Golden State and Philadelphia trade?

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=...

Philly could have a very explosive back court with the addition of Monta. Lou Williams is a good player but I think he would be a little more effective coming off the bench providing instant offense.

They also get Andris Biedrins and Brandan Wright in exchange for their 2 starting front court players Elton Brand and Samuel Dalembert. Biedrins is just about as good as Dalembert (or better depending on your opinion.) Brand hasn't been his old self in Philly so I could see them wanting to get rid of him. With this trade, Philly could start Speights and give him more action at the pf spot and have Brandan Wright back him up.

The Warriors team gets 2 decent quality, big front court players in Brand and Dalembert. It would give their frontcourt a little more bulk so they won't be pushed around all the time. Some Golden State fans would love to see Monta leave as well in addition to Maggette and Jackson. Having those three on the team kills chemistry and ball movement.

The hard part for GSW fans to swallow would be to give up Biedrins. He's a favorite among fans and is a very solid player.

The alternative would be to omit Dalembert and Biedrins from the trade completely. However, Dalembert would have more trade value next year as an expiring contract for the Warriors if they were to look towards making a big deal. Otherwise, you would just be getting brand and his 4 years of $14 mil.

This trade could possibly slow down Anthony Randolph's growth as well.
