Ira Newble is NOT a scrub. You take that back right now.

[Buzz Killington]

How DARE you call Ira Newble a scrub! You should have your mouth scrubbed with soap for saying such dirty lies.

90% of the players on Cleveland are scrubs. Im surprised they won so many games by riding LeBron's shoulders. Kid needs some help and Ira Newble doesnt do squat

YOu're lucky I don't have any power here. I'd have you banned.

Hope that Cleveland trade is true. Mike Miller and Kyle Lowry would help a lot.

Ira Newble isn't a scrub.
Raef Lafrentz, that guy is a scrub.

I don't give two shits about the NBA but even I know Ira Newble is the equivalent of God.

The Cleveland Cavaliers appear to have beaten the NBA's annual trade buzzer to get LeBron James some of the fresh help he's been openly craving.

In a three-way, 11-player trade with Chicago and Seattle that has been submitted for league approval, NBA front-office sources say that Cleveland will come away with four new teammates for James, headlined by Ben Wallace from the Bulls and sharpshooter Wally Szczerbiak from the Sonics.

The league office was notified of the deal before Thursday's 3 p.m. ET trading deadline, sources said, and is currently reviewing the trade details as required for formal approval.

After Cleveland watched two longstanding trade targets land elsewhere -- Mike Bibby in Atlanta and Jason Kidd in Dallas -- sources say that the deal calls for the Cavaliers to receive Wallace, Szczerbiak, Seattle point guard Delonte West, Chicago's Joe Smith and a future second-round pick from the Bulls.

The Bulls, apparently abandoning their gamble on Wallace less than two seasons into the lucrative four-year deal they used to sign him away from Detroit, would get Cavaliers forward Drew Gooden and swingman Larry Hughes along with Cavs reserves Cedric Simmons and Shannon Brown.

The Sonics, shedding Szczerbiak in the name of additional payroll flexibility, come away with the expiring contracts of Cleveland's Ira Newble and Chicago's Adrian Griffin as well as Cavs veteran Donyell Marshall.

You're all forgetting Ira Newble got traded to Seattle. He's the most important mover of the day.
