A possible Warriors trade (my idea)

I'll explain the rationale for each team afterwards, but I'll post the trade first:

 

Star-divide

RealGM Trade ID #4682114

Warriors trade:
Baron
SJax
Al Harrington

Warriors receive:
Sheed
Odom
Ariza
Mihm

Why for the Warriors: move the bad contracts (and the potential bad contract for Baron), get back expiring players who make a ton of sense in the system.

Lakers trade:
Odom
Ariza
Mihm
Future pick

Lakers receive:
Chauncey
Steven Jackson
Amir Johnson

Why for the Lakers: They get a prototypical PG for the Triangle in Billups, a compelling (and clutch) SF in Jackson who is a killer on a top-level team, and a utility big in Amir.

Detroit trades:
Billups
Sheed
Amir Johnson

Detroit receives:
Baron
Al Harrington
LAL future pick

Why for the Pistons: They get younger and the guard rotation of Baron/Rip/Stuckey would destroy humanity.

 

Back to the Warriors:
2008/2009 Warriors:
PG: ??? (Shaun Livingston?) / CJ Watson
SG: Monta / CDR (1st rounder) / Marco Polo
SF: Odom / Ariza / CDR
PF: Sheed / Wright / [Filler]
C:  Beans / Sheed / Wright / Hardin (2nd rounder)

2009/2010 Warriors:
PG: ??? / ????
SG: Monta / CDR / Marco
SF: CDR / ????
PF: Wright (Sheed?) /
C:  Beans / Wright / Hardin

That team with the ability to sign or S+T Odom, Ariza, and Sheed, coupled with picks. Oh, and they'd have $30 million in cap room.

This FanPost is a submission from a member of the mighty Golden State of Mind community. While we're all here to throw up that W, these words do not necessarily reflect the views of the GSoM Crew. Still, chances are the preceding post is Unstoppable Baby!

I doubt all 3 of those guys get dealt.

Nelson won’t want to completely change the core of this team.

i dont get it...

why everyone for some reason wants to trade our core guys for older players/ picks. IMO, we are just 1 player away from being serious playoff contenders. Blowing up our core guys doesnt makes any sense.

Pass

Sorry. I like the…

Billups, Ellis, Jackson, Sheed, Biedrins lineup a whole hell of a lot better than the one proposed there.

The Lakers would absolutely win out in that trade. Trading Odom, Ariza, and Mihm who plays 4 minutes every 2 years for Chauncey, Steven Jackson AND Amir Johnson? The only reason why I believe Detroit would be opening to trading both Sheed and Maxiell is because Joe D is high on Amir Johnson.

Why would we do it? Why do we need expiring contracts that fit the system? Just so we can put pieces to the puzzle that’ll get broken up in a year anyway?

Option 1: Pull the trigger on the Billups/Sheed trade.

Option 2: Do absolutely nothing (with Baron/Al) and let Baron walk into FA next season. Al becomes a tradeable expiring next season.

Ultimately: Billups, Ellis, Jackson, Sheed and Biedrins

beats

Question Mark, Ellis, Odom, Sheed, and Biedrins

6 out of 7 games.
