Potential trades that would lift the w's into legit playoff/champ contenders

Inside presence is extremely important in the NBA, doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure that out but with the strength of the Western conference, it is an absolute must.  If the Warriors can flip our combo of expiring deals, young bigs, and maybe a draft pick into a legit monster to flank D. Lee, the W's will be in business to give the Lake show, Spurs, and Mavs a run for their money. If we can give up Gadzuric, Bell, B. Wright, Amundson, draft picks, and our trade exemption for either Zach Randolph in Memphis or Elton Brand in Philadelphia, or David West in New Orleans, we can almost guarantee a playoff push in April and get to at least the second round. The numbers for both players match up when I did the trade using ESPN Trade Machine though Philly is more likely to pull off the trade considering the production their getting from Brand in their offense, and their state of affairs.

Brand has 3 years left on his deal and I'm sure Philly wants out as much as Brand might and Philly would have 13 million come off their books instantly. If they are looking to trade Iguodala and are successful, the extra cap space would help them in the summer sign a free agent such as Jason Richardson or Caron Butler, which i'm sure they'd pursue heavily and succeed. For Memphis and New Orleans, Z-Bo/D. West are already in their final year of their contracts. D.West declined to extend out of frustrations with the organization (or disorganization) in New Orleans. Memphis declined to extend Z-Bo's contract which probably has spurned him. I can imagine both are ready for greener pastures. If we can send Memphis or New Orleans some draft picks to sweeten the deal, a first rounder this year...maybe, we'd have a chance at either and there'd be no doubt we could re-sign one or the other because of our potential and fan base. Z-Bo and David West are the prototypical 20 point and 10 board Power Forward beasts that we really need to scare these teams in the West and we have enough shooters on the squad to give him the space to work, something they lack in Memphis and New Orleans. Same goes for Brand and Philly. All three havent been in a run and gun system but I imagine that they would thrive in our system, especially with our pick and roll with Monta and Curry. All three have the inside presetnce that could draw double teams, something that David Lee cannot command. Inserting either in the starting lineup and putting a healthy Biedrins on the bench as an energy guy would do wonders for our depth and our team, giving Keith Smart a simple yet formidable 10 man rotation. Starting lineups would look like this, PG-Curry, SG-Ellis, SF-D. Wright, PF- Z-Bo or Brand or D. West, C- D.Lee Bench- R.Williams, E. Udoh, A. Law, A. Biedrins, V. Radmanovic (Lets resign Vlad Rad!)  

This rotation has definate playoff potential with a perfect mix of young talent, veteran leadership, and a chemistry that could spell disaster for the NBA for the forseeable future. I pray that Larry Riley is thinking the same thing, or is reading this article and gets some ideas percolating into his head, because I really think this puts us in the best position to win fo a long time.
