TOR Receives: Danny Granger, Dahntay Jones, #15 pick
IND Receives: Andrea Bargnani, Linas Kleiza, #5 pick, Trade Exception for Jones ($2.5M)

Toronto receives a proven scorer in Danny Granger and a defensive shooting guard in Jones. They drop to the 15th pick of the draft where, according to NBADraft.net, players like Kemba Walker, Bismack Biyombo, and Jordan Hamilton are available.


PG: Calderon/Bayless
SG: DeRozan/D. Jones
SF: Granger/J. Johnson
PF: A. Johnson/Davis
C: Alabi

The Raptors are left with a hole at centre which they can fill with the #15 pick (Biyombo, Vucevic) or perhaps through trade (e.g. picking a PG at #15 and trading Bayless).

Indiana opens up space for their youth movement, gaining our #5 lottery pick and opening up minutes for Paul George. Bargnani helps open up space for Hibbert on the inside and should play better with him defensively since Roy is more of a rim protector (1.8 bpg)

PG: Collison/Price
SG: Rush/Stephenson
SF: George/Posey/Kleiza
PF: Bargnani/Hansbrough
C: Hibbert

Potential players at the #5 include Brandon Knight, Enes Kanter, and Jonas Valanciunas. Or maybe they reach for Klay Thompson.
