So I had this in my head:
Denver trades Kenneth Faried and JaVale McGee.
Toronto trades Tyler Hansborough and Landry Fields + Toronto's 2015 first-rounder (We keep the Denver/NY pick) + Salmons trade exception.
Success!

Okay so it's a bit of a homer idea but hear me out. Denver has a glut of PF/C guys and they're going nowhere so there's rumours they might want to blow things up (plus Nurkic is good). Faried isn't gelling well with the coach and just signed an extension, McGee is a head case and can't stay healthy so is a risk. But despite the fact that he's crazy he is tall and he does block shots.
We'd be doing them a favour by taking some big contracts off their books and helping them accelerate rebuild. We give them a 1st round pick (ours) to sweeten things. We turn the dead weight on our roster to actually producing parts and get a shot-blocker (albeit an injury-prone crazy one). McGee is the price of getting Faried who I think a lot of people like as a rebounding energy guy, though he does have issues running sets which would probably put him in Casey's doghouse too.
