On ESPN they just announced that Larry Hughes could be coming to Chicago for Ben Wallace and Chris Duhon. What are your thoughts on this trade?
They said the players have no been notified yet, so it's not a done deal, but it is close to becoming offical. They have 40 minutes to get things done. |

Check this out.... from ESPN regarding the other possible Cleveland trade
Two of my most plugged-in sources say that the big trade Cleveland is pursuing, as our good friend Brian Windhorst warned us about in his Akron Beacon Journal blog, is a multi-player exchange that would bring Ben Wallace to the Cavs. We have not been apprised that any deal is close or received a reliable read on the Bulls' level of interest, but we have been assured that it is being discussed: Wallace and teammates Chris Duhon and Joe Smith heading to Cleveland in exchange for a package headlined by Drew Gooden ... and Larry Hughes. It could also be done with several other Cavs in Hughes' place, so we'll have to see if the Bulls simply pass, push for an alternative scenario or accept Hughes and allow Cleveland to proceed to Part 2. Cleveland's other 11th-hour Cleveland trade target to hearten LeBron James, after Jason Kidd and Mike Bibby landed elsewhere, is Seattle's Wally Szczerbiak, who holds appeal for LeBron's Cavs as a dead-eye shooter and as a college-ball legend in Ohio. It appears that the Cavs' preference is scoring Wallace first and then trying to add Szczerbiak. But the Cavs' usual obstacle -- they have only three expiring contracts (Ira Newble, Devin Brown and Shannon Brown) totaling not even half of the $13.3 million owed Wally next season to package with Donyell Marshall -- make a successful play for Wally difficult even if the Wallace stuff doesn't go any farther. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/stor...radeTalk-080221 |

Go to ESPN News and look at the bottom right corner....it says Cleveland, Chicago and Seattle in 10 player trade. I love it!!!!!! Thank You Pax!!!!!!
We have a legit low post scorer in Gooden and Hughes and Simmons arent bad either but Gooden is the diamond in this one. I hate losing Joe Smith but we really needed a low post scorer and we got one. Thank You God!!!! |
