Let's say that the Cavs can't land Jefferson, Carter, Camby, Jamison, or anybody else.  Would they do this deal:

Cleveland trades:  Wally Sczerbiak ($13,775,000) + $3 million

Oklahoma City trades: Joe Smith ($4,795,000) +  Wilcox ($6,750,000)

The difference between Wally and Smith + Wilcox is $2.23 million.  The $3 million cash from Cleveland would make up that difference, and put around $750,000 in OKC's pocket.  Would the Cavs do this?  It serves the dual purposes of bolstering Cleveland's front court while also weakening the Celtics.

Would they?  I know I would.  But can they?  No.  They can't reaquire Joe Smith, since they traded him away already this year.

When did that happen?  Antoine was gone for a year and a half before the C's traded for him.

Ah, true.  The trade happened subsequent to the beginning of the league year.  So much for that idea, then.
