Man it really pisses me off.
Just to see Green thinking he actually did something talking stuff, like the cavs were healthy. Its one thing to take your championship and go, even tho you know the other team didn't have 2 stars, but its another thing to talk BS when they were down 2-1 to a team with 2 players out with injuries.
Thats why I want them again. I want GS to make it the finals, so we can show them what really would have happened.

looks like delly and the cavs arent close yet . i also read that if they give him a 4 mil/yr contract, Sir Gilbert would incur a 16 mill dolllah luxury tax, that might explain this takin a lotta time too just thinkin
Griffin did say on a summer league game he expected EVERYONE to be back, but we already knew that
here is the delly article....... YOU GUYS THINK HE IS WORTH 4 MIL A YEAR ?????????

Nah, for what Delly did during the playoffs and the NBA finals, he deserves a ring, and the Cavs will get it next season, I want delly to be apart of that as well. I want delly to stay

Seems we're just coasting now with TT, Delly and JR.
Deals are 100% being done. They will all be back.
This Haywood thing is starting to worry me now.

sounds like they want JR back on a 1 yr deal, also sounds like he is the 1 guy who should not have opted out
here is an article from today from The Score:
The Cleveland Cavaliers want to re-sign shooting guard J.R. Smith, but they don't want to fully commit to the mercurial gunner.
The Cavaliers hope to get Smith back on a one-year deal, reports Terry Pluto of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Cleveland is over the salary apron, so the most it could offer Smith is the taxpayer mid-level exception, worth $3.4 million. But since the Cavaliers have spent so readily this summer, paying Smith $3.4 million would translate to over $10 million in luxury tax payments.
The Cavaliers also have other free agents to deal with, including Tristan Thompson and Matthew Dellavedova.
Ironically, Smith opted out of the final year of his contract worth $6.4 million this summer. It seemed like a reasonable gamble given the crazed frenzy to open free agency, but the market has since died down, leaving Smith with very few options.
Smith proved to be a valuable contributor for Cleveland last season. He made 45 starts, averaging 12.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists while shooting 39 percent from deep. A notorious partygoer, Smith largely stayed out of trouble (although he thanked the sleepy city of Cleveland for that).
The playoffs were a mixed bag for Smith. He dominated the Chicago Bulls and Atlanta Hawks, averaging 15.4 points on 45.9 percent shooting from deep. However, Smith also received a suspension for smacking Jae Crowder and completely disappeared in the finals.
It still seems as though a return to Cleveland is likely in the cards for the 29-year-old Smith. And while he lost money on his ill-fated gamble, he'll have a chance at another championship run with Cleveland.
********* article is a lil off, i believe the cavs have jr's bird right so they can pay him whatever they want**********

LOVE tha Jefferson signing
this is from HOOP TRENDS....projected depth chart for next year
Thomas Ondrey/The Plain Dealer
After finishing the 2014-15 season just two wins away from their first ever championship, the Cleveland Cavaliers are ready to come back strong in the 2015-16 season. During the offseason thus far, the Cavaliers have managed to bring back players who played a huge role for them last season and acquire depth that they lacked during the NBA finals against the Golden State Warriors. Knowing a hand full of key players were injured throughout the team’s playoff run, the key to a successful season next year is staying healthy at all costs.
Projected Starters
Point Guard: Kyrie Irving
Shooting Guard: Iman Shumpert
Small Forward: LeBron James
Power Forward: Kevin Love
Center: Timofey Mozgov
Bench:
Point Guard: Mo Williams
Shooting Guard: J.R. Smith, James Jones, Joe Harris
Small Forward: Richard Jefferson, Mike Miller, Sir’Dominic Pointer
Power Forward: Tristan Thompson, Rakeem Christmas
Center: Anderson Varejao
There are three free-agents the Cavaliers have not signed who made a major impact on the team last season. Tristan Thompson, J.R. Smith and Matthew Dellavedova have not signed contracts in free-agency. Although it was initially reported that Thompson was close to signing a five-year, $80 million contract with the Cavaliers, the two sides are still apart in contract talks. As for J.R. Smith, who was acquired from the New York Knicks back in January, he opted out of his contract earlier this summer. Making 45 starts for the Cavaliers last season, the former sixth man of the year played a huge role on the team, and it’d be surprising if he signs anywhere else but Cleveland this summer. Then there’s Matthew Dellavedova. The 24-year-old Aussie really stepped up during the finals, where he had a 20 point showing in the Cavalier’s game three victory. He is a restricted free-agent who has yet to reach an agreement with the team.
Cleveland has also brought back fimilar faces such as Kevin Love, Iman Shumpert and Mo Williams this offseason. Williams, unlike Love and Shumpert, didn’t play for the Cavaliers last season, however, he did spend time with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Charlotte Hornets. The 32-year-old point guard spent two and a half seasons with the Cavaliers where he played robin to LeBron James‘ batman. Last season with the Hornets Williams averaged 17.2 points, 6 assists and 2.8 rebounds-per-game. For the Cavaliers, Williams will be used as a ball-handler off of the bench who can create for himself and others – something the team lacked last season.
Looking deeper into the bench you’d find rookies Rakeem Christmas and Sir’Dominic Pointer. Playing in four games in the Las Vegas Summer League, Christmas has averaged 8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.8 blocks-per-game. During the last year at his alma mater, Syracuse University, Christmas averaged 17.5 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.5 blocks-per-game. As for Sir’Dominic Pointer, he not only has the coolest name on the roster, but has averaged 5.6 points, 1.2 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1 steal-per-game in Las Vegas. His determination on defense is a huge reason the Cavaliers selected him with the 53rd pick in the 2015 NBA draft.
Cleveland has done a great job keeping their team in tact from last season. After the team picked up his $5 million option on his contract, Timofey Mozgov has to undergo surgery on his right knee. Mozgov helped transform the Cavaliers defense after Anderson Varejao went down with a torn Achilles in middle of the season. In 46 games (45 starts) with the Cavaliers last season, Mozgov averaged 10.6 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.2 blocks-per-game.
The Cavaliers have managed to put themselves in position to be atop of the East for many years to come. Teams like the Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors have made moves this offseason to contend in the East, so it’ll be interesting to see how things play out.
