     All these trades and free agent aquisitions that seems realistic in my own opionion. You guys can comment about what you think about it and what trades you see reasoable that can change the landscape of the NBA. P.S. Some trades didn’t work on the ESPN Draft Machine so I did the trades anyway and made it centered around some players even though salary wise it doesn’t fit.

    Denver Nuggets Trade Ty Lawson to Houston for Houston 2015 first round pick (18) Terrance Jones or Donatas Motiejunas – This trade make sence for both parties. Denver would like to rebuild and take as many assests it can and Houston needs another creator for their team. Houston will be instant championship contenders. I felt like they weren’t really contenders this year, even though they went to the Western Conferense Championships. I didn’t watch alot of the Rockets games but the games I watched the offense was James Harden " Help Me "  offense, James Harden ISO or James Harden PnR. Houston need another ball handler and Ty Lawson looks like he’s on the market. Ty Lawson is a perfect fit for Houston and he can relieve James Harden. A lineup of Ty Lawson, James Harden, Trevor Ariza, Donatas Motiejunas/Terrance Jones, and Dwight Howard looks deadly.

    Kevin Love opt out of deal with Cleveland and signs with the Washington Wizards – This might seem far fetch to some, but it make perfect sence. Kevin Love would like to contend for championships, still be a top player in this league, and be a top option. In Washinton he can be the number one option while not being the best player on the team. Randy Wittman run a similar system to the system Kevin Love thrive in in Minnesota. A John Wall/Kevin Love PnR/PnP would be deadly. The Wizards would be contending for championships and he would be back to putting up monster stats in Washington,

    LaMarcus Aldridge signs with the San Antonio Spurs – This move would make the Spurs the instant favorite to win it all next year. A lineup of Tony Parker, Danny Green (resign), Kawhi Leonard, LaMarcus Aldridge, and Tim Duncan will be the best starting linup in the league, outsing the Miami Heat lineup. LaMarcus will automatically will be contending for a title and part of the torch will be handed to him to be the face of the Spurs when Tim Duncan retires. 

    DeMarre Carroll and Tyson Chandler signs with the New Orleans Pelicans – This move will move them over the hump. Last year the Pelicans was missing a 3 and d wing and a center that can do something on the offensive end. DeMarre Carroll is one of the best 3 and D wings and Tyson Chandler can finish at the rim. With Alvin Gentry running the offense and Darren Erman running the defense makes this team look intriuging. A line up of Jrue Holliday, Eric Gordon, DeMarre Carroll, Anthony Davis, and Tyson Chandler as your starting five and Tyreke Evans and Ryan Anderson as the 6th and 7th man looks phenomenal on paper. 

    Denver Nuggets trade Kenneth Faried to the Toronto Raptors for Terrance Ross – Denver is looking to clean house and Kenneth Faried is one of the main players that Denver trying to get rid of. Two teams that make perfect sence for Kenneth Faried is Toronto and Sacromento. Toronto seems like the most reasonable place. They have a huge void at the 4 spot and they struggle rebounding. Kenneth Faried is the best energy guy in the league and will get you boatloads of rebounds. This isn’t a WOW trade, but this can be huge for Toronto,

    Brook Lopez sign with the Milwaukee Bucks – The Bucks are eating well now. They got their new uniforms, it looks like they might keep their team in Milwaukee, they played well in the postseason without Jabari Parker, they got a good young head coach in Jason Kidd, and they have the best young core in the league (in my opinion) in Jabari Parker, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton (restricted FA), and Michael Carter-Williams. The only missing piece they are missing is a center and Brook Lopez seem like a logical fit in Milwaukee. Him and Jason Kidd have history together and the Bucks need a center. Brook Lopez will not be a defensive liability as most think, the Bucks have a top 5 defense and that’s mostly due to their perimeter defense.

     But Love is staying at Cleveland,at least that’s what he said,being injured goes that way too.

     

     I feel like the Nuggets and the Kings will make some moves,and the enigma of Knicks plans also.

    If the Spurs sign Lamarcus and keep Leonard as well which is likely, they will not be able to resign Green who is rumored to want 13-15 million a year and he is not worth that much. Plus they would lose depth such as Splitter, Bellineli and Cory Joseph . So they would have to compensate and sign some other players for cheap and we always know they end up drafting player that fits their system, either a wing player or center.

     As much as I’d love to see Love go to Washington, they don’t have like any cap room whatsoever. Taking the option for next season with Cleveland and becoming a UFA next summer seems more realistic than him going anywhere this summer, especially on the heels of an injury. 

    Also, PF Amir Johnson was arguably the most important player on the Raptors roster in terms of advanced statistics. So I can’t really see them going after an undersized power forward who struggled this last season. 

    Good ideas though, the Houston-Denver trade seems to make a lot of sense. I also think LMA to San Antonio is a real possibility.

       Take away the cap space. I’m going off of if they can create some space by trading some players to create the space
