Tell me what you think of this... I think it's pretty realistic and fair:
Trade #1 between Sacramento, Cleveland and Portland
SACRAMENTO KINGS
IN: Jarret Jack (PG); Drew Gooden (PF); Damon Jones (PG)
OUT: Mike Bibby (PG)
Why for Sacramento? With the Mike Bibby rumors constantly circling, you have to think that at one point he will be traded... With the Kings not in contention this year and probably not next year, Bibby will likely leave as a free agent, so getting what the Kings can, would be wise... Getting a package of Drew Gooden, Jarret Jack and Damon Jones is pretty solid value as they get two positions of need in PF and PG and get two young, solid players at each position to start (maybe) rebuilding...
[PG] Jarret Jack / Beno Udrih / Damon Jones
[SG] Kevin Martin / John Salmons / Quincy Douby
[SF] Ron Artest / Francisco Garcia / Dahntay Jones
[PF] Drew Gooden / Kenny Thomas / Justin Williams
[CT] Brad Miller / Spencer Hawes / Mikki Moore
IR: Shareef-Abdur Rahim
Released: Orien Greene and Darryl Watkins
CLEVELAND CAVALIERS
IN: Mike Bibby (PG); Darius Miles (SF); Channing Frye (PF/CT)
OUT: Damon Jones (PG); Eric Snow (PG); Shannon Brown (SG); Drew Gooden (PF); Cedric Simmons (PF/CT)
Why for Cleveland? Well, it's pretty obvious why they do this... They get their PG and legit scorer to put next to LeBron without having to give up players like Anderson Varejao and Daniel Gibson... They also get a nice replacement piece for Gooden in Channing Frye... Even though they take on Darius Miles contract, he would likely be bought out...
PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS
IN: Eric Snow (PG); Shannon Brown (SG); Cedric Simmons (PF/CT)
OUT: Jarret Jack (PG); Channing Frye (PF/CT); Darius Miles (SF)
Why for Portland? I personally think this isn't too good of a deal for the Blazers, but some Portland fans think that something along these lines are half-decent; I curious to see Portland fans reactions... While they do give up some nice players in Jack and Frye, they attain two huge goals: get a nice size expiring next year in Snow and get rid of Miles and his contract... In the process they also pick up some nice prospects in Simmons and Brown... Don't forget Simmons 1.5 mil contract will expire next year too, totaling the expirings next year to 9 million... I also think that a veteran like Snow, will have a huge impact on a young Portland team... It's hard to let a player like him go, as a Cleveland fan because of what he brought to the game on and off the court...
[PG] Steve Blake / Sergio Rodriguez / Eric Snow / Taurean Green
[SG] Brandon Roy / James Jones / Shannon Brown
[SF] Martell Webster / Travis Outlaw
[PF] LaMarcus Aldridge / Josh McRoberts
[CT] Joel Pryzbilla / Raef LaFrentz / Cedric Simmons
IR: Greg Oden
Trade #2 between Cleveland and Washington
WASHINGTON WIZARDS
IN: Larry Hughes
OUT: 2nd Round pick; DeShawn Stevenson; Etan Thomas
Why for Washington? While Hughes does have an injury history and he doesn't have the best contract, he fit best into Washington with Gilbert & Co. To get Larry back to Washington with the current lineup, would be deadly with the great 1,2,3,4 combo the Wizards would have as well as being a nice defensive team with good individual defensive players...
[PG] Gilbert Arenas / Antonio Daniels / Roger Mason
[SG] Larry Hughes / Nick Young
[SF] Caron Butler / Oleksiy Percherov / Dominic McGuire
[PF] Antawn Jamison / Darius Songaila
[CT] Brendan Haywood / Andray Blatche
FINAL CLEVELAND CAVALIER ROSTER
[PG] Mike Bibby / Daniel Gibson
[SG] DeShawn Stevenson / Sasha Pavlovic
[SF] LeBron James / Devin Brown / Ira Newble
[PF] Anderson Varejao / Donyell Marshall / Dwayne Jones
[CT] Zydrunas Ilgauskas / Channing Frye
I really, really like this team as they are well-balanced on both ends as well as very versatile... LeBron finally gets some well needed help without depleting the overall youth of the team... The Cavs also get a lot of bad contracts off their hands and get some friendly contracts, whose players produce well... The best thing about this team, is that they are a legit 10 deep...
