Antawn Jamison traded to the Cavs

Before the trade rumors emerged surrounding Amare Stoudemire, the Cleveland Cavaliers were said to be interested in acquiring Antawn Jamison. For years, he was a thorn in the side of the Cavs, now he is just one of their many weapons. He had grown to become one of the key players on a potent Washington Wizards team. But, the Wiz have struggled for two seasons and they decided to rebuild. Josh Howard is their future, so Jamison is a part of their past.

It turns out that Clevleand was never as interested in Stoudemire as many reports tried to say that they were. From the beginning, the team's first choice was to acquire Antawn Jamison. Now, they have their man. It has been said that since this deal has gone through that the Cavaliers have no interest in Stoudemire.

Other players involved in this deal include Drew Gooden, who did not want to play for the Wizards. He was dealt to the Clippers meanwhile Sebastain Telfair was dealt to the Cavs. Washington will receive longtime Cavalier, Zydrunas Ilgauskus, Al Thornton, Brian Skinner, and a first round pick from Cleveland. This deal should provide LeBron James with the sidekick that he has so desperately wanted. If not, Danny Ferry has proved before that he is willing to dismantle the team to appease their star.
