Wallace, Sczcerbiak Trade Came With Seconds To Spare

The Cleveland Cavaliers, Chicago Bulls and Seattle SuperSonics were able to make their 11 player trade at last Thursday's deadline with only seconds to spare, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel is reporting. Literally.

"I was a little shocked," Cavaliers coach Mike Brown said of getting the trade done. "It wasn't last minute but it was last-second, that part is true."

"I was in the room, and the NBA was on the line. I heard somebody from the NBA office say, 'Cleveland, you have 20 seconds to get Chicago on the phone.' It was pretty intense."
