I didn't think the Wizards would be willing to deal Jamison for basically nothing.
That's a phenomenal trade for Cleveland.
It allows them to go small with Varejao, Jamison, Lebron, West, and Williams, and if they want to go big they can do the following:
Ilgauskus/Shaq
Varejao
Jamison
Lebron
Williams/West
Plus, it gives you a crunch time lineup that allows you to take Varejao and Shaq off the court, who are either poor offensive players (Varejao) or defensive liabilities and poor FT shooters (Shaq).
Far better than dealing for Stoudemire, as you want to win right now, he's not a horrible defensive player, and his numbers weren't ridiculously elevated by Steve Nash.
Plus, he's not a soft bitch when it comes to rebounding.
