idk, who is the best swingman avail in the d league? seems to me we could use a 2/3 till sasha comes back. Birdman if his head is right isnt a bad thought. pj brown?

I love this trade. We get 4 productive players who will contribute immediatly to our team in different ways and we get rid of our weak link in Gooden. West is a very good player who is only 24 and fits perfectly with our team. We have 10 productive players on our team now, James, Zydrunas, Wally, Gibson, West, Varejao, Wallace, Smith, Pavlovic and Brown.

Couldsomebody tell me what your rotation might look like with your new roster? I'm editing my 2k8 rosters and am really confused about who will start at point and shooting guard. -thanks

I think west is already better at the point than anyone on the roster. I think sasha will start when healthy over wally. though wally gives an outside shot that sasha doesnt. he may start just to give the team that, and boobie off the bench to bring the 3 to the second unit.

I doubt Gibson starts. My money is still on West to start for the Cavs

I will miss you big guy :cry:

I think gibson is better off the bench. put wally in as the starter with west and you have two guys who can hit the three. then you can bring in boobie off the bench, and i think smith is a good outsided shooter so the second unit has some scoring as well.

Nice trade and GM work. This Piston fan living in Orlando will look forward to a fun series come playoff time (either team). I hope to see some games on NBATV with your new lineup.

The thing I don't like is I've always disliked Delonte, Wally and Ben

i guess this will show just how good a leader lebron is. If he can get Big Ben motivated and not sulking he'll be a tremendous help. If not and he plays like in Chicago he'll be mroe useless then Hughes.

"Quit picking on those big guys Delonte!"

Congrats guys, this is a great trade for the Cavs. Ilgauskas, Varejao, and Ben Wallace is a good front line in any conference. I thought Hughes contract was pretty much untradable, but Ben Wallace was in pretty much the same predicament. I take Wallace over Hughes any day of the week because he's an iron man and he plays hard every night.

Delonte is solid on both ends and he's worthy of a starting job on a contending team. I think Delonte will become a better overall player/general with the guidance of Eric Snow; though obviously he's already a better scorer than Snow ever was. Wally will be a big gun for you guys too. Though, I think Devin Brown or Pavlovic (whenever he gets back) should get the starting spot.

There's no doubt you guys just became an even better defensive team and a better offensive team. Good trade for the future. A couple good moves this summer like signing a Pietrus or Kurt Thomas with part of the mle and drafting a solid big like Kevin Love would be another good step for the future.

This is where you're off, this was one of my biggest hopes of Wallace to Chicago, and had been one of my biggest disappointments. I wrongfully assumed otherwise with the big weightlifting guy who refers to himself as 'body'. He's a woman in this department.

Ben can wear a headband again. He will be more motivated. LOL

By the way, don't the NBA schedule makers suck? How can we not have played you guys, a division opponent, once yet? Meanwhile we've played the Knicks 4 times
