According to the Bucks forum it has been quoted on milwalkee radio a deal has been done.

deal is-

OKC trades Luke Ridnour and Adrian Griffin
recieves-Joe smith and okc homeboy Des Mason

MIL trades Mo Williams
recieves Luke Ridnour,Damon Jones and Adrian Griffin

CAVS trade Joe Smith and Damon Jones
recieves Mo Williams

If this is true its an excellent deal by Presti .Expiring OKC native swingman Mason good for home faithful and vet Smith who also an expiring.

Im mad jealous. Desmond won the slam dunk contest with the sonics the dude is high energy and way fun to watch! Plus, he did go to oklahoma state, some local ties there. As for smith, we need power forward help if Collison is going to play C this year. Solid move. Now you have Kyle Weaver, a cougar, who I wanted drafted by us and up here in seattle to watch play. You drafted my favorite players in the draft aside from rose, (Westbrook, Ibaka, which I scouted pretty early and posted on the boards.)

Man you guys are looking damn good for the future. Wilcox could learn a thing or two from smith.

So do you think Mason will start, allowing Durant to slide to the 3? This team may end up surprising some people, kind of like the Hornets did their first year year.

Cavs fan here. You guys got a very good vet in Joe Smith. Though he was only in Cleveland a couple of months, he was a very consistent player, with great post moves. Thats it, over here we are siked about Mo.

Pretty nice pickup for you guys, Dez was great for the Hornets when all our guys got hurt, averaged 15pts a game. Has no jumpshot, but will post up most SG's and of course will get the fans out of their seats on fast breaks.

Nice job by Presti in finding a taker for Ridnour. You guys will have a ton of cap room for the next two years before Durant comes up for his extension.

I am pretty pumped about Desmond Mason coming back. He is all but an Okie at heart and hopefully he finishes his career here. One of my buddies from college lived next door to D-Mace while he was here with the Hornets. He really is a down to earth kind of guy. Actually his house is still for sale here so he might as well just take the house off the market and move back in!
