I think Cleveland upgraded its talent overall but not enough to warrant taking on that much in salary. Losing Gooden was a big blow but maybe Wallace will be re-energized for at least the rest of the season/playoffs. Wally Sippin' On Some Sizzurp can shoot and isn't horrible at creating his own shot. He is an upgrade over Hughes if only because Hughes makes Rafer look like Reggie Miller. West is the real gem for Cleveland in this deal.
this is an interesting deal....i sort of like it from cleveland's standpoint actually. maybe it's just because i really hate larry hughes' game---in my opinion, the dude is garbage. we'll see though--gooden is good for the bulls low post game, which is what theyre missing. i can't wait to see how it all works out. by the way, how bad does that tyson chandler deal look for the bulls? atrocious.
The most cracking smokingest team in all this is the Sonics. Are they Lebron fans or what, why the hell would they give them Delonte West? Commissioner Stern must have ensured Sonics of a clean move if they gave League-Bron some more help.
