Fred Jones for Juan Dixon was the blockbuster.

Anthony Johnson for a second-rounder got people excited.

Not one of FanHouse's dreams came true.

The Cavaliers did not get a point guard, the Bulls did not get a post scorer (not even Brian Skinner!), the Lakers did not get Jason Kidd (thanks, D'Antoni!), Paul Pierce did not get his sidekick, Marcus Banks did not get his freedom, and all this blogger got was a hellacious headache. (Actually, in Sacramento, that'd be "heckacious." Whoops.)
