Ok dont tell me that we should keep him or whatever. i dont wanna hear it.

Just give some reasonable trades that would help.

Cavs are probably looking for a defensive GUARD that can shoot from 3.

Possible another (perferably defensive) big for downlow, whether he starts or comes off the bench.

Feel free to use anyone on the cavs except. LBJ Boobie Averajou and big Z

Wuddya got?

Taiwan Killa · Post #2 » by **Taiwan Killa** » Fri Jan 18, 2008 5:21 am

Kwame Brown (defensive big)
Crittenton (defensive, can shoot the 3)
1st rounder (about 20th, Farmar, Walton level pick)

We'll take back a bad contract if you want too.

IF they take Hughes, IMO one of those young pieces, (1st or Crit) should come out.

Something starting with Gooden/filler for Scola/Head/Francis-or-James? This works:

Gooden/Damon Jones/Dwayne Jones

for

Scola/Head/James

Houston upgrades at starting PF, in exchange for downgrading at backup guard.

Cleveland picks up a couple of shooters for their backcourt without depleting their frontcourt depth. They take on James' extra year, but improve their depth and save money the first two years (those savings are doubled since they're in the tax).

I posted this earlier and got no love

Kwame, Sasha, 08 #1 (lottery)

for

Gooden, Marshall

I know it probably won't happen but as a Pacers fan I would offer:

JO/Tinsley/Harrison

for

Gooden/Snow/Marshall/Newble/Gibson

In the Cavs halfcourt offense JO would fit very well and he will give Cleveland the defensive force they don't really have. Tinsley has had a good relation with Mike Brown and with LBJ on his team Jamaal won't feel the urge to take all shots during crunch time, and can concentrate on his passing skills.

Indiana loses on the talent side but get shorter contracts and Gibson, who will look just fine in the open offense of he Pacers.

I really can't see the Cavs wanting James or Tinsley (way too bad a shooter and headcase) at all. That Laker package of Kwame and Crittenton is pretty interesting however.

Lakers give Lamar Odom
for
Drew Gooden and Eric Snow

Lakers get some defense and toughness down low, and the Cavs get a player with an actual offensive game, albeit inconsistant. Snow takes up the Lakers' 15th roster spot and can remain inactive. It gets him off the Cavs cap a year early, and doesn't mess w/ the Lakers guard rotation.
Cavs fans need perspective, Gooden isn't a top-tier player and not worth anyone's first round pick. He's a grinder plain and simple, but admittedly, for the Lakers, he would fill a need.

Take back Kenny Thomas and Bibby is as good as gone to Cleveland.

how about carlos arroyo and Pat garrity.... both expirings and carlos can run the point for you... i know hes not defensive minded.... is this undervalueing gooden??

mg · Post #16 » by mg » Fri Jan 18, 2008 7:23 pm

LOL at Kings fan...

Finally all of the bad contracts (except Hughes) will come off the books by end of next season. I can't see them ruining that by taking on Kenny Thomas' contract.

CLE out: Gooden, Jones, Newble, 1st
