The Warriors obviously have a massive stockpile of very talented players who primarily play the tweener-guard and wing positions, and it's no secret that they've been looking for an offensive presence at the four to play off of this strength.

If the Warriors aren't able to get Stoudemire, does it make sense to try to clear cap space for the 2010 frenzy by dealing Maggette?  The sideplot to the Wade/Bron storyline is the massive crop of talented power forwards who will be available in 2010: Chris Bosh and Carlos Boozer are the headliners, but there's a decent chance that Dirk, David Lee, Lamarcus Aldridge, and/or Amare will be unrestricted free agents as well.  With Don Nelson's run-and-gun style, the fan enthusiasm, the promising nucleus of young players in Golden State, and the team's explicit desire for a premiere PF, it seems likely that one of those guys would sign with the Warriors if they had the cap space.

Any team taking Maggette would have to have a pretty big need at small forward, as well as have the future cap flexibility and the current expiring deals to pull off a deal.  It seems to go without saying that in the current financial state of the NBA, the team getting Maggette would expect to get other useful players in return as well.  A team who might see Maggette as a decent fit is the Timberwolves, who have a Corey Brewer-sized hole at the three and $14.1MM in expirings in Brian Cardinal and Etan Thomas.  Maggette provides a lot of the things that the Wolves lack, most importantly triple-threat ability and foul-drawing.

The Wolves also match up well with Golden State because they have a big need for shooters at the two and defense in the middle.  Two players not central to the Warriors' title contention plans would benefit the Wolves a lot: Marco Belinelli and Ronny Turiaf.  Maggette, Belinelli, and Turiaf add up to nearly the exact same cost as Cardinal and Thomas's expiring deals.

The potential for Curry, Ellis, Jackson, Amare (or any legit power forward), and Biedrins with Azubuike, Randolph, Morrow, and Wright getting significant minutes has to be scary for the rest of the league.  All of those players save the FA PF are under contract for 2010 for a combined $41.1MM, so basically the Warriors would have the room to offer a max deal to someone unless the cap goes down by more than about $4MM next year.  Even if the Warriors needed to wiggle and deal Wright or Azubuike in order to get a few extra million, those players would be desired and would command value.

So as a follower of the league, my question is, would you give up Belinelli and Turiaf to get rid of Maggette's deal and have cap space in 2010?  Would the Wolves have to give up more (draft picks, players potentially useful to G.S. like Oleksiy Pecherov or Craig Smith, etc)?  If you wouldn't do it now because of other possible moves, would you do it at the deadline if no better deal emerges?
