Cavs trade away to get James help

[Mass6]

Report on ESPN.com shows the Cavs get Ben Wallace, Wally Szerbiak, Joe Smith, Seattles PG for Gooden, Hughes, S.Brown, D.Brown, and Marshall. We'll see how that goes, at least now we don't have Hughes HUGE salary.

Looks like the PG from Seattle is Dleonte West. Chicago gets D&S Brown's and Gooden/Hughes, and Seattle gets Newble, Marshall, and Adrian Griffen. Looks good to me!!!

Huge trade- can't wait to see Big Ben Wallace running the floor at the Q!
We finally have a shooter in Szerbiak to take some pressure off LeBron. It's going to be fun to watch.

Finally a real power forward, gooden took to many plays off. Also getting rid of that stiff hughes because he sucked in coach browns system. Which is halfcourt basketball. To me hughes would be better in a phoenix type system. Hopefully some of the new guys pan out. I have only seen wally play alittle as well as joe smith. So maybe after some games with the new guys the others will adjust to there play. GO CAVS!!!!!:smile:

Wow!! I can't believe it. I am going to miss Marshall, Gooden and Hughes. They were really good players. It is hard to believe that this many players were being traded. The Cavs did very good last year with the guys that were on the team. With their recent loss games, hopefully the guys that they got will help pick up more wins than losses.

GO CAVS!!!!

Should be an interesting game tonight.
And the Massillon Cheerleaders will be cheering at the game tonight too.

I don't know the others well, but Ben Wallace should fit in with the Cavs.

Bottom line is with Varejao and Pavlovic injured the Cavs weren't getting as many wins as when those 2 are healthy, LeBron can't do it on his own all the time.Hughes, Gooden, and Marshall didn't step it up often enough to be a supporting cast - IMO.

My family will be there tonight in the stands watching the Massillon Cheerleaders and the newly revised edition of the Cavs -
GO CAVS

Hughes' Contract is actually about 8mil LESS than Wallace.

The moneys involved in this trade are about 1mil off BUT we lost around 8 years of contracts.

I think the biggest benefit of the trade is Delonte West. He's a true point guard who can defend and get to the basket. I also like the idea of having Wallace and Varajo (sp?) on the floor at the same time with Z, Lebron and West. The match up much better with Detroit and Boston now.

Gibson is out 4-6 weeks! :gasp:
