I'd rather the Cavs get a good point guard and not another stop gap. In addition with this trade I'm pretty sure the Cavs would have like 16 guys under contract. Frankly if I were the Cavs I'd do the deal for the 1st round pick alone and maybe Fizer. Don't want any of the other guys, while they may make the deal doable they make it less attractive.

Well, I would be willing to bet that the Bulls would trade Fizer and their #1 straight up for Miles and forget the Magic.
Or actually Fizer and Crawford could probably be switched and no one would mind. Fizer to the Cavs, Crawford to the Magic. The Magic also don't trade Steven Hunter or Humphrey (I think you're wrong about them though, they could turn into pretty nice players... unless you're happy with Chris Mihm right now
). Orlando would certainly not mind keeping Hunter though.
I can see where you're coming from in that the Cavs could use a guy like Fizer.
The Magic could use a guy like Crawford, actually. Darrell Armstrong is a zillion years old, and in the short term, the Magic would have Hill to help out up front.
Cleveland's new lineup:
C - Z, DeClercq, Diop
PF - Fizer, Boozer, Mihm
SF - Davis, Jones, Humphrey
SG - Wagner, Sasser
PG - Parker, Palacio, (Sasser)
Orlando's new lineup:
C - Kemp, Hunter, Bagaric
PF - Hill, Garrity, Oyedeji
SF - Hill, ?, (Hassell)
SG - McGrady, Hassell, (Crawford)
PG - Armstrong, Crawford, Vaughn
Still a decent looking trade, no?
