It definitely depends on what Wallace can offer. Will he be rejuvenated
playing under Brown and with James like I suspect or is he just washed up?
It appears that Cleveland is trying to match up with Detroit. West matches
up defensively with Billups in terms of size and a motivated Wallace is a
much better defensive option against Detroit's bigs than the flaky Gooden.
Defense wins in the playoffs and Cleveland just got a whole bunch better
defensively assuming Wallace is healthy.
On offense, as you point out, with the offense running through James,
Sczerbiak and West should find wide open looks thus enabling them to do what
they do best on that end of the floor.
Smith is a nice veteran big to bring off the bench in certain matchup
situations.
