ATL Trades: Josh Smith
ATL Gets: Vince Carter (Expiring Contract), Robin Lopez, Jared Dudley (If needed Suns add 13th/20th pick)

Why the do it?
Simply put Atlanta wants to trade Jsmooth. Lopez lost most of his value, however could get their front line depth. Jared Dudley is a strong 6th man option for them. Plus get they get cap space.

MIN Trades: Michael Beasley, Johnny Flynn, #2 Pick, #20 Pick
MIN Gets: Steve Nash, Andres Bargaini, Mickael Pietrus

Why the do it?
They get their Rubio Mentor in Nash while opening up space at the PG position by trading Flynn. Rumor has it Beasley is an odd man out there allowing them to aquire Bargaini to put next to Kevin Love.

TOR Trades: Andres Bargaini, Jose Calderon
TOR Gets: Michael Beasley, Johnny Flynn

Why they do it?
It's known Toronto wants a PG and Flynn is that. Given the playing time in Toronto would allow him to truly show his potential. Toronto wants to send Bargaini packing and unloading Calderon's overpaid contract is a bonus.

PHX Trades: Steve Nash, Robin Lopez, Jared Dudley, Vince Carter, Mickael Pietrus
PHX Gets: Josh Smith, Jose Calderon, #2 Pick (MIN), #20 Pick (MIN)

And now most importantly why does Phoenix do this?

Rebuild, rebuild, rebuild. Yeah, maybe it's not the best draft class to rebuild on, but it's a start. Draft Williams with the #2 pick, Jimmer with the #13 and Faried with the #20.

This leaves us with:
Calderon/Brooks
Hill/Jimmer
Williams/Childress
Smith/Warrick/Faried
Gortat/Frye

Our back courts our weak point. Our front court is the strength. With Williams, Smith, Gorat up front convinving a free agent like Chris Paul shouldn't be impossible.

Pipe dream... yes.
