Trade #1: CLE/CHI
CLE outgoing/CHI incoming: Drew Gooden, Larry Hughes, and Ira Newble
CHI outgoing/CLE incoming: JamesOn Curry, Kirk Hinrich, and Ben Wallace
Why do the Cavs do this deal?
They finally get their PG they have been lacking ever since Lebron became a Cav. They also get Big Ben to replace Gooden, whose defense would compliment Z very well. Lastly, they dump Hughes' contract.
Why do the Bulls do this deal?
The Bulls are in need of a shakeup. This trade nets them Hughes, who would compliment Gordon very well in the backcourt, like an Arenas-Hughes lite. Big Ben hasn't fit in well at all, so they dump him and get Gooden, who provides the low post scoring they so desperately need.
Gordon/Duhon/Griffin
Hughes/Sefolosha/Newble
Deng/Nocioni/Nichols
Gooden/Thomas/Khryapa
Noah/Smith/Gray
Trade #2: CLE/MIL
CLE outgoing/MIL incoming: Daniel Gibson, Damon Jones, Donyell Marshall, Cedric Simmons, Eric Snow, and 2008 1st round pick (top 10 protected)
MIL outgoing/CLE incoming: Charlie Bell, Dan Gadzuric, Michael Redd, Michael Ruffin, and Ramon Sessions
Why do the Cavs do this deal?
Yes, losing Boobie will hurt, but Redd is a more proven player who the Cavs targeted in the summer of 2005. He could step in and be that Pippen type player the Cavs have been longing for. Bell and Gadzuric provide depth at PG and C, respectively.
Why do the Bucks do this deal?
They're rumored to be looking at blowing it up, and this trade is a good start. They dump 3 long contracts, and get back a bunch of contracts that expire in 2009. They also bring in Boobie, who is like a poor man's Redd. Lastly, they get a 1st round pick.
Williams/Ivey/Snow
Gibson/Mason/Jones
Simmons/Storey/Noel
Jianlian/Villanueva/Marshall
Bogut/Simmons/Voshkul
Final CLE Roster:
Hinrich/Bell/Curry
Redd/Brown/Sessions
James/Pavlovic/Brown
Wallace/Varejao/Ruffin
Ilgauskas/Gadzuric/Jones

The Bulls deal is a rumored deal accoring to a thread on the Bulls board.skones wrote:Sure, Chicago and Milwaukee will make Cleveland title contenders while getting garbage in return. Makes perfect sense to me.
GET REAL.
I think the Bucks deal is solid - Boobie is a poor man's Redd, you get a 1st, and you dump a ton of salary.

The third time I've had to post this today, hopefully it's the last. Cleveland does not have the assets to get Redd.

Both were 2nd round picks and lights-out shooters (Boobie has the better 3-pt avg. this year!!!). I'm not saying he's as good as Redd, but he's got talent.
Come on. Gibson is okay but no where near close to Redd in terms of value. Late 1sts hold no interest to us if the best player we get back is Gibson. Also none of those BAD contracts you gave up expire after this year.

Try again in the offseason when they are at least neutral expirings...and you'll still need to add more.
You should sticky a Redd trade thread. All these Redd deals on the front page suck to keep responding to.
