Clippers Trade - Chauncey Billups, Caron Butler, Deandre Jordan, Mo Williams, Eric Bledsoe, Randy Foye, Ryan Gomes, 2012 1st Round Pick, 2013 1st Round Pick

Magic Trade - Chris Duhon, Hedo Turkoglu, Earl Clark, Quentin Richardson, JJ Redick, Dwight Howard

After that I signed JR Smith with the Clippers, so my starting 5 is:
PG - Chris Paul
SG - JR Smith
SF - Hedo Turkoglu
PF - Blake Griffin
C - Dwight Howard

The Magic's starting 5 is now:
PG - Jameer Nelson
SG - Chauncey Billups
SF - Caron Butler
PF - Glen Davis
C - Deandre Jordan
Sixth Man - Jason Richardson
Honorable Mention - Mo Williams

The Clippers lose a lot of depth, but they gain Dwight Howard. Enough said.
The Magic lose Dwight Howard, but a gain a lot of depth, draft picks, and are set to still be playoff contenders now, as well as serious contenders in the long term. I also took a few bad contracts off their hands, while giving them a few expiring contracts.

All in all, I think everybody wins here.
That's terrible trade for the Magic. They would be luck to win 25 games
