I wanted to put together a piece about 20 (or so) trades that needed to happen but I've been too busy and I also keep altering the deals. Because of this, I'm just going to switch it up and go for a Trade of the Day for the rest of the offseason or so. With so many flawed teams out there along with so many players in the wrong situations, it shouldn't be hard to figure out one deal a day that should go down to make the NBA a better product.

For the first trade of the day, I'll do the unthinkable and find a place for Gilbert Arenas to land.

1. Gilbert Arenas and Andray Blatche for Vince Carter

The Wizards make this deal because they are desperate to dump Gilbert Arenas's contract and they also manage to get a halfway decent player who is on an expiring deal (and someone they could probably move in a mid-season deal to pick up a prospect or draft pick). In order to make this happen, they have to give up their talented but somewhat troubled young big man prospect Andray Blatche. It might sting a bit but Blatche is still a bit of an unknown in terms of helping an actual winning basketball team and getting his attitude away from John Wall might not be the worst thing. Not that the Wiz want Wall to learn from Carter's passionless play but he'll be gone in a year, at most.

The Magic make the deal because Vince clearly wasn't putting them over the top and Gilbert could easily fill the JJ Redick role and potentially could add more to the squad. The worst part about Vince was that he just doesn't seem to care and that's not a problem with Gil. If anything, he might care too much at times. What makes the deal go down, however, is Blatche. Yes, he's a bit of a wildcard but if he plays like he did at the end of last season, the Dwight Howard/Blatche duo will be unbelievable. It's the kind of duo that could negate the Superfriends in Miami and give the Lakers' bigs fits. After this deal, the Magic just need to try to sign a shooting guard defensive specialist for cheap and they should be off and running towards the title.
