Some Trades that Would Actually Work-

The W’s payroll is $63,455,598 as of 12/16/2009. They’re $5,755,598 over the cap, here’s the first trade.

1. Andris Biedrins                                                                  Zydrunas Ilgauskas

    5-years $9,000,000                        To Cleveland                 1-year $11,541,074

                                                              For                           2010 1st Round Draft Pick

Cleveland would make this trade because they need a big man that can actually move. Biedrins would be a huge upgrade over Big Z and Shaq. He and Lebron on the pick and roll is a significant upgrade over Andersen Varejao. We’ll send out Mikki Moore as well to make the money work.

2. Anthony Randolph                                                                   Dorell Wright

    2-years $1,837,560                          To Miami                                1-year $2,887,165        

    Corey Maggette                                     For                         Udonis Haslem                 

    4-years $8,937,931                                                                   1-$7,100,000

Miami gets a replacement PF for Haslem with real potential. Pat Riley loves hybrid types like Randolph and he usually has success with developing them. Corey’s contract does hinder the deal a bit but Miami isn’t giving up much as it is and they would still have plenty of cap room for the future even with this deal. If Maggette’s contract is still too hard to swallow then I’ll throw Brandan Wright in as well. Otherwise, rumors state that Miami would love to have Andris so that may be an option as well. In which case, I would have to take back Mario Chalmers and his expiring deal.

3.   Vladimir Radmanovic                                                Brandon Bass  

       2-years $6,466,600                                                   4-years $4,000,000

       Stephen Curry                            To Orlando              J.J. Redick

       2-years $2,710,560                          For                    2-years $2,839,408

                                                                                        2010 2nd Round Draft Pick

Instead of taking back a 1st round pick the Magic would just take Vladimir back instead. They have a trade exception that would make it work.  

4.  Vladimir Radmanovic                                               Brian Cardinal                          

     2-years $6,466,600                                                   1-year $6,750,000

     Anthony Randolph                                                    Nathan Jawai

     2-years $1,837,560               To Minnesota                1-year $736,420

     Brandan Wright                           For                          Oleksiy Pecherov

     2-years $2,671,440                                                   1-year $1,547,640

                                                                                      2010 1st Round Draft Pick
