LeBron James may finally be getting the help he has been asking for.
ESPN.com is reporting that the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Chicago Bulls and the Seattle SuperSonics have completed a massive 11-player trade that would dramatically shake up the reigning Eastern Conference champions.
The Cavaliers will reportedly receive centre Ben Wallace, guard Wally Szczerbiak, point guard Delonte West, forward Joe Smith and a future second-round pick from the Bulls.
The Bulls would receive forward Drew Gooden, guard Larry Hughes, and reserves Cedric Simmons and Shannon Brown.
The Sonics, looking for greater payroll flexibility would take back Ira Newble, Adrian Griffin and Donyell Marshall.

I can't confirm but I heard that the Sonics are leaving Seattle. What a crying shame. Apparently they wanted a new stadium with help from public funds. Only the current stadium was built like 10 years ago! This is all coming from my Seattle friend so I can't confirm, but if it's true, that's horseshit! I empathasize a lot with Seattle and its teams. They seem to suffer from the same affliction as Vancouver-based teams.PaulNem wrote:I've been out of the NBA loop for a while it seems.

I felt really bad for the Sea Hawks when they absolutely got SCREWED in the Super Bowl a few years back (against the Steelers). That was seriously one of the worst officiated and biased refereeing in all of sports. Absolutely disgraceful behavior displayed by those refs.rockalt wrote:PaulNem wrote:hoopsjunky wrote: They seem to suffer from the same affliction as Vancouver-based teams.

Ah, but 10 years later, and it's looking a wee bit better!
Same building though.
