Link bites: Hawt Sonic leaves town

Ex-Sonic and new Cavalier Wally Szczerbiak

points out that the team has just traded away one of its more photogenic members.
According to the AP:
In a complex, 11-player swap involving Cleveland, Chicago and Seattle, [Cleveland] dealt half his active roster to acquire center Ben Wallace and forward Joe Smith from the Bulls, and forward Wally Szczerbiak and guard Delonte West from the SuperSonics.
James, the Cavs' super-duper star wants to win a championship, several of them, and after seeing several other teams land big-name players via trades in recent weeks, the All-Star game MVP made it clear he needed help.
So, now he's in Cleveland. But, hey, it's been a while since we offered some link-bites eye candy, so there's a going away present for you. Let's just hope he doesn't start hanging out with Browns QB Brady Quinn while in Cleveland.
