FA starts long after the draft so you can't do a S&T along with a draftpick (how many times do you need to be told this) and the Clippers aren't going to do that trade for kaman.
Frye is a free agent so you can't do the S&T along with the draftpick yet again. but I do think that there is potential in sending bibby in a S&T to Portland
Frye sucks anyway. You guys wouldn't want him as your backup PF
Although he's a great locker room guy.
As for Bibby to Portland:
We definitely want an upgrade over Blake and Bibby would be just that.
Problem is he's not really much better defensively, if at all and significantly more expensive.
I would rather acquire Hinrich (waaaaay better defense) in a trade or sign another free agent PG like Kidd (better playmaking and leadership) or Miller (better playmaking + penetrates a lot more than the others, which is something we really lack).
If we can't get any of those guys, I could see us taking Bibby though.
Wright + Ellis for Smith:
Ellis is coming off a severe injury and it seems like he's not very happy in Oakland anymore, Wright has not panned out the way the thought he would and J-Smoove is the perfect PF for them.
I don't think it's completely unlikely that they do this. I actually think it makes good sense for the Warriors. They still lack a PG after that trade but IMO Monta is not going to be that anytime soon.
