Minn gets another pick and cap relieve. ATL can see if Whiteside fits alongside their young core to see if they want to try to sign him for longer. ATL needs to show TYoung they are trying to improve. So, trying to see if Whiteside works for a 2nd rounder is likley worth it.
