Was thinking about some moves that could realistically be made to shore up some of our weaknesses while working within a framework similar to what I think Masia's is/should be (maintaining financial flexibility and retaining players who should be here long term):
3 way trade:
Toronto receives: R. Sessions and E. Udoh
Charlotte receives: T. Hansborough
Milwaukee receives: 2nd rounder, Buycks, Daye and Stone
While we give up Psycho T, we gain a capable defensive center who's mobile enough to play spot minutes at the 4. As it stands right now, we basically have 1 center and 4 power forwards up front, and that's just not going to cut it in the east. For the Bucks, the get something in return for a player whod be leaving this summer anyways. Plus, they get another draft pick and 2nd rounders seem to be their favorite. They also receive Byucks, Daye and Stone as a sweeteners as they're in better position to take a chance on developing one of them then we are. And, if they suck there too, they'll just help the Bucks tank.
As for Charlotte, they're looking to unload Sessions' expiring contract and need help up front. Enter Psycho T, who could come in and probably start for them, as they're especially weak at the 4 spot. While it sucks to move Hansbrough, he's behind 2Pat and Amir at the 4, and doesn't give you all that much more than Hayes, and unfortunately, no one is taking Hayes off our hands.
With these trades, we add some depth at our weak spots (PG/C) but don't take on any salaries that go beyond this summer. Btw, I realize this trade doesn't work on the trade machine, but it doesn't let you use trade exceptions or draft picks.
