Cleveland just got a lot better. They traded Zydranus Ilgauskas and his 11million dollar expiring contract to Washington for Antwain Jamison who has the same salary. This adds a power scorer to the lineup while giving up nothing. Anderson Varejo has been the backup at both power forward and center. This will continue. Hickson's minutes may decrease, but he is still developing so that is ok. The first pick won't matter if they win the title. Also acquired is Sebastian Telfair an up and down career since joining the NBA. They have point guard injuries so that is an added bonus.

In the first big move of the tradeseason, Portland acquired Marcus Camby from the Los Angelos Clippers for Steve Blake and Travis Outlaw. This was a great move for the Trailblazers. They have had a huge hole vacated by injuries to Joel Pryzbilla and Greg Oden. Juwon Howard has filled in very well and Camby gives them the second best rebounder in the game inside. Losing Blake will hurt some, but not as much as they gain from Camby. Andre Miller has played very well at point guard and youngser Bayliss has shown he can be an effective backup. They won't miss Outlaw. He has been out since November with a broken foot and is to return soon. Portland holds the 8th sot in the playoffs.
