At last! Lebron James can finally turn the ball handling duty to Maurice Williams, who was acquired in a 6-player, 3 team trade with the Milwaukee Bucks and Oklahoma City.
The Cavs parted with Damon Jones who is now with the Bucks and Joe Smith which is now with Oklahoma. Oklahoma also receieved Desmond Mason and a No. 1 pick from Cleveland while the Bucks have Luke Ridnour and Adrian Griffin. But more importantly, the trade made the Cavs better and Lebron at least satisfied for now.
Haters cannot say anymore that Lebron is a ball hog! (I don’t know why they’re pushing this argument in some forums! Who do they want to handle the ball anyway, Ben Wallace? Damon Jones? WTF!) With Mo Williams providing needed outside threat, Lebron and even Z can have more scoring or in Lebron’s case easier shots because of Mo’s presence in the offensive end. They now also have a floor general that can run and set the tempo of the game, depending on the needs of the team as Williams is a very versatile player in offense and can create his own shot which the Cavs lack aside from Lebron and probably Gibson.
Cavs fan will doubt Mo’s ability to defend! But when you have a good defensive-oriented system which is present in the Cavs, every player can be an effective and active defender (This is why I can’t understand why the Rockets settled for Artest when they’re already an excellent defensive team). Besides, Mike Brown will try to hide Mo’s deficiency in the defensive end, with an overall team defensive effort.
Cavs fan are now extremely happy, but more importantly Lebron James is satisfied for the moment because management did a good job in trading for Maurice Williams!
