Pure Speculation:
Chris Paul and Jarret Jack to Portland
Joel Pryzbilla, Jerryd Bayless, Nicolas Batum, Hedo Torkuglu to New Orleans
Andre Miller and James Posey to Toronto.
Toronto upgrade at PG but downgrade at SF, still - they could be disappointed enough with Hedo to pull the trigger, the two players they get are expiring contracts. The Hornets could be disappointed to pay Hedo's contract, but they get a SWEET deal, if Batum and Hedo can play together (and I think they can), they have a dangerous team starting next year. The Blazers failed to get any of the three SFs on the deal and now have a big hole to fill and I'm not sure how they do it, but being able to say to a free-agent, "hey, would you like to play with Paul, Roy, LMA and Oden in the starting five?" is a good place to start, IMO.
