I think thats a good trade for both teams.

While Hughes has a HUGE contract, he's a good player and I think he would be a good player for us. I still think that Gooden and Lee is pretty redundant but oh well. We would be getting more talent but the guys that the Cavs got would fit their team pretty well.

Good trade.

Good trade.

i figure having 2 good rebounding F's like Gooden & Lee can only help us when Curry isn't exactly known for his rebounding skills... the perimeter shooting we'd lose from Frye we'd more than make up for in Hughes... & Hughes is a good perimeter defender, which we need desperately at the 2G spot... a 4 some of Gooden, Q Rich, Hughes & Marbury can help to offset the defensive deficiencies in Curry's game, & that would allow Eddy to focus on getting his points in the paint... leave the dirty work to guys like Gooden, D Lee & Q to grab the boards & defend down low... & having Hughes on the perimeter would also help to lighten the load on Marbury as well to guard bigger players all the time & focus more on the orchestrating part of his job as a PG... that's my reasoning anyway.

Larry is a better perimeter player then craw ( cant see it), that guy is a set shooter if i ever seen one. You listen to some of the commentators on for the opposing teams, and they rave about curry, lee, and craw.

Nope not worth the added salary...I like Craw better than Hughs...

I'll make a trade to help us get to the next level..This doesn't do that..

it's about adding pieces & building up for a bigger deal later... what form of impact deal do you realistically think we can make w/Francis, Frye, Nate & CHI's pick at this point that would bring this team to the next level?

newyork, i like the idea of moving Gooden for a shotblocker in another trade, but what bigmen are realistically available that could help this team? Erick Dampier? Adonal Foyle? there aren't that many viable options at the C/PF position in terms of shotblockers right now... if MIA would trade us Alonzo, Posey & their 2nd rounder for Gooden, i'd make that deal in a heartbeat... maybe Tyson Chandler for Gooden & Cato? i don't think the Hornets would pull the trigger on that one.

You are trading for guys with their ceilings already locked in...Gooden is a 12 and 8 guy.

Gooden plays only 27 mpg. Play him 35 mpg and his #s will look better than Curry's.

Gooden will be 15.5 pts and 10.8 rebs over 35 mins, Curry would be 20 pts 7.1 rebs..Frye 13.8pts 7.3 rebs...Lee 12.7 pts 12.0 rebs...

How does adding Gooden and Hughs help us...still...

Holfresh, adding those guys right this very moment might help a little bit.

But you are correct that it would be short-sighted to do so, and f they were so good they would be rocking and rolling with LeBron right now.

I bet LeBron wouldn't mind having Frye to pitch it out to when he is triple-teamed.

oohah

I'd look to see if we could find a better deal for a package of Frye/Nate/1st round pick.
Not that I wouldn't necessarily do this deal, it just wouldn't be my first choice.

I like the trade only because we keep Crawford. Hughes is solid but he is not a great 3pt shooter and I think Crawford is a better individual scorer when he is on. You start Hughes and then bring Crawford off the bench. Gooden and Lee are redundant, as others have said, but in getting rid of Francis and Rose's contracts, it would be worth it. I, however, think that Cleveland would not do it because they would not really have a shooting guard other than that rookie (who's name escapes me at the moment). Plus, I would be a little concerned about Hughes health. The guy misses 20 games every year.
