The Cavs gained two things, at least, from their mega trade.

1. Playoff experience in Ben Wallace. He has won a championship as a role player. He also can be an enforcer if any team takes liberties with LeBron.

2. Confidence. GM Danny Ferry showed the team that winning a title now, not in a year or two, is a priority. And despite these guys getting paid millions to play, a show of commitment from the front office does motivate pro players in any sport. Want a good example, look at last night's game. Only having two starters and eight total players, they beat the Wizards.

I think this trade should be judged in the playoffs, but at first blush, this was a good one.
