The Cavs drastically improve their team. They finally get Lebron's 2nd hand man in Redd, who can make the open shot and take pressure off of Lebron. Big Ben has a bad contract, but should do pretty well next to a big C in Z. He gives the Cavs some much-needed post D. Gadz provides post depth.

Hughes/Gibson/Curry
Redd/Brown/Sessions
James/Pavlovic/Noel
Wallace/Varejao/Jones
Ilgauskas/Gadzuric/Ruffin

The Bulls shake things up. They dump Big Ben, who hasn't fit in at all with them. They get, in return, Gooden, who provides some much-needed post scoring. The price to pay is trading Nocioni for Simmons, but Simmons is still a servicable player when healthy.

Hinrich/Duhon/Jones
Gordon/Sefolosha/Griffin
Deng/Simmons/Khryapa
Gooden/Thomas/Nichols
Noah/Smith/Gray

The Bucks clearly aren't going anywhere, so blowing it all up seems like a good idea. They dump 3 HUGE contracts, and get back only 1 contract that runs past 2009, which is Nocioni's. He gives them a solid SF that they have been lacking for a while. They also get 2 young players in Simmons and Brown, and 2 picks this year.

Williams/Ivey/Snow
Mason/Bell/Brown
Nocioni/Storey/Newble
Jianlian/Villanueva/Marshall
Bogut/Simmons/Voshkul

[Snakebites]

Without really looking into the logistics of the deal (too lazy look at the ins and outs of such a large deal), I think the Bucks would prefer trading Redd to a team they face a little less often then the Cavs.

Theres a reason blockbusters between division rivals are rare.

[zong]

wow, the cavs starting 5 is paid like 13 million each, wow, are they THAT desperate to get Lebron help?

edit: and bucks get screwed =/ basically they get rid of Simmons for Nocio, but losing Redd to a divison rival by losing Gadz is not a decent return, they should look to get Daniel Gibson from the Cavs too

[theBigLip]

Cavs get rid of all their crap, add Gooden to the mix, and come up with Redd? Not going to happen.

This is bad for Milwaukee we hang up the phone before you even finish this offer.
