The Lakers accept. We really like the hustle than James offered, but basically trading 3 very late 2nds for a guy like Delfino was too good to pass up
Cleveland accepts. After trading ourselves out of future drafts, we are now looking to find our way back into them. Also, we need to unload roster spots.

Portland sends:
Martell Webster - $4.8m
2013 1st
for
Courtney Lee - $1.3m
James Singleton - $900k
Jarron Collins - $900k
Josh Powell - $900k
The deal works.
Why for Portland? With Pierce and Turkoglu on the books, Martell Webster was surplus to requirements and playing out of position. Lee is a talented young SG who has range to his game and is also good friends with Dwight, whom he played greatly alongside in his first year. It balances the roster out nicely.
Cleveland accepts. Same reason as the other trade.
