New Found Trade Money: Warriors can now trade Speedy Claxton and Acie Law

Wait until the trade deadline mid-season.

- We’ll better understand how good Curry is and how (or if) he fits with Monta.
- We’ll better understand just how good/valuable Brandan Wright is.
- Other teams will become more desperate to unload salary for 2010 Free Agency.

Unless a team comes knocking on our door with an offer we can’t refuse (something BETTER than Devean George for Belinelli), we should just stay put until the trade deadline.

Are we aware that he is owed $16.4 million next year and $17.8 million the year after? That is a horrible contract for his talent. No thank you. I voted for “What’s the point the warriors aren’t going to do anything” but I liked most of the other trade ideas and think they would make us a better team.

I’m all for the Boozer or Bosh trade, but I really dig the Amare and Richardson trade too. That lineup would be pretty potent (if Amare comes back healthy, which I think is the real reason the Suns are in “rebuilding” mode), plus the bench would be one of the best with good young talent and serviceable veterans.

I like J-Rich over Maggette, but I like Maggette’s 6th man status, and his abilities as a guy who can get to the line.

Essentially, we’re trading Biedins for either Bosh, Amare or Boozer? I’d take that any day of the week… even if Amare doesn’t dig the W’s and signs somewhere else the following season.

Only trade IMHO is: Speedy, Acie, CJ, and/0r George….. everybody else is a keeper!

Out of the 3 or 4 players always mentioned here, NON OF THEM have taken any team they have been on to a championship! So why all of the dreaming???

I´m like Andris Biedrins + Brandan Wright + Corey Maggette + Speedy Claxton + Acie Law for AMARE STOUDEMIRE + JASON RICHARDSON

He expires at the end of the year, had a bunch of trade value, puts up 20/10 regularly.
Can’t really get better than that. AND you get rid of Maggette. The only problem with the deal is that the Jazz would refuse it. :P

so pardon any potential stupidity in my proposal, but based on the some of the nonsense above, I feel no more prefacing is needed.
why not Magette and Beans for Amare? I’m assuming the Suns don’t want that kind of money committed? From a Warriors perspective, I hate to give up the big guy, but love cutting the Magette fat, as there are enough one-dimensional players on this team. If we can’t resign Amare, fine, we have the dough for someone else major to accompany our talented youth, and this gives Nellie a shot at going out with a bang and meaning something more than a big number at the end of his career. That amazing espn trade thing you just taught me seems to think it works straight up on dollars and wins and i think both teams become better.
If Curry hits puberty before the All-Star break, we can make another move with Monta and actually make the playoffs..this year…

Assuming we can work out extensions for Bosh, Amare or Boozer (it would be tough to do these deals for 1 yr rent a player especailly those where we give up Biedrens) here’s my prefered order:
DO IT IF YOU CAN GROUP
1) Monta/Jack/AR/BOOZER/Beans Bench:Curry/Morrow/Buke/BW/Ronny
—This gives us soooo much flexibility with lineups and while man D is weak, how do we not get EVERY rebound and we have a go to post scorer. I’d sweeten the deal with Jazz to get this one done. Boozer also probably can be resigned/extended for less than Max
2) Monta/Jack/BATTIER/AR/Beans Bench:Same as #1 plus Magette
—Talk about getting something for nothing. This is essentially Al Harrington for Shane Battier (Via Crawford via Clax/Law). We then have two strong wing defenders in Jack and Battier and another threat to shoot/spread the floor for Monta/AR. This is the trade if you believe in the current star potential of Curry/Monta/Randolph.
3) Monta/Jack/AK47/AR/Beans (or Curry with Jack for AK @3)Bench:Same as #2 minus Magette.
—I like #2 much better than this roster-wise but the financial/trade benefits next yr with 17mm expiring is intriguing.

BIG RISK/REWARD + NEED MORE PIECES GROUP
4) Curry/Monta/Jack/AR/Bosh Bench:Same as above plus Magette. This is a truely small ball lineup. Yes we have an All star but no one to defend a strong big. This is also unlikely given that we can’t resign Bosh without dumping another big salary and Toronto would be pretty reluctant to pull the trigger on this.
5) Curry/Monta/Jack/AR/AmareBench:Same as #4. Similar issues as #4 but we’re a little stronger/bigger in the post but less certainty with injuries/attitude.

Basically the rest of the trades proposed are no good for me. The one where we add Maggette and BW for JRich in the Amare trade is silly. (what does JRich add that we don’t already have). TMac is physically done. Bringing Baron back means we need to trade other pieces (Monta) to get rid of an already crowded backcourt plus while I love the guy, Dizzle has lost his sizzle.

Through 781 votes, the 2nd choice won? That many people think we should trade b wright and corey maggete for j rich? i think boozer or bosh would be the most logical choice. battier would be sick though because we would have like the worst defensive team, but the best defensive player haha.

Trade Machine

It can’t work until Q Rich’s trade restriction ends in October. But the W’s get Kirilenko for Claxton and Maggette, while the Heat get Boozer for Haslem and Q Rich. The Jazz unload a ton of salary, the Heat get their man, and so do the W’s. Obviously it may take some tweaking, but thoughts?

never give up AB for a always hurt no D playing Amare. How about trade all of our expiring contracts for David Lee.

Wright
Claxton
Law
Watson

for David Lee in a sign and trade

David Lee plays no defense. While we could use the rebounding, getting a big that doesnt play defense will not help us make the playoffs. If you dont believe me, watch this

to me meaning which would be the biggest steal.. I’d have to say maggs+speedy for boozer is the biggest steal.. not only do we get rid of what i feel is a black hole in maggette but we get the premiere “BEEF” that we need to add to our fragile but very talented front line.

There is no way in right mind Toronto would accept any of these proposed deal even if Bosh was to leave. BOSH IS STAYING, he loves the city, the team, and management have built an outstanding young core around him. I understand people want Bosh, but it kills me when I hear ignorant comments like “TO SPARE THE EMBARASSMENT OF BOSH LEAVING TORONTO.” This is one of the best run franchises under the helm of BC as of late, and people underestimate Bosh’s loyalty and the Toronto Raptors presence.

beef!

Ok. We get it. You want to get rid of Claxton and Law. The Raps will trade you Marcus Banks and Chris Bosh’s athletic support (from 3 seasons ago) for that dynamic duo. Randolph and Steph Curry for Bosh. How’s that sound? What? Too ridiculous? Sheesh. Go figure.

all the warriors would have to give up for battier is claxton and law. i’d do that trade in a heart beat

The warriors need more defense and Battier is a defense specialist. I doubt Bosh is going anywhere. Toronto brought in a lot of players to help Bosh and create a contender. Amare would be a great addition. All those other guys though are either seriously injured (McGrady, Davis) or franchise players who aren’t going anywhere. Battier or Amare, no doubt add much needed defense to the warriors roster.

if they can dump law somehow (since claxton is basically going to retire) then i’ll give it an A. otherwise C to low B range. Hawks want to know about Crawford? good ball handler when going one on one, and the dude can draw a foul on a 3 point shot like nobody’s business.

He never has averaged 10 rpg. Has only averaged 2 bpg once. If we throw away our future for this guy we are dumb. Please don’t buy into the Amare hype. HE IS JUST FLASH
