The Mavs also did well getting Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood, which puts them into contention for 2nd place in the West. However, even unbiased commentators are not giving much of a chance against the Lakers.
The Knicks made important moves in order to clear out $30 million dollars of cap space. This will allow them to contend for some big names in the off season - particularly Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Amare Stoudemire, and Chris Bosh.
To sum it all up: The Cavs move will have the most impact for this season, but the Knicks move may be the most impactful overall (since they may be able to land a big name in the off season).

That is the strategy that the Wizards used the last time they had a playoff team when they built around the now troubled Gilbert Arenas. It also was the strategy for the Hawks a few years ago when they dumped guys like Rasheed Wallace, Nazr Mohammed, Shareef Abdur-Raheem and company. Look at the collection of talent they have now.

Long-term: Houston is the winner in my books because they traded someone that was a cancer on the team and got back a good young prospect in Jordan Hill, 2 future 1st round picks (provided they swap picks with NY that one year), AND they got a borderline all-star shooting guard, Kevin Martin, that is young and under a reasonable contract provided he keeps improving.

M$I like Camby a lot, he's awesome and Portland needs the hep, but I don't think Portland was wise filling the injury prone Oden with another injury prone Camby. Especially since Camby will be the most expensive player on the team.
