Sasha Pavlovic
Daniel Gibson
Larry Hughes
Ben Wallace

Lakers-

Andrew Bynum
Derek Fisher
Pau Gasol
Lamar Odom
Jordan Farmar

I think it is obvious that the Cavs have better players.
I would take Ben Wallace over Bynum, Ilgauskas and Odom are about the same, Larry Hughes over Farmar, Gibson over Fisher, but Gasol is better than Pavlovic.

Even with better players the lakers are doing much better. They only have 17 losses while the Cavs have 25+.
