TEAMS: Oklahoma City Thunder, Cleveland Cavaliers, Chicago Bulls
The Cleveland Cavaliers get Ben Wallace, Joe Smith, Wally Szczerbiak, Delonte West as part of a three-team trade including the Chicago Bulls and Seattle Sonics. The Cavs also get a 2009 second-round pick as part of the deal.
LeBron's supporting cast improves exponentially.
"Just a great trade for Cleveland... their offense immediately benefits from the additions West and Szczerbiak. West is an underrated true point guard that showed flashes of good skill in Boston last year before being buried on the bench in Seattle this season."

I don't think so. Ben Wallace may be better as a starting 4 who doesn't have to worry about scoring at all, but isn't that what Andy Varejeo is for (and he makes about $10 mil less and has just as cool hair).
Wally World can shoot the ball, and LBJ should get him tons of wide open shots, but the dude can't defend a lunchbox. If he starts at the 3, you force LeBron to be the lock down defender on the other team's top perimeter player. Sure, he's been doing that at the end of games already, but Larry Hughes would normally check the other team's best wing for 3 1/2 quarters.
I really like the pickups of Joe Smith and Delonte West. Smith can bring what Gooden was providing, and West is severely underrated (plus, he replaces the neck tats that Hughes took with him).
The deal's more of a shakeup than a real upgrade for the Cavs.
Sonics got 200 draft picks in the next few years, and dollars off their cap. Good way to build.
The Bulls are screwed. Gooden's a good pickup, but WTF? Larry Hughes? Larry Hughes? You bulls fans should get acquainted with http://heylarryhughespleasestoptakingsomanybadshots.com/
