Sean (Cleveland, OH): There are rumors that the Cavs are in discussions for a blockbuster trade. Which team are they in discussions with and will the deal happen?
Chad Ford: (1:08 PM ET ) I saw that. I question whether they have enough pieces to make a blockbuster. I seriously doubt it. The skeptic in me says that GM Danny Ferry is trying to get the word out that he's trying his best. He's getting killed in Cleveland right now for inaction. He is trying to make deals, but when you don't have a lot to work with ... it's tough. If they get a player like Delonte West or Wally Szczerbiak or something ... that might be a small help ... but not a blockbuster. BTW, I spoke with a GM this week that said, if the Cavs had just one more star type player, he thought the Cavs would be the favorites to win it all. That's how good LeBron has become.
Chad Ford: (1:19 PM ET ) Hold on a second ... have to take this call on a possible trade ...
Ryan, Chicago: Please tell me Ben Wallace is on the move
Chad Ford: (1:24 PM ET ) Maybe ... call was about Ben Wallace in a possible deal with the Cavs. I've got to stress that it was from what I'd call a third party source ... not someone directly involved in the negotiations. So ... take it with a grain of salt ... but interesting ...
Chad Ford: (1:25 PM ET ) The deal as I heard it ... by the way ... had Drew Gooden, Ira Newble, Shannon Brown and Cederic Simmons coming back to Chicago.

Why Ben Wallace? Do we think Andy is going to be out that long? Granted, we would lose only Gooden's offense in that trade, but we're getting absolutely none back.
The only player on Chicago I'd think we go after is Heinrich, and I doubt he's available.

Totally agree about Ben Wallace. Do not want another Paxson to screw up the Cavs again.
But I am starting to believe that Ferry is stoking the trade rumors for about everyone so there is tons of smoke out there. I think he just wants it to appear to LeBron that he tried everything he could do give him help this year.

I do think the people killing Ferry about not making any moves are idiots.
What can he do if we have NOTHING that people want. Gooden is basically are only trade asset at this time. Next year is when Ferry has to prove something to the fans.

Where you going? NOWHERE!
Agreed somewhat. Sooner or later he needs to do something because LeBron will be gone. But, it has been proven that he has gone after a lot of the players being shopped. It might take the balls to get rid of Gibson or Hughes but it needs to happen sometime.Napoleonbuck;1097711; said:

SportsNation Chad Ford: (2:03 PM ET ) I'm getting lots of phone calls now ... sorry for delays. One source says the hold up in a Chicago-Cavs deal is that Cleveland wants Chicago to take back Larry Hughes and Drew Gooden for Ben Wallace, Joe Smith and Duhon. I can't really see the Bulls doing that. Hughes has two years, $26 million left on his contract and where do the Bulls play him?
