Why the fuck did anyone take Larry Hughes?
WOW!

Clearly Chicago felt Hughes filled a need. He's a jumpshooter who can't make jumpshots.
...Wait.
we lost to an inferior Cavs team before...
Zekyl is SO excited.
probably means ben gordon is a FA.
interesting times, SnT or MLE? i bet MLE.
We could always use more teams that are perceived as being better than us.
Not to be rude, but as much as Larry Hughes was probably the most overpaid player in the league (although Ben Wallace is probably #2 on that list), he was their best perimeter defender, Wally Szczerbiak has a poor, below-average defensive game (can you say "field day" for Rip Hamilton or Ray Allen??) Not to mention he's a poor passer as well.
And when Big Ben's on the floor, it will allow other teams to focus more on LeBron because God knows you don't have to respect Ben Wallace's offensive game...or lack thereof...
Lateral move. Cavs are no better than they were before this trade was made.
larry hughes is a pussy, his game doesnt mesh w/ lebron's, and i believe he is overrated defensively.
lebron will get ben easy baskets. i bet ben plays his best as a non-piston with the cavs. drew gooden wasnt worth anything prior to lebron, and he wont be afterwards either.
hes the big loser in this trade. he has his contract coming after next year. just enough time to be exposed.

They're defense took a hit with this move today...Szczerbiak won't be able to do JACK SHIT Vs. teams like Boston, Detroit, or even Orlando (Hedo can eat him up)...
Just got back and heard about the trade. I'm pissed.
Cleveland just got a lot better. And for nothing. The other teams involved in this trade must have a vendetta against the Pistons, because that's the only way anyone pulls the trigger outside of Cleveland. Larry Hughes has the worst contract in the NBA, and someone took it. They got a legit post up man in Joe Smith, a guy who is motivated to rape the Pistons in Wallace, a legit guard in West, and a decent player in Wally.
And all they had to give up was fucking Hughes, Gooden, Marshall and Ira Newble (Shannon Brown doesn't count as an NBA player).
Fuck this trade.
