Big 3 team deal sees Toronto begin their fire sale


SUCCESS

I think we are all in agreement that Toronto is going to be the team to fire sale this year. Whether most of that comes at the deadline or some waits until the offseason remains to be seen, but I think they will at least move a couple of their guys by Thursday if possible. So lets look at what a deal could possibly look like for OG and why each team might do it:

Toronto: The Raptors would almost certainly prefer to move OG before the deadline when they can get something for him in return as it seems they do not want to pay him in the future. Trent Jr. is another name they are looking to move as well to add additional assets in the form of young players or picks. In return they are getting multiple young players under contract control. PJ Washington who they could resign and Rozier to make the contract situations work. The biggest prize of the trade will of course be the plethora of first round picks that they are seeking in return for OG in particular.

Charlotte: The Hornets get two young players to revamp this roster, both of who are defensive minded wings with real potential offensively as well. Two things this team really needs right now. I think they are looking to add talent around LaMelo but also shake things up a bit and hopefully recapture some of the promise and excitement from the last couple of years. They also pick up a bit of draft capital to help soften the blow of the picks they would absolutely have to send for OG to be included in a deal like this.

Denver: Denver swoops in here as a team that helps make the salary situation work for Toronto and Charlotte. They are able to take on Plumlee's money via a trade exception and also add Mcdaniels, a talented young wing. They are very motivated to move Bones and I think Toronto would make a lot of sense as a landing spot for him; acting as a sweetener for Toronto to move both OG and Trent Jr. They would address the backup center position and add a bench wing defender, the two things Denver wants most at the deadline.
