I'm not completely sold on this idea but I think it does make a bit of sense. The Hawks have a young player who is playing out of position in order to fit in a somewhat crazy, flawed defensive player. The Warriors have a young player who can't take over the reins because he needs to help a somewhat crazy, flawed offensive player fit in. The Hawks need a center to keep their young player happy; the Warriors could use a defensive minded guy in the frontcourt. So why not make the swap?

I'm still a little torn on the inclusion of Jordan Crawford. I think Monta and Josh are pretty even and both Beans and Marvin are flawed but Andris is a big man and that usually carries more trade value so I think Crawford has to be included. It's not an ideal trade for either team because all players involved are flawed but I think it makes the most sense.
Mike Bibby's on his last legs so Monta Ellis takes over the point guard position while Joe Johnson has the playmaking skills to take care of running the offense at times. More importantly, Biedrins gives the Hawks a center who can allow Al Horford to slide down to power forward. The Hawks have a hole at small forward but that should be a lot easier to fill than the hole they had at center.

For Golden State, they have a smallish frontcourt but what else is new? Smith helps them out defensively and makes for an interesting duo with David Lee. I like Dorrell Wright but I don't think he's better than Marvin Williams, who becomes the starting small forward. Jordan Crawford could pan out to be a nice complement to Stephon Curry, the man who should be king in the Bay Area.

Now, if Golden State thinks that Memphis might call up again with the OJ Mayo/Hasheem Thabeet deal, then they shouldn't make this trade. That's an outright steal for them IMO since Thabeet's a nice project big to have and Mayo is a great complement to Stephon Curry. I just think it's a lousy deal for Memphis because I don't see an Ellis/Gay/Z-Bo trio meshing all that well.

It might not be the best trade I've come up with. It might not take the teams to the next level. But this is a deal that fills needs for both teams and could help move two very exciting players to teams where they can fully realize their potential.
