Andris would need to be a S&T player, and he wants around 10 million per year...and unlike Varejao, he's actually worth it!!!!! Problem here is that a S&T player cannot be traded with another person.

Stephen Hunter was signed and traded to Cleveland along with Drew Gooden and the rights to Anderson Varejao for Tony Battie and two second round picks. It happens in the NBA all the time to make trades financially work.

Also, I didn't run the numbers but did you also allow for Biedrins BYC status?

Assuming the Cavaliers wer going to Andris to a contract that equaled 50 million over 5 years, then his first year salary would be 8.15 million.

Andris = 4.075 million (BYC number for assumed 1st year salary)
Davis = 16.4 million


Cavaliers Trade
Varejao = 5.3 million (No longer BYC, as of 6/30/08)
Wally Szczerbiak = 12.2 million
Eric Snow = 3.3515625 million ( Maximum amount allowed for disabled player exception, for a player earning $6,703,125)

Because Andris is a BYC , his salary (for our purposes) is only $4.075 million

Andris can be traded for the Eric Snow Exception because Eric's exception,
$3,351,562.50 + 125% + $100,000 = $4,199,453.10 ... which is well within the range for the CBA

The trade also abides by the rule that an injured-player exception can only be used on a single player.

Wally Szczerbiak + Anderson Varejao's collective salaries are within the 125% + 100,000 rule also.

So, to answer the question of if I took the BYC into account, yes, I did.



Some other people wanted to talk about Andris scoring 10 and rebounding 10 a game, while shooting 62% (tops in the NBA)...and use that for a reason for why GS wouldn't do this trade. Well, yes... he shot 62% from the field.... but his field consisted of 97% shots within 5 feet of the rim. Anderson took lots of shots from further out (even though he is as poor a shooter as Andris). Andris benefited from Baron ,Ellis and Jax.... getting VERY easy shots that made his % higher. For a better idea of his true shooting ability, look at his FT%.

Also...Nobody has suggested that GS is rebuilding. However, the difference between our owner and theirs is that ours is willing to pay the luxury tax... theirs has given Mullin STRICT orders not to enter luxury-tax limbo!

They will be getting a "PUSH" talent-wise as far as Varejao/Andris goes. They are pretty-much the same player. Only Varejao is cheaper. They get 2 #1 picks for Davis, and an expiring contract they can deal at the deadline for more picks/talent.

Will it happen? I dunno... but there "could" be some validity to the rumors that were floating around friday. Perhaps this deal, or something like it gets done...perhaps not. Gasol for Kwame... who would have thunk it?
 
so now that Baron just opted out of his contract i think this becomes reallly interesting


I would love to do a sign and trade for B Diddy....He is now offically my new pipe dream!!!!
 
Not only did Baron opt out, so did Brand...
 
How about AV, Wally, Damon and maybe a 2009 2nd round pick for Baron?

Will never happen. Baron has established himself as a legit one-man wrecking-crew. He will command at-least 2 #1 picks, and that is really a steal.
 
Anything is possible look at the Celtics. Thats a DREAM TEAM, but if BAron Joins lets just say CHAMPIONSHIP. Lebron will for sure stay and cant see him leave a championship team than. Thats a big deal for CLEVELAND

Jesus christ guys.. We're talking about Baron Davis here. The franchise player of the Warriors. I honestly don't know how we could even possibly pull this off with Andy, Wally, and Damon "and maybe a 2nd rounder." You make it sound like were giving up to much and throwing in a 2nd rounder might not be the best idea but we can. If we are going to get Baron we're gonna have to give up Delonte, if they want Daniel. 2009 and 2011 first and second rounders.

These crazy trade ideas are turning this place into cavs.com.
 
LOL I noticed Heath put up a "Thank You" to the stupid trade idea's when HE'S THE ONE WITH THE IDEA
Rofl


Yeah i agree its going to have to be Delonte Boobie + more
 
I like your thinking and where your getting at, but would this really happen?? We would need to take someone whom they hate off their hands...
