This move gives Cleveland some new offensive weapons in Wally Szczerbiak, and Joe Smith but this transaction really revolves around the other two players Ben Wallace and Delonte West. Wallace was having a terrible season in Chicago, the team blamed it on bad feet, my sources told me bad team. Ben basically was not inspired, and not playing with the enthusiasm he needed to do his job correctly, and that has historically been being among the top rebounders in the Association.

Although his shot selection could have been a lot better, he did dish off 6 assists, as did starting back court mate Devin Brown. That’s 12 assists from your starting back court it’s been a long time since we have seen that on a Cleveland team.?
