  You will get little or no offense from Big Bum, his defensive skills are fading and I don't think Wally Z is the player to compliment LeBron. I think Dan Gilbert was interested in Wallace 2 years ago. Good luck.

  C-Ilgauskus, PF-Smith, SF-James, SG-Sczerbiak, PG-Gibson

  Make all the trades you want. Nobody will match Kobe and the Lakers... particularly when it comes to Kobe's elite sense of style.

  They are gearing up for another conference title run and they have the cast to keep up with Boston. Great deal!

  I like it. Mostly because LeBron asked for something to happen and Ferry made it happen. Keep LeBron happy!

  The Bulls still don't have a superstar on their team. They do have alot of players they can package together to make a trade next offseason to get that superstar player they need. A good move for Da Bulls.

  Adding Wally World and West is huge for the Cavs. Plus, if Wallace can bring back even half of what he was in Detroit, the Celtics have a huge problem on their hands.

  The biggest trade in the history of the NBA that accomplishes nothing for any team involved. None of these teams took a step closer to winning the trophy. I think this was a trade made by Ferry to appease LeBron and make it appear that they attempted to do something. The biggest piece that the Cavs needed was an experienced point guard and they couldn't swing a deal. Garbage moved from one team to the next.

  Umm, props to Ferry for having the stones to make a big move, but does this really make the Cavs that much better? Does it make them good enough to beat Detroit and Boston?
  
  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/

  Wow, can't believe that they shipped Ben Wallace after two years. The Bulls are really falling apart.
