I know he's a restricted free agent, and the possibility of this trade happening is next to none, so this is more of a devil's advocate possibility.
Would you do a dual S+T for Daniel Gibson for Carl Landry straight up? Granted both teams are losing integral parts to their teams, Houston maybe moreso than the Cavs because of their bigman situation, but I think this trade makes sense for both squads. For the Cavs, you get a young big man that can score and play with some energy, and he makes AV that much more expendable. For Houston, they would get a nice backup PG option to shore up the backcourt in Boobie who has the local ties and is cold-blooded from three. He could help spread the floor for Yao and TMac.
I think both Boobie and Landry should see about similar numbers in their contracts, as they are both young players that have proved something, but not a lot in the NBA. I know Houston is pretty high on Landry, but this trade is really like a swap of sixth men. Maybe Cleveland throws in the #19 pick, or they swap picks? Again, the likelihood of this trade happening is next to zero because both are restricted free agents, but I feel like this would be a swap that could be beneficial for both squads. Thoughts?
