I don't remember this exchange, but I will admit I was wrong. Clearly I had not seen enough of Shawn Marion to make that call. I view him as a great defender and all around player.

I think we will miss Joe Smith and I would have rather seen someone else go in that deal. He has been very consistent and If I was the cavs I would be more stoked over getting smith than wallace. Wallace seriously is a shell of what he once was. Even with better players around him I still don't see him returing to form. I don't see how he is going to play well with big z either. Not to mention varajeo. The cavs now have to offensivly challenged big men who are pretty much there for rebounding and defense. At this stage in his career I would take av over wallace. At least I know the passion for the game is still there with AV. I think Gooden will be good for the bulls. HE will give this team some post play which we desperatly need. Hughes also adds size to our very small backcourt. Although I've never been a fan of his and wasn't to thrilled to see him coming to chicago. HE can't shoot for shit. 37 percent from a 2 guard???? C'mon... He can defend of course but he is also so injury ready. I think shanon brown might be something special given playing time. He averages 7ppg in just 14 minutes. Imagine that production in a starters role.
