Real GM:Beacon Journal - Two league executives said the Cavs have had discussions about trading Gooden for Denver Nuggets point guard Earl Watson and Golden State Warriors point guard Derek Fisher, among others.
Both of those players have four years and around $25 million left on their contracts after this season, making them somewhat undesirable considering both Eric Snow and Damon Jones also have three years left on their contracts. Not to mention that, in general, trading quality big men for guards is a long-standing basketball no-no.
A more interesting option would be the Toronto Raptors ' Mike James, who likely will opt out of his contract at season's end. But it isn't clear whether the Cavs and Raptors have had meaningful discussions.
