Trade: Mo Williams to Cavs, Mason/Smith to OKC, Donkey/Ridnour/Griffin to Bucks

[Wilfredo Ledezma]

Per RotoWorld...

3 team deal is close to finished...


Cleveland gets: Mo Williams (5 years, $43 million left on his contract, what an abortion that's gonna be on Cleveland's payroll)

Milwaukee gets: Luke Ridnour

Oklahoma City gets: either Delonte West (via S&T) and/or Joe Smith's expiring contract


I don't think this makes Cleveland any better (or worse). Mo Williams was outperformed by Ramon Sessions, and honestly, he's not much better (if at all) than Delonte West. Delonte's a much better defender than Mo Williams, while Mo's probably a better scorer...

Great move for Hammond. Get's some of that excess garbage off his payroll...now if he can unload Dan Gadzuric, he'll look like a pure genius.

[Wilfredo Ledezma]

Mo averaged 17/3/6 while shooting an abysmal 34%. Cleveland is arguably the most offensively challenged team in East, so if nothing else, this should put their scoring margin in the green again...

I think you have the Wrong Mo, because he shot 48 percent and is a very tough pg to guard. His 3 point percentage was 38 percent and 34 percent last year. Maybe thats where you got that from.

wil whats wrong with you today. Saying Iggy can't defend, now Mo can't score?

His two downsides are defense and staying healthy. But he can create his own shot w/o Lebron's help, something Gibson/West/Hughes all could not do. It's a great move for cleveland.

mo is an excellent scorer. hes got a good outside shot and is way better than delonte. delonte fucking sucks

[Wilfredo Ledezma]

(anybody who has seen him play knows he's an exceptional shooter in general and especially off the dribble, and pushes the break at a high speed which are both things Cleveland needs), i gotta wonder how much he's seen of either guy.

If Mo Williams was such an exceptional shooter, than Ramon Sessions must be Magic Johnson.

If Mo Williams was such an exceptional shooter, than why would Hammond give him away for pennies on the dollar?

The numbers are skewed, he hasn't played more than 68 games since 2004-05.

Mo Williams in Cleveland is the 2nd coming of Larry Hughes.

He's a good shooter, but the problem is he's a shooter. They want someone who's going to get open shots for guys like Richard Jefferson and Michael Redd, you know, someone like T.J. Ford

nono. mo williams has his injury problems, but he hasnt had a decent backup since sessions, and he showed up at the end of last year. hes been plagued with fatigue and injuries because he hasnt had a great backup since tj ford, and even then mo wasnt as good. he emerged as a good shooting pg becuse the bucks had no choice. he can go off for 30 a game if he was the first option. but being the 2nd/3rd option behind redd, mo gets you 17/6. hes a good point guard. but why is he being given away for nothing? the bucks could use a more pass first pg in sessions than mo. giving touches to rj redd and bogut and mkaing them all happy is going to be hard. a pg like mo can be the most easily replaced. see delonte. he doesnt demand alot of shots, can shoot the 3 and play deecent enough defense. mo also has a shitty ass contract so getting him off the books would be good. saying mo williams is the 2nd coming of hughes is stupid

[Wilfredo Ledezma]

yeah your right, larry hughes is a much better defender than mo williams

[Wilfredo Ledezma]

combined Joe Smith & Delonte West avg. 18 ppg during their time in Cleveland...so from a pure numbers stand point, they are giving up offense in the deal...

unless you think hickson or tarence kinsey will get the minutes to make a big impact...which is possible, i suppose hickson could be this years thad young

i still think the big move for cleveland won't come until feb. assuming it's a lock they deal Wally...

[Zekyl]

Unless Wally has a crazy resurgence, I don't see any reason they wouldn't deal his expiring contract to make LeBron happy.
