How about this trade 

Post#1 » by HandDownManDown » Sun May 25, 2008 3:33 pm

Snow, Andy, Wally, DJ, for Michael Redd, Mo Williams, and Bobby Simmons. We take Simmons' and Redd's bad contract along with Mo Williams decent contract, for our expiring contracts. Draft a big with our #19 pick and we might be championship bound if it meshes. The Bucks are rebuilding and aren't going anywhere this year, they have to know that. So we give them some huge cap relief. We get a legit starting PG and SG that we've wanted to pair LeBron with for so long.

a starting line up of

Mo Williams
Michael Redd
LeBron
Big Ben
Z

looks mighty good to me. Someone else to handle the ball, two players who can create offense by themselves besides LeBron.

I'd actually throw in our #19 if we had to, to get the job done. I know its putting a lot of eggs in one basket and if we don't end up winning a championship with LeBron he's probably gone and we're left with somewhat of a mess, but I figure why not go for broke. Also Simmons is a decent 3 point shooter. Which we can always use.

That's not enough for both Redd and Williams, unless it's a midseason trade and Milwaukee's completely reloading.

We're taking Simmons horrible contract, and they will be completely reloading. I do agree it's more likely to be a midseason trade though.

Yeah, Simmons contract is bad but then there are alot of bad contracts out there and this is just not anywhere near what we'd have to give up for both players.

The Bucks would not do this deal. Simmons' contract isn't that bad anyways because it only has 2 years left. By the trade deadline, Simmons will be just a few months away from being an expiring contract.

Does anyone find it funny that all of the SG/SF free agents that the Cavs were chasing to be Lebron's robin here have flamed out? Hughes was awful, Ray Allen was good the last couple years, but looked old and slow in our series with Boston this year, and Simmons (who was on the radar, but not in our top three) had a good start with the Bucks but got hurt and hasnt been the same since.

The only guy who has lived up to the hype has been Joe Johnson. I think he was the top choice withmost of us here, but nobody thought it was realistic that the Suns would let him go. In fact the deal to get him caused the Hawks front office to blow itself up.

It would be nice to see how good this team would have been had we gone hard after him, though I know we didnt want to tie up our max $ deal for 2 weeks while everyone else was signing all the other FA's that summer.

Although if we had tied up that money we wouldnt have had to put up Hughes and Fat Donny for the last three years.

lol @ Fat Donny...you could tell he was all smoked up too....those dang eyes....thats probably how he got so out of shape...kept getting the munchies......the Bucks would never do that deal....and the Cavs need to stay in the first round of the draft.
