This wasnt the type of start that people expected. Delonte’s return should do a lot to help the team on both sides of the ball. Shaq has looked awful thus far in the season, out of shape, clogging up driving lanes on offense and not defending the pick and roll on defense and these things will continue to be a problem espically when they play the better teams.

But the slow start is now behind them, Hickson continues to improve on a nightly basis, Mo Williams has found his shot again. The Cavaliers missed out on Stephen Jackson but with Hickson playing the way he is, they might be willing to use Big Z’s expiring in a future deal, because i still think they are a piece of way from being the favorites in the east.

Trade idea 1 – Cavaliers trade Big Z to the Warriors for Monta Ellis… the Cavs and Warriors could throw Delonte West and Ronny Turiaf in the trade
Trade idea 2 – Cavaliers trade Delonte West, a resigned Wally Z and a first round pick to the Warriors for Monta Ellis
