2518308, If there is anyone the Magic should trade it's Tobias for a center

Maybe holla at the Heat & offer Tobias for Whiteside/Deng (http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=j29tg82). If Whiteside doesn't re-sign then they could just use the cap space to go after Ezeli. (Scott Skiles might punch Whiteside in the face before it's all said & done)

Heat can start Winslow & play Tobias at the 4 b/c Amare ain't the answer.

The Magic have a lot of decision to make since Fournier/Hezonja/Dipo share minutes & Aaron Gordon/Tobias are both tweeners. If they want to re-sign Fournier then they have to trade Dipo.

Trading Dipo/Vuc for Butler doesn't make sense unless they are planning on letting Fournier walk b/c there will still be a log jam (Fournier is going to get paid so they can't just use him as a backup unless they want their own version of Iggy). They would be stupid to let him walk since they can trade him at the trade deadline & get value for him as he's a restricted free-agent.

The only Bulls/Magic trade (involving Butler) that makes sense is Dipo/Fournier/Frye for Butler. The Bulls get a decent replacement for Butler & a legit wing along a stretch 5 to run the high PnR w/ Rose. Magic can start Payton/Butler/Hezonja.
