We Trade Vince and Kidd
Cavs Trade Brown, Hughes and Gooden
Kings Trade Bibby and Garcia
we recieve Hughes, Gooden, Garcia and Bibby.
Cavs get Kidd
Kings get Carter and Brown.
Importantly we also revieve Kings and Cavs picks for this year.
We lowball Curly and wright since there will be absolutely NO interest in them.
Cavs do this deal because they get Kidd. 'Nuff said
Kings do this deal because a perimeter trio of Carter, Martin and Salmons is worth at least 55ppg
We do this deal to start over. Garcia, Gooden and Bibby are Nice pieces. Yes Hughes has a very crappy contract but for two draft picks, one cant complain. Thoughts?</div>
Not a total rebuild, pieces are young enough to buy a few years to see how it meshes, if it doesn't you can move them out separately or as a package. The draft picks are always welcomed, given the success we've had with Boone and both Williamses. Another thought on the VC to Sac....Sac's having their worst attendance year, ever in Sacramento.....Maloof is about winning, but they're also businessmen. He sees with Bibby, they are not drawing, toss in VC.......just got to get these GM's on the same page. Hughes is the biggest obstacle for us....but with Kidd and VC gone, there should be more shots available for him....to at least drive up his value and a possible summer trade.

Nice to see someone who agrees. We dont blow it up but we just move laterally.
Bibby/Mwill/DA
Garcia/Hughes/Wright
Jefferson/Boki
Gooden/Swat/Allen
Booooone/Collins/Krstic
Now that squad with a coach... I dunno... John Lucas perhaps? Would contend. We are a helluva lot deeper and with Garcia and Bibby finally have some outside shooting. We'd have to go back to a more tradtional princeton offense but exploiting Goodens passing skills and utilizing Swat off the bench in the Varajao role would cover any of the lapses that Gooden occasionally have.
But of course that would never happen now would it... sigh. Anyone else have an opinion on this trade?
Plus the more I think about it the Sacto Pick might not be nescessary, since they end up mighty thin at the pg role, but with Salmons and Carter on the floor whist Udrih is off, may cover its short comings. I think Vince would be far more effective in Theus' offense, especially after how many open looks they were generating tonght.
