Trade Drawer time! Predictions for the trade deadline?

Well, I became slightly bored and started messing around with the trade machine. But, I also did not see a trade drawer on the front, so that means it is time! Anybody have some predictions for who we will go after? I knowTyreke EvansandMarcin Gortathave come up. I tried to workout something for Tyreke, but I could not come up with anything! So Gortat it was:

Portland Trailblazersget:

Marcin Gortat

Alec Burks

Phoenix Sunsget:

Wesley Matthews

Joel Freeland

Kevin Murphy

Utah Jazzget:

Kendall Marshall

Elliot Williams

I decided to add the Jazz in, as we needed somebody to fill the SG spot as Wes is gone and adding Burks in seemed like the easiest way to do that without giving up too much. The suns get a quality shooting guard (which they need badly) who has a very similar PER to Gortat, plus two prospects. The Jazz get rid of Burks, but receive a nice prospect in Marshall and a player with a ton of potential that has been hounded by injuries.

I would then sign Tyreke in the off season, and let Olshey decide the rest of the bench, but our core looking like this:

PG: Lillard

SG: Evans, Burks, Barton

SF: Batum, Claver

PF: LA, Hickson

C: Gortat, Leonard

I put Claver down with high hopes that he does pan out.

What does everybody think? Too little for suns? A good trade? Let me know and share your stuff!
