Some very bad trade ideas that really should happen...do they?...I tried to keep it as simple as possible, not putting in like 20 players and 5 draft picks.
Plz give me your thoughts!

why LA does it: They know Blake isn't the guy that wins you a Championship. More so CP3 will know it when it comes down to signing a new deal. Getting D12 is the surest way of keeping CP3. Even though the Clippers are not on Howards list, its not like they dont have a great chance keeping the duo(with CP3+the beach).
They basically melt together Blake+Jordans game in one player and also get rid of the final year of Gomes' contract which should make Sterling smile.
why ORL does it: One more year of this BS? No! His ass needs to go away as soon as possible. But for who? Blake is just perfect, as he is the guy that wins over fans quickly, sells tickets and will make the D12 era go away. Jordan+Blake+Anderson is a great frontcourt (defensive anchor+offensivegotoguy+stretch4) to build around and possibly lure over a nice backcourt-FA in one or two years.

why SAC does it: Now is the time to trade Evans. His stock is falling but right now its not like everybody believes he is a complete bust. It's more like: "Hey, this dude is in the wrong situation...He needs to play more wing and needs to be around some good teammates". Getting Favours gives them one of the best young frontcourts in the NBA. Cousins+Favours suit each other very well (Cousins as the offensive guy while Favours is an agile big, that can protect the rim well enought to play the 5). This also may free up some playingtime for Thomas and Fredette (I'm not a big believer, but who knows). Trading small for a proven big isnt a mistake a lot of times.
why UTA does it: Having bigs is great, but its time to play Kanter! Against the Spurs it was obvious, that they need some more punch from the outside. Now your teaming up a nice frontcourt in Jefferson+Millsap+Kanter with a nice backcourt in Harris+Evans+Hayward+Burks. Corbin is just the guy to make Evans the player many believed he coult be! Because they are trading big for small, Sactown may also throw in a future Draftpick or the right to swap picks next year.
next one just in case MIA isn't winning it all and blows it up...

why MIA does it: Bosh is still a premiere player but he just doesn't fit as he isn't the back-to-the-basket player or rim protector they would need to complement their superstar wings. Scola (post) and Daly (rim protector) are just giving them that. They also have to take into account, that the CBA has changed, making their team really....REALLY....expensive in 2-3 years. Some more flexibility should help in that regard.
why HOU does it: Trading two good players for an All-Star doesn't seem to be a mistake does it? And while Bosh more and more looks like a player, that won't get you very far as the 1st or 2nd option, they are suckers for him. Maybe McHale can teach him some stuff, maybe the fans will love to have a Texan as their main guy. Maybe the duo of Lowry and Bsoh just works perfectly. Maybe! Yeah, but its worth a shot!
