Week Before Deadline Trade Machine Fun

Throwing a couple 3 Teamers out there. If you like em, we can run with it. If you don't throw it right back.

CHI receives Eric Gordon
NOP receive Caron Butler's expiring contract, ZaZa Pachulia, Jimmy Butler
MIL receives Carlos Boozer
Why it works: Bucks offload 2 players that don't fit, Caron's just an expiring who fricks off after this season and ZaZa is stuck behind the two talented youngsters Henson and Sanders. Zaza fills Pels C void, Jimmy Butler gives perimeter defense to Pels, while EG replaces JB in Chicago and gives them a guard who can actually score. Bucks add an experienced PF to frontcourt, major upgrade over Khris Middleton and the ever-injured Ekpe Udoh.

NOP receive Javale McGee, Andre Miller, Jordan Hamilton
DEN receives Eric Gordon, Jared Dudley
LAC receive Al Farouq Aminu
Why it works: Denver gives up McGee bc he's out for season and trying to make a playoff push in Shaw's first season to prove firing Karl was right move. Denver also offloads Miller who's not even with the team right now after his "dismissal" so they get out of that sticky situation, and for their troubles the Pels get PT Wish List prospect Hamilton as a sign of good faith. Pels shore up C position for next season w/ McGee, and SF w/ Hamilton (maybe just a backup, who knows). Miller either gives Pels a savvy veteran backup PG or they buy him out nbd. LAC gives up Dudley as he's fallen out of favor w/ Clips. Btwn Dudley, Crawford, and Redick the perimeter defense lacks and Dudley is the odd man out in that scenario. Aminu gives LAC a long defender to stifle opposing SFs and bolster their front court/play emergency PF if Blake Griffin gets in foul trouble. DEN snags a solid SG + SF combo whos skill sets blend nicely into team, esp. given Gallinari's uncertain condition. Lawson-Gordon-Dudley/Chandler-Faried/Hickson-Arthur/Mosgov is a solid top 8 capable of making that 8 seed.
