I tried ESPN's Trade Machine..does it really work?!

 

So I was looking for potential help off the bench, and since I live closest to the Golden State Warriors, I tried out a trade to help out the Small Forward position..

Golden State Warriors get: Mikki Moore and Tony Allen

Boston Celtics get: Corey Maggette

 

This trade isn't realistic, is it? That's trading one decent player for two subpar at the very best players.

 

The only logical reasoning behind this is that Golden State would get two expiring contracts to free up $8 million in anticipation of the 2010 free agent class. If this trade is at all possible (which I seriously, SERIOUSLY doubt), then why wouldn't we take it? Corey Maggette is among the league leaders in getting to the free throw line, and would give a serious boost to a bench that just doesn't show up to most games. I saw Matt Barnes play while he was a Warrior, and I would choose Corey Maggette over him, especially considering acquiring Maggette will not really hurt our current salary cap situation.

 

Any thoughts?
