GoldenState/Cavaliers

[heathmalc]

This is actually a 2-part trade because Vladimir Radmanovic can only be traded by himself:

Cavaliers in:
Anthony Randolph(trade#1)
CJ Watson(trade#1)
Corey Maggette(trade#1)
Vladimir Radmanovic(trade#2)
Cavaliers out:
Zydrunas Ilgauskas(trade#1)
Coby Karl(trade#1)
2010 1st round pick(trade#1)
Cash(trade#1)
Daniel Gibson(trade#2)
JJ Hickson(trade#2)
cash(trade#2)

Warriors in:
Zydrunas Ilgauskas(trade#1)
Coby Karl(trade#1)
2010 1st round pick(trade#1)
Cash(trade#1)
Daniel Gibson(trade#2)
JJ Hickson(trade#2)
cash(trade#2)
Warriors out:
Anthony Randolph(trade#1)
CJ Watson(trade#1)
Corey Maggette(trade#1)
Vladimir Radmanovic(trade#2)

Why: The Cavaliers trade young bigs with GS and take on Maggette's contract; but Corey can be a good scorer off the bench for the Cavs. Vlad Rad hasn't done much to date, but he is a good defensive player (Learned under Jackson & Larry Brown), and he is 6'10 and can handle the ball. Mike Brown could use him for defensive match-ups. CJ Watson is the odd man out in GS, and the Cavaliers will put him on the bench as an emergency player

Golden State gets rid of Maggette's bad contract, and gets 6 million cash (3 million from each trade), they get a young big with probably less upside, but a very good team player, and he does have high upside (and just turned 21). GS ends up saving over 14 million after the buyout of Zydrunas, and saves over 56 million over the next 2 seasons, plus gets an additional 1st rounder this summer, in a deep draft.

As always, this is unrealistic. Won't ever happen..
