Cleveland Cavaliers Get Antawn Jamison Should We Give Them The Title Now?  

I agree. Jamison is a key acquisition like Gasol to the Lakers. This solidifies Cleveland's offense...

The only thing now is for Cleveland to establish Chemistry in time for the playoffs.

They lost Z but gained Jamison. I'd say this a great trade for Cleveland and Washington who are getting rid of salary.

With the acquisition of Antawn Jamison from the trade makes the Cleveland Cavaliers even more stronger and their dream of finally snaring a championship crown for the town is just a matter of playing good basketball. Even though they added another superstar to their roster, they have to beat those other contenders in the East and the one from the West. They have to get their acts together, team chemistry is one of the major factors in winning a championship.

Not yet, I won't count the Orlando Magic out yet in the East. Though the Cavaliers are starting to break away from the rest of the Eastern Conference teams in the standings, the playoffs is something to be seen. I could remember back in the 2009 NBA playoffs where the Cavaliers and Magic met in the East Finals and it was predicted to be a very close series. The result? Orlando won 4-1 and if not for LeBron James' miracle shot at game 2, the Magic would have swept the series.

Antawn Jamison makes the Cavaliers a much deeper and deadlier team but other teams are as strong as well. Orlando's gt Dwight Howard, Vince Carter, Rashard Lewis, Jameer Nelson, Mickael Pietrus, Matt Barnes, and Jason Williams to name a few to lead the deepest team in the East. Boston's still got the big 3 and the surging Rajon Rondo and Kendrick Perkins and veteran forward Rasheed Wallace. Experience is something the Celtics really rely upon come playoffs time. Atlanta and Charlotte are teams to look out for in the playoffs too, they are upset capable teams.

In the West, clearly the defending champions Los Angeles Lakers still lead the way. Kobe Bryant is playing another monster season and is getting great support from the rest of the Lakers. Now with Ron Artest in exchange for Trevor Ariza, the Lakers are more formidable than ever. What's so good about the Lakers? With Bryant down for the past few games, other Lakers have stepped up. Shannon Brown just set a new career high in scoring while reliables Artest, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, and Lamar Odom are delivering well. The Mavericks have become a major player in the West with the acquisition of Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood. With Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Kidd, Jason Terry, and Shawn Marion already leading the way, Butler and Haywood gives the Mavericks more boost. Butler is a very versatile player while Haywood might seem the last piece Dallas needs in their puzzle for a serious Western Conference contention. Lastly, the Denver Nuggets is having a great season. Carmelo Anthony is having an MVP type of season and Chauncey Billups continues to bring in his game smarts and experience to lead the Nuggets to become among the top in the West. Kenyon Martin, JR Smith, Nene, Chris Andersen, and rookie Ty Lawson also gives the Nuggets the needed boost to stay afloat in the Western Conference. The Nuggets are dubbed to be the team closest to the Lakers and could really give the Lakers a challenge this 2010 playoffs.

So Cleveland winning thee crown already? Not yet. There are a lot of teams who could give the Cavaliers a great challenge. It would be great though to see the Lakers and Cavaliers go it up in the finals. First, it's going to be LeBron vs Kobe and second, it's Shaq's first finals appearance against his former team and the team that he led to 3 NBA titles. That would be big, so big.

No I dont see Shaq playing like he is now in the playoffs, hes going to wore down and I dont believe in the other 2 J.J. Hickson or Anderson Varejao to playi at a champion caliber team.
