DUMBEST TRADE OF THE PAST WEEK

Now I am sure that you are going over all of the deals over the past week, thinking about all of the big names that were dealt, but you are probably not thinking about the trade I am talking about: the Boston Celtics trading Semin Erden and Luke Hoosurmama uh...Harangody for the Cavaliers second round pick.

I don't get to say this often, maybe ever, but great move by the Cleveland Cavaliers. You get two young decently talented big men with two year contracts of half a million each for absolutely nothing. As for the Celtics, especially with the deal of Perkins, you could have Erden playing your starting center right now with Harangody helping out...even if he does look like he belongs on the special bus:

Instead you deal them for a future second round pick? Its not even for this year! Not like it matters. But I was baffled by this deal and searching for a possible reasoning. The only one I could find is the available free agents after the dust settles.

Troy Murphy may be on the market after a buyout, and maybe some other guys, but come on, you could develop these young guys under Garnett and make them "real" players like Glen Davis. I mean he is a grown man that is called "Big Baby" but that's beside the point. I like the way Erden played and Harangody was a hustle machine. Its unfortunate to see these guys go...especially to Cleveland.
