Yes, but you're forgetting, aside from the fast breaks off of steals and missed shots, the Suns also like to semi-fast break off of made baskets by the other team.
That's where Stoudemire gets a lot of his dunks from.

Cavs just picked up Ben Wallace. Man, I hope he can regain his Pistons form. Unlike Gooden, he doesn't need to make shots to get involved in the game. I'm not sure if this makes them a big contender.
I can see the Cavs going to 2nd or 3rd round of the playoffs every year, until they get James a legitimate 2nd scorer. They need a good running big man, like a Dirk Nowitzki type.

with the expiring contracts Cleveland has after this season.

they will have over $17m to throw at Gilbert Arenas or Elton brand

I would far rather be on the Chicago side of this trade. Ben Wallace's body is breakin down...hes just not the same quick big man that he used to be. Larry Hughes is a legit point guard. His shooting in the past years has made him a real threat.

plus, Hughes is a good defender.......
my Rockets picked up Gerald Green, but they lost Bonzi Wells.........
Here's a question for some of you NBA fans,
Remember when Steve Francis used to be good? Is there some kind of injury I don't know about? because Rafter Alston is ahead of him on the depth chart.
Francis used to be a perennial All-Star.

Do you also ever think about how the Knicks can be so bad with so many talented players who just dont ever shine. Minus Crawford who is an up and coming.

And Hughes..is a GREAT defender.

Shaq's the inbounder...And he helps them get more fast breaks off of missed shots.
