Finally a thread about possible trades in this dead season :-)
I see the following options at this moment:
1. Best (realistic) I see: Brunson or Jackson (plus second rounders) for Bamba. Orlando doesn't need him and doesn't have minutes for him. They need PG and wings. Plenty of cheap back up PG should be available to replace Brunson. Love the kid and would much rather see Jackson go if necessary.
2. DFS or Jackson for Dunn. Chicago needs wings and definitely doesn't need Dunn. Bad thing is we don't need PG. So I only see it as possible if number 1 happens
3. Lee for bad contracts. Not many bad contracts are left at this point. Felicio or Dieng are really bad contracts but their owners are somewhat rebuilding so I don't see them coughing up picks to get rid of these contracts. Perhaps at TDL if they have a promising season. Miami has plenty of 2 year overpaid players (Olynik, Johnson, Waiters). However, I don't see getting more than a second rounder from them in a Lee trade. Olynik might be useful as we are somewhat weak at C/PF. Any trade of these kind would probably have to wait till TDL.
4. Lee for a one year contract (Iguodala or Williams from Charlotte were mentioned). Not really a fan as it would require assets and would really make us only slightly better.
5. Trade exception. A couple of teams will want to get out of tax (Detroit, Miami, Orlando, OKC) so we might turn it into a bad player and draft considerations. At TDL
