I think we'd be wasting a bunch of value to upgrade from average to more distinctly average.



The one hypothetical trade was giving up just Lopez to get Bledsoe, + having to take back Butler. He's overpaid ($8m), but only for one year, plus he's not a bad player (good article here on his value). So Lopez + take on an added $5m in cap space, but we'd still have Vasquez as a trade piece. That would give us something like $10m in cap space, possibly Vasquez, and the draft pick to do what we can to get a C that can play 20-25 minutes per game and a starting SF (or roll with Butler there for a year).

If you're talking about the Denver trade the Hornets give up a lottery protected 1st, which probably means a late teen 2015 1st. Definitely the best deal, but still more than just Lopez.
