Re: So What Now?
They only way you are going to move Hughes is if someone is high enough on Gibson to move a decent player in a deal for them both. The Cavs would be much better off keeping Hughes, unless they find a trade partner and a deal they can not pass up.
As for dealing Gooden and Hughes for Randolph and D Miles, I dont think Portland would even consider it. If Protland is going to trade Randolph they arent going to take back a bad salary, especially when it is possible for them to sign and trade for Vince or Rasahard with Randolph being the main part of the package.

Re: So What Now?
Most of the situations involving trading away Hughes are just pipe dreams.

Well the thinking would be that Gooden and Hughes are on the hook for less years than Miles and Randolph. And how else are they going to get rid of Darius Miles? Plus Hughes would give them a veteran presence off their bench, and Gooden could fit nicely into their big man rotation.
The Sonics may not be interested in Randolph because of his salary. The Nets might be interested. But if the Blazers get Vince, then one of their young wings has to sit down on the bench.
I dunno. I was trying to think of deals where a team wanted badly to get rid of a player.
It would be like:
Cavs-Hughes
Blazers-Miles
Kings-Artest
Warriors-Foyle

Re: So What Now?
I'm not a big VC fan and I don't know how the hell you make the numbers work,but I think Cleveland might be the only team in the league where a sign and trade for Carter would make a bit of sense.The Nets would be interested in Varejao and other decent frontline in the world.Aside from that my only suggestion is to send Hughes to Haiti on a goodwill mission and have a voodoo priestess turn him into a zombie long enough for an NBA approved doctor to declare him unable to continue his playing career.Afterwards you apply to have him taken off the books in one year and he becomes an expiring contract.

Re: So What Now?
I think that the Hughes for Kenyon Martin idea is good for both teams, especially because Gooden isn't hard to trade. But if Cavs could find a way to get JR Smith in this deal, I think it could be perfect (if JR can get totally healthy after his car accident)...

Re: So What Now?
JR Smith could very well become a FA if the Nougats don't decide to exercise the option on his rookie deal.He isn't exactly Mr Popular there.They were desperate for outside shooting so they played him in spite of his absolute refusal to play defense.By the end of the year he and Karl weren't exactly best of buds so it's hard to tell what Denver does with him.

Re: So What Now?
Ha. JR Smith on the Cavs would be perfect. Who better for our random offense than an out and out chucker like Smith. He would have to play defense though. But Mike Brown has got far lesser talents to play defense.
Diable's point about VC is well made.

JR is good friends with LBJ too. I'd love to have him...possibly a realistic acquisition too.

Re: So What Now?
I got an idea.
What about a trade with Utah, Hughes for Kirilenko.
They're both overpaid and injury prone, Utah needs a SG badly, and we could play AK at the 3 and LBJ at the 2 on offense. We could even bring him off the bench as a 6th man and start Sasha.
Not ideal but might be an option.

True, but it would be a good match. I would think the Nets would be extremely interested, because Vince would be dealt out west and they get the player they have been searching for for year, a low post presence.
I dunno. I was trying to think of deals where a team wanted badly to get rid of a player.
Golden State has Jrich on the block, but they wouldnt take back Hughes' contract. Gooden might be a possibility, but Al Harrington would have to mvoe to SF for most of the time, I dont see the happeneing.
