The initial word that it was a straight up Ben Wallace for Larry Hughes swap. And that would have sent me ton a little bit of a tangent. (Or straight to GoDaddy to buy FireDannyFerry.com) Instead, what eventually shook down makes a little bit more sense. Kind of. The Cavaliers will get Wallace, Joe Smith and a future second round pick from the Bulls. They will also receive Wally Szczerbiak and Delonte West from the
So, your biggest question is ... w-t-f, Ferry? Why on good green Urf would Ferry cave and take on the monster salary of Wallace, even if he got to dump the 1.5 dimensional second option for LeBron James that never panned out in Hughes?
Word is that Cavs owner Dan Gilbert is infatuated by Big Ben and wanted him on the squad. Also, the presence of Szcerbs and West, in theory, make up for whatever loss Hughes actually is (he had been playing decently of late) and Wallace plus Smith should give them an inside presence on a team that, with LeBron on it, will make noise in the East.
The Bulls get out from under that hideous failure of a deal they gave Wallace and also add Gooden and two unearthed young talents in Ced Simmons and Brown (believe me on Ced, he's beasty, just raw). Hughes was just something they had to take to make the money right, and he's less painful than Wallace even if the Bulls have nowhere to put him.
For the Sonics, it's simple: cap space, cap space, cap space. Marshall and Griffin's contracts expire in two years and Newble's expires this year. In the end though, because the Sonics and Bulls are winners just by virtue of dumping bad contracts (for less bad contracts), the deal basically boils down to whether or not LeBron is happy. As usual. And that only happens if the people around him start producing.
