Lets just examine his last few deals, piecemeal then the net in/out:

1) Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden, Shannon Brown, Cedric Simmons, Donyell Marshall and Ira Newble for Joe Smith, Delonte West, Ben Wallce and Wally

2) Damon Jones & Joe Smith for Mo WIlliams

3) Ben Wallace & Sasha for Shaq

4) Z & first for Jamisnon

Out:
A bunch of trash

In:
Shaquille Oneal
Mo WIlliams
Delonte West
Antwan Jamison

We really didnt even give up either Joe Smith or Z either as both (assuming in Z's case) returned to the Cavs after the trades.

He's made some other killer moves in his time here:
-Lee Nailon for a second round pick that turned into Boobie Gibson
-Tony Battie for Drew Gooden and Anderson Varejao
-All of the contracts he has signed people to have been team friendly (yes even Varejao's)

This guy kills fools in trades.

How has Danny Ferry not been thrown in jail yet?

What's funny is that Ferry has pretty much accomplished exactly what Isiah and the Knicks attempted to do. Use their capspace to bring in talent.

Ferry's done a good job but Gilbert's pocketbook has also been a big factor.

BTW, Bmac, it was Paxson that made the trade for Varejao after he lost Boozer.

Damn, you're right.

Danny Ferry had to get a deal done. I have been very critical of a lot of Ferry's move, but this is a home run Cavs fans. If Big Z comes back to Cleveland, you gave up nothing to get a #2 guy. No one should be upset that we did not get Amare because the Jamison move was better for the present and the future. That the Cavs did not have to give up JJ Hickson is huge. This team just got so much more versatile offensively and defensively.

For tonight, celebrate Cleveland. There is plenty to feel good about. GO CAVS!!

Congrats on up coming GM of the Year.

So in the last 16 hrs can he turn make something out of nothing and turn Wally into a wing?

When it comes to trades, Ferry is a machine. He also seems pretty solid at drafts - Hickson at #18, Gibson in the 2nd round, Green in the 2nd round, even Shannon Brown has proven to be a solid player. Eyenga also looked like a decent prospect in summer league.

He is a little generous with contracts/free-agents, but that is really my only criticism of him.

As a GM Ferry is the complete opposite of what he was as a player...

To bad I will always remember Ferry for the Boozer move first.

That was Paxson.

Yeah, that's really too bad, especially when Hughes was his first move...like two years after Boozergate.

Easy to make just about any team or player look good when 'Bron is on your team. If/when he bolts to NY with another major player, it's game over for the Cavs and any other team in the East for the next 6-8 years. THAT'S when Ferry will earn his money......
