Griffin, not Duhon.. I really don't think this is going to change much for Cleveland's chances.

I mean I like West, but Cleveland needed a PG... not a center like Wallace... interesting to see Z/Wallace together...
Cleveland is now deep at the 4/5 with Varejao, Z, Wallace, and Smith

The Cavs are so pathetic. Such a terrible deal. I really just hope LeBron leaves, or they clean house, because this deal sucks, like all their others moves have of late.

Only winners are seattle, they achieved what they wanted which was dump Sczerbiak's salary.

They're going to have a really exciting core pretty soon.
Durant-Green-Beasley?
Rose-Durant-Green?
Mayo-Durant-Green?

I'm a Cavs fan (well kinda, I'm a Bron fan) and I'm unsure about this. Not sure how much better they would be after doing this move.

Chicago and Cleveland basically trade their overpaid players to one another (Wallace and Hughes). Seattle gives up good backup in West but it's well worth it to free themselves from Wally. |

I wonder what all of the cavs salaries are because inheriting Wallace's contract can't be too cap friendly to resign Lebron.
I just don't get how this helps them out with Z and Varjeo?

As a Cavs fan I love this. We NEEDED to make a deal. It's not as if we could get in any worse trouble financially.

You were a Cavs fan before LeBron? How the hell were you attracted to the miserable Cleveland Cavaliers prior to LBJ? I don't believe it.

Up until then, I had no connection or affiliation with any team, I just loved watching certain players. I can't just support a team based on where I live/was born so the only other way to do so was by picking a player who I liked and following his team. If LeBron got traded/signed by another team, I'd still follow Cleveland. He was simply my connection to an NBA team. |

As a Cavs fan, I really do love this trade. But the reason I like it so much isn't because of Ben really, but because of what Wally and West bring to the table on offense. Both can stretch the floor and we needed a PG and I'm happy with West there. The Cavs should be very deep once they get healthy and get Gibson, Varejao, and Pavlovic back. At full health, I can see the following being the Cavs' starting lineup:
C-Z/Varejao
PF-Wallace/Smith
SF-Lebron
SG-Pavlovic/Wally/Gibson
PG-West/Gibson/Jones
Looking at potential playoff runs, I love what this team can bring to the table now. I'm hoping for another exciting run through the East.
