Winners: Nets, Celtics, Knicks
Losers: Cavs, Clippers (yes they somehow managed to do a deal that makes everybody worse), Thunder, Grizzlies

I give the Nets* and the Knicks both wins. I put a mark next to the Nets because with D-Will they COULD attract other players (such as David West) that could make him want to stay in NJ, if this doesnt happen, the Nets are BIG losers because they, theoretically, would trade their team for someone who wont even be back for more than 2 years. Of course the Knicks are winners because they developed a great combo in Stat and Melo. They did give up a lot but they will make up for it with the great chemistry that will develop between Melo and Amare. Another winner, my favorit team: OKC. They got defense (what they lacked) in Kendrick Perkins. Also, who couldnt love little Nate?? Losers: Grizzlies. They traded away Hasheem Thabeet (who I beleive will be a decent player) and pulled out of a deal that would send OJ Mayo to Indiana (they needed to trade away Mayo).

OKC is a big loser here, they downgrade big this year.
Houston also loses making two moronic trades getting back dragic and thabeet.
Portland is a winner, GWallace will be big for them.

I agree with your choice of Portland, and I will add the Phoenix Suns. They added Brooks, which will allow them to trade Nash in the future. Also, earlier, they added Gortat, who has been HUGE for them.
