CLE-ATL-PHX-DEN

Cavs-
GET: Schroder, Bazemore, Faried, 2018 1st (HOU, 4-30), 2021 1st (MIA)
LOSE: Irving, Shumpert, JR

Hawks-
GET: Irving, Smith, Dudley
LOSE: Schroder, Bazemore, Prince, 2019 1st (CLE), 2018 1st (HOU)

Suns-
GET: Shumpert, Mudiay, Barton, Prince, 2019 1st (CLE, 11-30)
LOSE: Bledsoe, Dudley, 2021 1st (MIA)

Nuggets-
GET: Bledsoe
LOSE: Faried, Mudiay, Barton

Cavs get a good young PG (Schroder), a very good wing defender (Bazemore) a very solid backup big man (Faried), and a couple of firsts. They can compete this year, plus will have their PG of the future and a couple draft picks

Hawks have several 1st's in future years, so why not use a few to get a top 20 player, who's just 25, to start the rebuild (something the Celtics should've done, but never did)? They save a few million a year by taking on JR for Bazemore. Taking on Dudley gives them a stretch small ball 4.

Suns get a potential PG of the future in Mudiay, who could be a great fit alongside Booker, while dumping Dudley's contract. Adding Shumpert and Barton gives them guard depth that they needed and Prince can be a solid 3 and D SF if they go small with Jackson at the 4.

Denver uses a couple of their young pieces and Faried, who's become expendable with the addition of Millsap, to get a very good PG in Bledsoe.

Bottom line:
Hawks add young star to jumpstart their rebuild
Cavs get good young player & picks while being able to compete
Suns get a few young players and go all in on youth
Nuggets get a very good PG in exchange for expendable depth

Awful.

If Hawks are getting Irving in a trade including both Nuggets and Suns something is wrong. Hawks may have a shot if they offer Schroeder, Prince and a first for Irving but I doubt two of the teams who are also in the Irving sweepstakes would help another team get him for less than they could easily (and should be willing to) give up.

I agree that the Hawks could've offered just Schroder, Prince and a couple first's for Irving, but I don't think that trade helps the cavs really compete this year against boston. So knowing they want Faried, I wanted him in the deal as well. And since Denver wants a PG, I put Bledsoe (therefore Phoenix) in the deal too. Majority of teams want Irving, so almost any three team deal for Irving will include a team that wants Irving, but won't get him.

My basic point is that I think Suns and Nuggets will make more attractive offers to Cavs for Irving therefore I don't understand why they'd help another team get him for less than I think Nuggets and Suns themselves would be willing to give up.

So phoenix passes on mudiay and a first rounder at the draft, but takes some scrubs and muiday along with extra salary?

They don't take extra salary cause they're trading Dudley, so Shump's salary is only a couple hundred thousand extra. Prince is only going into his 2nd year and Mudiay his 3rd. Barton averaged 14, 4, and 3 in 28mpg shooting 44%fg and 37%three. So I'm confused who the "scrubs" are that Phoenix is getting.
