I read something like that where its a sign and trade with Gordon. Gordon gets an extra year on his deal and the Bulls get something back, ie, AI. But forDetroit to even agree to it, they're gonna want to unload some contracts on the Bulls, since they'd end up giving up an extra year to BG.

This is getting more and more frustrating. LeBron's up coming free agency is killing the Cavs right now, and all this love he gives NY is killing us also.I believe it's that more than the whole "it's cleveland" that's making people not sign here. NBA players think LeBron leaving too andthis *@*+ is putting the Cavs in a terrible position to woo other players. I pretty much think we HAVE to sign Marion or the Cavs MIGHT have a problem thiscoming season. Danny Green will help a lil bit, but not enough to put us over the top. One thing to remember though, Orlando isn't gonna be as much of aproblem if Turk leaves. Carter ain't long like him and won't handle the ball as much so the pick and roll will be easier to defend.

who knew that LBJ on the Cavs would end up being a bad thing.

Bringing in Shaq meant no running, which means Shawn Marion would be a horrible fit.
Cavs are stuck.

It's sad that we cant' keep him, but you can give a reserve more than the MLE.

Other than the Showtime Lakers (Did have Kareem), in the past 30 years what running team has won title?

Well, when you have the best open court player in the league..maybe basketball history, might be a good idea to do it a bit more

Yeah that's true, but you still need a low post threat. I think the Cavs will run a lil more this year, but they don't need to be a "RunningTeam", doesn't win titles.

Cavs are really stuck between a hard place and a rock.
They only got the MLE to acquire a mobile forward, traditional SG and traditional PF. Realistically, I'd target Linas Kleiza with most of the MLE, give therest to Matt Barnes (worked well with Shaq) and re-sign Joe Smith. That would mean letting go of Varejao because he's asking for too much.
Rotation would then be Shaq, Smith, LeBron, Barnes and Mo-stradamous starting with Z, Hickson, Kleiza, Boobie and Delonte coming off the bench.

I'm with you, Kidd can still play and if giving him 3 years means we get rid of Curry, then I do it.Originally Posted by Al3xis

Well, obviously I don't know why Kidd would come to NY without the assurance bron will be there next season.
Dallas is offering same amount of years and more money.
Plus, if winning was that important to Kidd why not take the MLE with a contender? Can't believe just being close to his kids is THAT big, but respect to him if it is.
Secondly, Walsh knows he can trade Curry if he gives 3 years.
"I have a little leeway which will leave me in good position for next year," Walsh wrote to The Associated Press. "I know what it is but do not talk much about it."
and imo, knicks fans are crazy for not wanting Kidd, he can still play. Especially in this system? $*+*.

On ESPN they said after Iverson had discussions with the Heat that he's becoming more interested in the Grizzlies. I believe its either Memphis orChicago at this point.

QRoss signed with Dallas...I hope he does well.
He does a solid job on defense and hitting baseline jumpers.

Bang don't post anymore. You speak as if the Cavs will have Shaq out running the wings on a break. Shaq will be much better with outlet passes than Z andAndy, so it would actually help our fast break.

Man, exactly...I tried my best thinking of a team that can run and execute in the halfcourt when need be and that roster still isn't getting past L.A., Boston, San Antonio and possibly Orlando.
Unless Ferry got something up his sleeve, it's not going to end well.
if they want to contend for the championship, they're going to have to start from bottom.
trade z (i know hes loyal and all, but sports is all an business move) +some other bum for someone, lets say boozer.
boozers injury prone and all, but he'll contribute way more then big z. he's just too slow to guard any one.
maybe inquire about prince/rip since they got BG and CV.
idk, just thinkin about a few things that could work off the top of my head
maybe even curry?
myto: just because hes an upgrade over flopajao and big z doesn't mean hes good. hes too old to be running anything.

He stunk it up the 2nd half of the season. He was pretty solid though during the beginning stages.
