For those wondering about the now-mythical "LeBron" trade, here was PL's analysis of the trade near the end of the 2005-2006 season:

Enjoy! \:p

-----------------------------

JG Gets:
Ron Artest
T.J. Ford
Antoine Walker
Nick Collison

PL Gets:
Lebron James
Kyle Korver (cut immediately)
Wally Szczerbiak (cut immediately)
Speedy Claxton (cut immediately)

This one has absolutely killed JG.

Artest has missed a few games with injuries, and in the 8 games he played, he's scored only 93 FPs, averaging a mere 11.6 FPPG.

Collison played twice, scored 11 FPs, averaged 5.5 FPPG, and was cut.

Antoine Walker has played only twice also, scoring just 5 FPs and averaging 2.5 FPPG. (Edit: Cut by JG)

And T.J. Ford started only one, scoring 9 FPs, and has now been traded back to PL in the recent Richard Jefferson deal. (Edit: Cut by JG)

For PL, the trade has worked out great.

Korver, Szczerbiak, and Claxton were all cut immediately (altho PL reacquired Szczerbiak later as a free agent, and he's been great), opening up roster spots for what turned out to be better free agent pickups.

And James, the key man in the deal, has been exactly what PL expected and hoped for: 9 games, 259 FPs, and a 28.8 FPPG average. Even without yesterday's 54 - the highest FP total of the season so far - Lebron was still averaging a terrific 25.6 FPPG.
