Being used as trade bait to get Ben Wallace was the best thing he could do for the Cavaliers. Szerbiak can be a huge assett if he can continue to shoot with the same kind of accruacy. Donyell Marshall was supposed to do that, but he was way too inconsistent. As a side note, didnt Ben Wallace go to Cuyahoga Community College?

The big question is whether Wallace/Wally/West can regain the production they've had in the past with more consistent minutes in Cleveland (or in Wallace's case, just a better/happier situation). Only then will I give Cleveland '#2 in the East' status. BUT - you're absolutely right, this drastically improves the Cavs even if the new guys simply maintain their current production. You really can't overstate how important it was to get rid of Hughes. Unbelievable. Sorry, but Boston is not only the best team in the East, but the best team in the league (see WoW).

We are very escited about Wallace coming to the Cavs, will wait in hops the others pan out. I was beginining to think that the season tickeys we bought for next year was a waste.
