JTC said it pretty well but let me add a couple of things.
Sura is a MUCH better defender than Barry was. He can also play the 1 slot, which allows Joe to move Chucky at some point.
Cliff is a no rebounding big man and Wallace needed help there and that is why Elden was brought in.
Also the salary cap thing was huge. Sura's 5 mil comes off the book next year and now that gives Detroit some wiggle room when it comes to signing Okur next season.
I watched the playoffs and I heard that Cliff played in them but I do not remember seeing him on the floor.
