How to make a Washington Trade Work?

[BalancedMan]

Similar to the Charlotte thread. Post ideas using the Trade Machine to see us getting Caron Butler back using only our team's expendable parts (Frye, Outlaw, Diogu, RLEC, Sergio, Randolph, Webster)

Make it happen guys.

 

[B-Roy]

Won't happen.

You'll have to give up one or more of Rudy/Batum/Bayless along with Outlaw/Sergio etc.

Not a big fan of Mike James, but here is an idea:

Ugh, why would they do that? For one, Arenas isn't playing so that only leaves them with one point guard. And second, James is an expiring himself and you're only trading scrap parts.

The goal is to get back Butler or G.Wallace while keeping those three along with Pryz, Oden, Roy, LMA, & Blake. If we get one of those two back while keeping those three players, we WIN.

That's fine, take out Diogu and replace him with Sergio. Washington is in a similar situation where they may not want to move younger pieces that have shown promise like Nick Young, McGuire, McGee, etc. So that means in order to make the salaries match...

Then this one...I'm excited to see what the RLEC is really worth. I didn't think it was worth that much on it's own, but I've bought into all the hype and now think it's worth more than I ever thought.

I think taking Arenas back (which looks like a gift to them, and we get an Olympic-caliber PG if he ever heals) can make up for some of the talent lack on our end.

They have to be matching 5-5 deals because of roster spots.

I wouldn't mind giving Bayless up instead of Blake, but it's tougher to make the numbers work like that (b/c of Arenas' BYC)

 

[RoyToy]

You guys are freaking insane for even mentioning Arenas' name. Hell no to taking him on.

 

[Tortimer]

Taking Arenas contract back would be a deal breaker and I couldn't hang up the phone fast enough if I'm KP.

Since we'll be over the cap and since it's not my money. Here's a deal that works where we get the Bullets 1st round pick in this years draft giving us a shot at say Rubio

In- Arenas (ouch), Butler (hell yeah), Bullets 1st rounder (hell yeah)
Out- Travis, Frye, Sergio and Raef
