We all know the date is coming, March 15, 2012. I think there is going to be a big change in the NBA, superstars like Dwight Howard, Derron Williams, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, Luke Babbitt are going to get traded. I have made several different scenarios involving these players.
First Trade: http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=c5j9e7e
The LA Lakers get: DH12, Tukaglue
Orlando Gets: Bynum, Scola, Martin
Rockets Get: Gasol
Second Trade: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=83fl9me
With Howard going to the Lakers, the Nets will be forced to trade Williams
Blazers Get: Brooks, Okur
Nets Get: Wallace, Matthews, Lowry, Thabeet, Dragic, Patterson
Rockets Get: Williams
Why it works for the Rockets they will get a supper star PG to pair up with Gasol. And It gives them a championship run for years to come if Williams is willing to resign with them.
Rockets New Line up:
PG: Williams, Flynn
SG: Lee, Williams
SF: Budinger, Parsons
PF: Gasol, Moris
C: Hill, F/A
Why it works for the Blazers:
We will get a young Talented player in Brooks, and the expiring contract of Okur.
Then we can make moves like this one to build for the future, and win now.

Our new starting lineup:
PG. Beaubois, Smith
SG: Brooks, Williams
SF: Batum, Marion
PF: Aldridge,
C: Camby, Okur
If these trades happen our Roster contracts:
Aldridge- 13,000,000 Williams-1,442,880 Smith-1,404,960, Marion-8,646,364, Beaubois-2,227,332, Brooks-1,110,120, Batum 8-10 Million
Our combined total will be about 36 Million 41 if J-Crossover takes his player option. The hard cap will be 58 Million if I'm right. We will have room to sign one supper star, or two good players.
