Cavs Trade:
Anderson Varejao Trevor Ariza 2011 2nd round pick
Hawks Trade:
Kenyon Martin
I agree. A deal that benefits both teams basically. Aar needs the expiring to rebuild, and we add two nice pieces to contend. There was no chance for us to rebuild with no picks in the near future, so we had to go out and make some contending trades even if it meant to take on some bad contracts. I love Varejao, as I was the one who drafted him in the first place. He's obviously improved a lot since then, and will be a nice option in the frontcourt. I don't like Ariza's contract, and I don't know who gave him that...Atleast he's a good defender, and also a nice inside player considering we'll likely run an inside offense with brand/varejao/AK.

That 2nd rounder will be really good for the Hawks.
I'm glad to ditch Ariza and get a clean start.

Hawks lose a really important 2 million in cap space here. Don't think it's worth it.

is that sarcasm?
We're resigning AK and Brand anyway, so we can't really use any cap

Nah, it wasn't. This is a nasty class, 8 mil to throw around is huge. You can always use cap even if you're re-signing guys on birds. I've seen it happen plenty.
This deal just doesn't improve your team at all. If you're keeping AK and Brand, isn't AK-Brand-Kmart (and his 23 mil expiring) better than AK-Brand-Varejao with Ariza's awful deal burdening you?

how doesn't this improve our team?
I don't get your point. Varejao is much better then kmart, and Ariza is good too. If you wanted to make the point that taking on ariza's contract in this is stupid, i buy that. But how does this "not improve me at all?" Varejao is a 20/10 guy, and having a frontcourt of brand/varejao/ak is great.

I don't know how you plan on re-signing AK and Brand without going over the hard cap.

I don't know how you plan on re-signing AK and Brand without going over the hard cap. That's because you are an idiot. Their deals would have to start around 26 mil apiece for him to be in trouble.
