Trade Idea: Jazz/Cavs

[Darkwing Duck]

And if you thought DWill was pissed when Brewer was traded, just imagine how he'd be when he found out about a trade like this.

Jazz get:
Daniel Gibson
24 years old
6'2
4M/y average signed this year and next year, then a team option
13.2 ppg
3 ast
career 42% 3PT shooter

Cavs get:
CJ Miles
23 years old
6'6
3.7M, 3.7M (Team Option)
12.1 ppg
3 rpg
career 33% 3PT shooter

Why Jazz do this: Upgrade at 3pt shooting. Doesn't cost much more than CJ was costing. Gibson could play some 2guard and some point. Eventually replacing Price or Watson.

Why the Jazz might not want this: Give up some size. Possible depth issue at the SF position. Gibson's contract length is a year longer than CJs.

Why Cavs do this: Clear money for next year. They aren't going anywhere and need to clear as much room as possible to start over. If CJ worked out they'd have a Team Option to keep him for next year too. They have Mo Williams at point.

Why Cavs don't do this: They like Gibson better. He isn't THAT expensive and young and getting better?

Thoughts?

While not the worst trade idea in Jazzfanz history this may rank in the top 5. Not only does it make our team worse but it doesn't address our teams needs. Why would we want ANOTHER point man?

Gibson 26pts on 10-16 4-7(3PT) 26 points vs MIA last night.

like Miles he could can have a real good game as well. Once Memo is back a Price and Elson for Gibson not bad, but of course doubt Cavs would do it.

No....
Miles is a better player than Gibson....
