Nets, they traded away alot for pp and kg they want to win now, this trade gives them the best shot to compete this year. They are winning playing small ball they can continue to do this with afflalo at the 2 and vucevic playing big min off the bench or afflalo becomes an elite 6th man.

Magic, get a great young center who is our the season, the loss in talent this season locks them up the bottom 3. Lopez, Olidipo and Parker or wiggins is a great young core not to mention Harris ,harkless and nickolson.

Cs lose out with nets getting alot better and magic become super tank team.
Mavs
Wiz
Hornet

I think the Nets pass only because KG at center has been working well for them

not horrible.  Helps the Nets immensely!  They could really carve out their place as #3 seed this season.  Come playoff time I don't think the Pacers or Heat would be looking forward to playing that Nets team.   

For the Magic they get worse...pretty much solidify a Top 5 pick.  but why would they move their young big man?  And it's not like Arron Afflalo is old.  These are very talented young players Orlando is giving up.  they would prefer to give up Davis and Nelson.  But of course the Nets aren't biting on that. 

and then there's the whole injury concern with Brook Lopez.  This is the 2nd time he's had a major injury.  he's 25.  A big man with bad feet is a very, very bad combination.

If I'm Orlando I say "NO WAY".  I'd rather keep what I have and pass on Lopez. 

for Brooklyn...they are playing this right.  Lopez is a big chip if they can convince a team that his health isn't a major issue.  He's a 25 year old All-Star Center that's under contract.  But I don't think Orlando is the trade partner.

Maybe Lopez for Gasol?  If the Lakers feel like Lopez can get healthy....Or Lopez to New Orleans for Eric Gordon and Jason Smith. 

IDK.  Interesting post though
