We need some bigs. Is there a big on every team we could trade for? Probably not. But here's a list anyway (with my idea of what would be a fair deal for each one) that includes almost every team in the NBA. Remember, we don't have much to offer except for three or four expendable players, future picks and money, in the form of us taking on bad contracts and absorbing dollars for the team we're trading with to lighten their cap load. So most of these trades will be aimed at saving the other team money. If it doesn't seem fair, I suggest you go check out how much money we'd be saving each team instantly, and over the course of the next few years, before you judge. I'm not going to explain every one, because that would take forever.
