My favorite trade which probably won't happen is still THJ, Green, and #26 to Orlando for WCJ and Terrence Ross.
Orlando is likely to draft a big man with #3, and with them already having Bamba, WCJ, and Isaac, someone's gotta go. They were also one of the worst 3PT shooting teams last year. So I think THJ, who has a history of being a good volume shooter, as well as a great team culture guy, could appeal to a team trying to finally make the playoffs again. And Terrence Ross has made it known he wants out. I think they most likely trade Bamba, which is why this won't happen. But if they decide Bamba is more valuable going forward, because of his shooting and shot-blocking, and they can re-sign him on a reasonable deal, THJ could have some appeal to them. This also saves them a few million dollars in cap space, so they could re-sign Bamba and still have plenty of cap space to go after a PG (maybe make a trade for Sexton?)
