Bruce BostwickTo trade or not to trade, that is the question

The Cleveland Cavaliers are 38-11 and have run a gauntlet of facing opponents with many back-to-back games early in the season. They have survived it all despite losing for a period of time Jamario Moon, and recently lost both Mo Williams and Delonte West. For the Cavs to keep winning despite some of the losses is a sign that perhaps maybe they are more dangerous than anyone could have imagined or predicted.
Rumors have been around surrounding of the thought of trading Z to another team. Well, on one hand, you can see the thought because of last season when really nobody wanted Wally and wasn't exactly jumping at the thought of taking him. On the other hand, they are doing well at this point in time and don't seem to be slowing down and can be a case of being able to defeat who they couldn't last year being the Magic and Lakers.
If Z is indeed traded, there has to be hope that he will be bought out and would return back to Cleveland to finish his career. Given what he has gone through, it would be nice to let him have a ring before he retires. I do believe he will retire at the end of the year.
At this point, I must admit I don't know what to think on this one. All I know is that if the right deal comes into place, then pull the trigger and go for it. Don't go for a deal that you are not certain of at all. Let's not forget the Cavs probably do have plenty of those foreign players that are overseas developing skills and could be brought over assuming they have a Center or two. Andy is more effective as a forward, though he can play center but mostly he seems to fit as a forward.
Where does LeBron stand on this? If he thinks a trade is necessary, he'll probably push for it. If he thinks it will be necessary. Right now, I'm thinking only if it is the right deal and it makes the most logical sense. The team is doing well now but will need to continue that string of momentum in the post-season and become even more dangerous. I'm undecided but won't be opposed as long as the deal makes sense.
