The one thing the Cavs desperately needed was someone who could score 1 on 1 when they had the ball in their hands, and Mo Williams can do that pretty well.

New Lineups

Cleveland Cavaliers
5) Zydrunas Ilgaskus/Anderson Varejao/Sasha Kaun/Lance Allred
4) Ben Wallace/JJ Hickson/
3) LeBron James/Tarence Kinsey/
2) Wally Szszerbiak/Aleksander Pavlovic/Billy Thomas
1) Maurice Williams/Daniel Gibson/Eric Snow

Milwaukee Bucks
5) Andrew Bogut/Francisco Elson/Dan Gadzuric
4) Charlie Villanueva/Malik Allen/
3) Richard Jefferson/Joe Alexander/Luc Mbah a Moute
2) Michael Redd/Charlie Bell/Adrian Griffin
1) Luke Ridnour/Ramon Sessions/Tyronn Lue/Damon Jones

Oklahoma City
5) Nick Collison/Johan Petro/Mouhamed Sene
4) Chris Wilcox/DJ White/Joe Smith/Donyell Marshall
3) Jeff Green/Damien Wilkins/
2) Kevin Durant/Desmond Mason/Kyle Weaver
1) Earl Watson/Russell Westbrook/

Cleveland fills a need and still has pieces to make another upgrade.

Milwaukee does save money but if they want to win now then Ridnour isn't a good fit.

Presti is rebuilding that team very well. This opens up playing time for Westbrook. I just hope they waive Joe so he can sign with the Lakers.

Good trade for everyone... especially the Cavs.

wow, this is like Joe 'Jouyneyman' Smith's 10th team - he didn't even last a full season in Chicago or Cleveland!

i recall him laughing on the bench during a Bulls blowout loss last season and people wondered what kind of competetive attitude he has. how much will he be laughing when that team is getting hammed on a nightly basis?


and Adrian Griffins 8th team in like 9 seasons - he couldn't even get playing time on a brutal Bulls squad last season when Gordon and Hinrich were out. amazing this guy keeps showing up on an NBA roster. someone please offer him a job coaching an NBADL team and let some other kid who has potential get on an NBA roster.

I think anyone should like to have Adrian Griffin on their team, he's a solid, tough, smart experienced role-player who plays team basketball. Brings the intangibles well. The Bucks needed more of all that stuff on their team, with the kind of team they've had most recently.

I see people complain about a bunch of players not playing defense? Well, Adrian Griffin plays defense.

I think its only Joe's 9th team. BUT Damon Jones has been on 10 teams, but this is his second stint in Milwaukee. Cleveland was the first team he played longer than a year on, though.
