No big names and no picks, here's the link: http://www.sportingnews.com/nba/articles/20000627/244479.html ------------------ "No one gets out ALIVE!" SaveOurRockets.com
Can you say "Cleveland got SCREWED!!" Neither of those guys were worth a healthy Bob Sura. When that guy started to pick his game back up last year, he was lookin real good. ------------------ He who stands for nothing will fall for anything.
What does this do to all of the projections that the Bucks would take Etan Thomas with their pick (#15 I think?). I guess they can still use him since they traded two for one. ------------------ There are 3 kinds of people: those who can count and those who can't.
Does this affect Cleveland's interest in Iakovos Tsakalidis and would the Rockets take him if the Cavs passed on him? ------------------
The trade could influence who the Cavs pick ahead of us. Trading a guard for two power forwards might mean the Cavs will target their pick on the 2 or 3 spot. The Rocks may now loose their shot at DerMarr. --- By acquiring both Traylor and Reid, the Cavaliers addressed their most pressing need entering Wednesday's draft -- frontcourt size -- while ridding themselves of Sura's $4 million salary for the upcoming season. Cleveland needed a big man to back up injury-prone center Zydrunas Ilgauskas, whom the Cavs are hoping will be able to play this season after sitting out most of the past two with foot injuries. In addition, Traylor himself is among many people who think a change of scenery could jump-start his career. The Cavs, who have the No. 8 pick in the first round, were thought to be leaning toward selecting either 7-2 center Iakovos Tsakalidis from Greece or Joel Przybilla from Minnesota. "The trade does not change our thinking as we prepare of the draft," Paxson said. "We feel there's a chance that we can get a pretty good player at No. 8." ------------------
both of those guys arent centers which what they were and probably still are leaning toward. traylor is a bench guy, reid is barely and adequete starter. ------------------ --TEX
