Wow... Dallas is certainly making a statement that they're the team to beat (possibly even over Boston, if Dirk can handle KG) ...<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

League says Stack can't go back, so that makes the trade even less likely (in its current form).

Cleveland is making a run for it. Chicago is throwing in the towel. Last-minute trade at the deadline gives sends Ben Wallace to the Cavaliers. Full details:
Cleveland gets:
Ben Wallace (Bulls)
Joe Smith (Bulls)
Wally Szczerbiak (Seattle)
Delonte West (Seattle)
2009 2nd-rounder (Chicago)
Chicago gets:
Larry Hughes (Cavs)
Drew Gooden (Cavs)
Cedric Simmons (Cavs)
Shannon Brown (Cavs)
Seattle gets:
Donyell Marshall (Cavs)
Ira Newbie (Cavs)
Adrian Griffin (Bulls)
The basic trade was swapping the big contracts of Wallace and Hughes. Looks to me like the Cavaliers made out like bandits. Cleveland gets a big man enforcer and a spot-up jump shooter to complement LeBron.
I figure the Bulls could hardly do worse, so WTF.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

I'm happy with the Wallace trade, as although Ben has nice hair and is a nice guy he hasn't been very useful for the Bulls. Joe Smith was nice, but he mostly filled a spot we have well covered anyway (PF) even if he was more of a normal PF rather than our other SF-PF-C hybrids (Thomas/Noah); and Griffin is the 11th or 12th man anyway.
If we actually keep Hughes/Gooden, this could be good in the long term. Hughes, when healthy, provides Ben Gordon with a foil, another strong shooter who can score when Ben's on a down night. We don't have the big-man-in-the-middle anymore, but we can play faster now.
Our lineup looks like:
PG: Hinrich/Duhon
SG: Hughes/Gordon
SF: Deng/Nocioni
PF/C: Gooden/Thomas/Noah with probably some Gray mixed in.
I certainly think Cleveland helped themselves the most out of this, but I don't think the Bulls were hurt by this in the least, and in some ways can be significantly helped by this. Especially if we're able to draft high this year and can take a strong real C, we could be in a very good position going into next year.<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

It's a shame Ben Gordon can't play the point. He will be traded, probably by draft day. The 2guard slot will be manned by Hughes and Sefolosha next year.

quietly improved themselves at little cost.

Apparently we didn't need Ben Wallace much... Bulls with just the original non-traded team (no ex-cavaliers played tonight) are up 11 on Denver with 1:00 remaining and have scored a season-high 130 points (over 100 before the 4th quarter!!)...
JR Smith has also made an absurd amount of 3 pointers, 7 in the 4th quarter and I think 10 for the game and over 40 points... that boy would shoot 4 pointers if they had them

The West is Incredible
New Orleans loses one game and they go from the number 1 seed to the number 5 seed. Amazing.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.
