Michael Redd and Charlie Villanueva have been rumored as being on the trade market. The Utah Jazz can be a destination for these two. A possible trade would be Milwaukee trading Redd, Villanueva, and Storey for Kirilenko, Jason Collins, and Morris Almond.

The Bucks get a defender in Kirilenko and a future talent in Morris Almond. The Jazz get a versatile forward in Villanueva, who really is underrated, and a shooter in Redd, which will work well in the Jazz's system.

The Bulls are sitting there with the No. 1 pick. They are expected to take Rose, the hometown kid, which means Hinrich is on his way out.

The Kings would be a good fit for Hinrich. A possible trade would be Hinrich for Brad Miller, and cash. The Bulls would get a center they badly need and the Kings would get Hawes in the starting lineup with a legit starting PG.

That would put the Heat in a situation for a trade since they have shown they do not need Beasley. If Marion stays with Haslem, the Bulls would have two forwards that will help them build for the future. A center is what they need. Riley has always won with centers.

A trade with Memphis would work. They could swap picks with the Heat while giving up point guard in Javaris Crittenton. In the games he played for the Lakers and the Grizzlies last season he looked really impressive. He would work with the Heat.

In the draft, the Grizzlies can get their forward in Beasley, and the Heat could get project, DeAndre Jordan, who has the potential to be a Dwight Howard.

There are many opportunities in the offseason to get a team from the lottery to the Finals. Or even from just the brink of being a contender to over the hump.

Above I have listed some ideas where free agents should land or what teams should do in the trading market to get their teams into this contention.
