Bibby to Cavs, Yi to Kings

[MiKel]

First, hello to everybody . I'm a Kings fan from Poland, read this board a lot, but this is my first post. My english isn't perfect yet, so if i make any mistake

Let's assume that Bucks can't get agreement with Ji. Cavs seems to want Bibby, but also keep Gibson and one of Varejao/Gooden. So how about this trade:

Kings:
Incoming: Donyell Marshall, Eric Snow, rights to Yi Jianlian
Outgoing: Mike Bibby

Cavs:
Incoming: Mike Bibby, Dan Gadzuric
Outgoing: Donyell Marshall, Eric Snow, Drew Gooden

Bucks:
Incoming: Drew Gooden
Outgoing: rights to Yi, Dan Gadzuric

Kings get Yi and two expirings that ends in 2008/2009, without giving any young player.

Cavs get Bibby and keep Gibson, also they can resign Varejao and play him at 4. Gadzuric can be good back-up to Big Z and Varejao.

Bucks loose Yi, but they get good frontcourt player that improve their rebounding and is much better player now. However Yi has more potential, so they also trade Gadzuric contract.

Kings will be much worse team next season, but will have young core of Martin, Garcia, Yi, Justin, Hawes. Also high draft pick in 2008 (OJ Mayo or Derrick Rose?) and some cash in summer 2009.

Doesn't look like a win-win situation for every team?

You're english looks fine to me.

As far as the trade goes I don't see the Bucks giving Yi up for Gooden and if they would I think the Cavs would just make that trade themselves so they could have another young star with LeBron.

That's not bad at all. Make it a lot better than getting back Gooden ourselves. But as mentioned, do nto see the Bucks moving Yi for Gooden unless other candy was involved (us taking back the Gadzuric contract being perhaps part of it, so good call there).

Have the Cavs send a lotto protected first rounder to Milwaukee and I'd say a solid trade and valiant effort on your part.

I'd say it is already a solid effort. I have seen worse...

It's close, but I don't see Milwaukee biting without the pick involved...they just invested a top 6 pick into Yi, they're going to want a better return than just Gooden.

I agree with Smills91, I think the problem is Milwaukee. I think they could do much better than Drew Gooden for Yi.

As it sounds now, they are about to get absolutely nothing for that pick with Yi threatening to walk. Beggars can't be choosers.

a top 6 pick for a later first rounder from the Cavs?

it might have to be a 2008 top 3 protected pick from us, since we'll be a lotto team still. that might be worth it for two of this year's top 10 picks

Just thinking out loud here.. Nobody in their right mind wants KT on their team... but didn't the Kings and Bucks almost have a deal last year where KT would be Traded for Desmond Mason? So they at least have some sort of interest in KT.
