Lakers-Magic-Nuggets Bombshell (21 Player Trade Idea)

[Michael Anthony]

ORL Sends - Howard, Richardson, Turkoglu, Redick, Bass, Clark, Anderson, Orton
ORL Gets - Gasol, Odom, Artest, Walton, Smith, Harrington, Birdman, Afflalo

LAL Sends - Gasol, Bynum, Odom, Artest, Walton, Blake, Brown, Picks
LAL Gets - Howard, Turkoglu, Anderson, Anthony, Billups

Den Sends - Anthony, Billups, Smith, Harrington, Birdman, Afflalo
Den Gets - Bynum, Blake, Brown, Richardson, Redick, Bass, Clark, Orton

Lakers end with the best starting five in basketball, Orlando gets awesome compensation for Howard (assuming he is leaving anyway), and Denver instantly rebuilds.

Your imagination is off the charts

Don't like it for Denver

Why does Orlando hate it's fans so much? 




They are not trading Howard unless they get both Gasol and Melo. 

[Donoghus]

TPs just for putting something like that together.

Impressive.

Thanks for the TP, took as while to put it together - works on RealGM Trade checker (hence all the small moving parts).

I think all three teams benefit here.

Afflalo-Artest-Odom-Gasol with Smith-Harrington-Birdman is better than Richardson-Turkoglu-Anderson-Howard with Redick-Bass-Clark.

Billups-Kobe-Melo-Anderson-Howard is silly good. They lack front court depth, but will clean up when players get released.

Denver is one and done in the playoffs. They dump Harrington and Birdman, and rebuild around a pretty solid nucleus of Lawson-Redick-Forbes-Bass-Bynum with Blake-Brown-Clark and about $16 million in cap space.
