Hopefully that's true. You can write Cleveland off if that's the case.

the great thing about this - Cleveland adds to their frontline and we can't rebound (outside of Dwight)

good going, Orlando. Way to keep up with the jonses.

Not really a blockbuster trade, big yes in the number of people but not big name/great player huge. Its more of a RadioShack trade.

i was thinking more along the lines of a holywood video trade. im not real big on it though. i dont think it really helps cleavland all that much. i dont see wally putting up numbers like he did in seattle playin with lebron. and i think gooden was better than wallace this year. i think the bulls win on this getting gooden and hughes

Are you kidding? Wally's numbers this year are all below his career averages. He comes of the bench in Seattle because they want to develop Durant. I don't see how playing with 7 apg Lebron would hurt his numbers. Lebron plays good with shooters around him that's why Gibson's been so good there.

The Magic win the most in this trade.
They now have to face Larry "Magic Killer" Hughes once more instead of twice

On the bright side, the Cavs gain pretty much nothing here, and might even get worse.
