Why the Cavs should trade for Gilbert Arenas

[the_chief]

Just so we're all clear... I want Jamison and the shot at Wall - and I would absolutely give our trade chips for them. It just implies that we have to take Gilbert to get them. We don't ever have to play Gilbert. Now, if you still thinks it's a bad idea, have at it.

Ya, it's still a bad idea...

OK... I know this sounds ridiculous, but how about this trade...

Z + Boobie + Jawad + Hickson + Cavs first rounder this year + some combination of Wally/Lorenzen to make salaries match for Arenas + Jamison + the Wizards first rounder this year.

Now, here's why I think it might make sense for the Wizards:

- First and foremost, they get rid of the Arenas headache - the deal obviously only makes sense for them if this is a huge priority - I'm guessing it might be
- Second, they dump a lot of salary
- They get some decent young pieces in JJ, Jawad, and Boobie

And why it might make sense for the Cavs:

- This assumes Z would get bought out and would come back... now, the Cavs go into the playoffs with a Lebron/Mo/Delonte/Parker/Moon/Andy/Shaq/Z/Jamison rotation... that team would be tough to beat this year
- That would leave them a rotation of Lebron/Mo/Delonte/Parker/Moon/Andy/Jamison/Wizards lottery pick/maybe Z as the start of a rotation for next year
- A solid shot at John Wall - can you imagine he and Lebron together for the next 10 years? The Cavs chances of putting a true star with Lebron are VERY slim - this scenario gives us at least a shot at that.
- I don't expect Arenas would ever play a game for the Cavs - but the added salary would be less of an issue since they would be getting what should be a top rotation player on the cheap out of the lottery pick.

Now, this is obviously far-fetched, and I know it's VERY unlikely, but I wonder if the Wizards wouldn't bite between financial considerations and the absolute PR nightmare that is the Arenas situation. And, from the Cavs standpoint, this trade is an incredible balance of setting us up to win now and to build for the future.

Your thoughts?

Wait....so you're saying trade for the guy, yet you dont even include him in your rotation for this season and the next??? Wow dude

I think I just died a little bit inside after reading this idea.

Quick! Say you were kidding. Take it back! You're on a suicide mission, kid. Head back now, while you still have a fighting chance!

Before the trade deadline we seriously need to have some sort of thing where you have to prove your not from CavFanatic before you can enter RCF. Get ready for the storm.
