Wish we could have made a move, but it was hard. We didn't have much and Danny must like where were at.

Adding Smith might be nice though.

 

[outacontrol music]

Former Cav Joe Smith, who was traded to the Hornets before the deal was rescinded Wednesday, is expected to seek a buyout from the Thunder within the nextweek. Though reports have indicated the Boston Celtics will pursue Smith, a league source said if Smith can get a buyout, he will consider the Cavs. InDecember, Smith said he'd have interest in going back to Cleveland if he became a free agent.

In addition, there are some other names. The Cavs may consider Earl Barron, a versatile big man who played for the Miami Heat last season, as a free agent.Also, a league insider said on Thursday that veteran big man Robert Horry has not ruled out returning this season, and he has a relationship with Cavs GeneralManager Danny Ferry.

Im sorry but VC isn't the player he use to be. Yea he still has athleticism, but ariza offers more to the lakers than vince would to thespurs. VC is not a lock down defender and prefers to shoot the 3 then drive to the basket. On top of that Roger Mason ( i dont like him) is a cheap 3 pointshooter, why spend money on VC to do the same. The Spurs FO has made great decisions these past 10+ years and not getting vince was just another smart move.

Side note: Isn't there a way that some deals can still be made. Like as long as paper work or something was in before 3 pm est? anyone know detailsabout this?

 

[halfwaycrook]

We need to find a way to get Chandler. He was huge.

 

[senorroboto2k5]

I definitely thought the Cavs should've made a deal.

I understand that their record is outstanding and you can throw that in my face all you want, but I seriously don't see anything special about that teamoutside of Lebron. I don't see them quite at the level of the Celtics, and another player would've helped vault them to that position.

I also don't understand why people are arguing about Larry Hughes and Chris Wilcox. The Knicks don't give a !**% about what they do or if they evenplay a minute before their contracts expire.

Anyone who got Kyle Lowry got a steal.

I don't see what's so hard to understand.

Those 2 > Tim Thomas.

like i said up a few post up it dont matter if your talkin about every move yall made or just our trade bull >knicks

Wow.

 

[tmoney85]

lakers should use the chris mihm money and sign joe smith or mikki moore.

 

[copped]

so they waived miki moore? spurs going to sign him?

 

[thekillerj23]

Joe come back to Cleveland, I hope he does not have hard feelings due to that MO trade in the summer and I hope he doesn't stick it to us by going to theceltics due to his KG ties.

 

[jdb1523]

Joe Smith knows our system from last year and he did a great job, I can't really see him signing with the Celtics.

Do it Joe.

Knick fans, specifically YoungJordan#,

1st off we're not taking Rose good brutha that OKC problem we had James, Tim, and Roberson.

2nd Larry's contract comes off the same yr James and Tims would have come off 2010

3rd this yr hes making 12.8 and next yr hes getting 13.6 so unless you move him next yr, which I doubt, you're going to end up paying more than you wouldhave for keeping the two of them.

now if you just wanted them off of you squad ok thats cool and i can understand that because we've wanted to get rid of Larry since his 1st game inuniform, but other than that all you've gotten is open roster spot and another cancer on your team.

Chicago on the otherhand managed to split his massive contract in half with two players, allowing us the opportunity to move half of it if the opportunitypresents itself, at the sametime we manage to rid ourself of a major disruption. Meanwhile we also traded away another MASSIVE contract that had a stranglehold on us capwise and a presence whos been in and out all season for a better/more versatile post presence and a versatile wingman. we then traded awayanother useless roster spot slowing down our pg's progression for a first round draft pick which can also be used as a trading option.

now to say that we didnt have atleast an A- performance in a period where no big names were moved we definitely made the most from what we got.

No Homerism... straight facts
