    This is silly, but at least according to RealGM,
    works:

    Houston trades:

    Cuttino Mobley

    Houston receives:

    1st Round Draft Pick #13
    2nd Round Draft Pick #34
    Sam Cassell


    Milwaukee trades:

    1st Round Draft Pick #13
    2nd Round Draft Pick #34
    Sam Cassell

    Milwaukee receives:

    Cuttino Mobley

    Reason Houston does it:

    Obtains #13 draft pick to ship off to Memphis
    to complete Francis deal. Swaps one fan
    favorite for another, to form a backcourt in
    which both guards are capable of playing both
    positions. Adds a high second round pick in a
    deep draft.

    Reason Milwaukee does it:

    Breaks up unhealthy team chemistry, and gets
    rid of biggest complainer. Gets proven scorer
    who can play alongside either Allen or Robinson,
    or can be a springboard for further trades.

    I know it's silly, but it popped into my
    head, and it's more amusing to me than comparing
    Yao Ming to second century military figures.

    So who is going to play PG for the Bucks? Alston? Yep, this was silly and I'm trying to up my post count.

    Cassel's Money is that little

    I would not have thought the salaries would match

    At this point in Cassell's career, he needs a team to be centered around him.

    Yes your post was silly, I am sure that Steve would not like that. And while the franchise should not try to appease his every whim they should respect some things and also why would you age our team like that Cat's better and younger as good as Cassell is.

    Actually, Francis and Cassel are close friends. They own a clothing store business along with Nick Van Exel. I still would do the trade, though.

    What issue would this trade address?
