The Cavaliers looked pretty good in their debut with the new squad. After winning on friday with only 8 players due to the trade, they had another win against Memphis Grizzlies yesterday. Of course Lebron James had a superb game with 25-7-11. Even Ben Wallace, possibly the most uneffective offensive player had decent stats with 12-10. Joes Smith and Wally Szczerbiak came off the bench for 14 and 10. Delonte West had 5 points, but doubled has season assist average with 6 assist which included a sick alley-oop to King James.
At first, I was curious to see if this trade would work. It didn't seem like the trade really helped James and the Cavs. They added two veteran big men and a guard who can shoot but can't defend well and another that was seldom used in Seattle. I was wrong. They all molded together pretty fast. West will handle the point guard and relieve James with his ability to shoot. Wally will come off the bench to strech defenses. Smith, who is a versatile forward will also come off bench and provide another scoring option. Lastly, Wallace will provide the Cavaliers with the veteran leadership and experience he has. Also, he will bring that nasty defense and great rebounding.
Watch out for the Cavaliers. They are going to make a playoff push and possibly another run to the finals!
