    Cleveland is playing Portland on ESPN2 as we speak.

    Diop, Mihm are both playing considerable minutes.

    Clevelnad wants Dream to tutor Diop, so don't worry about scouting Diop he seems to be untouchable.

    I agree chuckie...I would, however, love to see them get Mihm. I know Cleveland is high on him , but how high could they be if they drafted Diop who is a center as well?

    Can't watch it now, I'll tape it. I wonder if it'll be worth watching to get a look at Mihm?

    I don't know for sure but I think Cleveland was just taking the best availalble in the draft. No other reasons to have 4 serviceable centers.
    But I heard the story here in Ohio that they wanted Dream for Diop.
    I'm not sure what happend to Mihm. He seems to be a decent player and I also have not heard that Clevelend didn't like him. Maybe they are working on a twin towers thing.
    But I wouldn't mind getting Mihm. He is not a star but he has a decent shot and doesn't mind working on the boards. I honestly don't know a thing about his D, I try to avoid the Cavs games on TV. Makes me sleepy! [​IMG]

    Neato. Announcer just said Mihm has been working out in Houston and Cleveland with Lucas.

    Whoa, Priest Lauderdale is playing too!

    Im sure Mihm wouldnt mind coming home to Texas and perhaps even starting with a young team. Only problme is that Dream says he only would go to a contender (so i read) so that may mean no Cleveland.

    I thought that Mihm, Diop and Miller are untouchable

    American business long ago gave up on demanding that prospective employees be honest and hardworking. It has even stopped hoping for employees who are educated enough that they can tell the difference between the men's room and the women's room without having little pictures on the doors.

    Sorry FR-
    They want Dream to tutor Diop not to trade for him. Sorry if that was confusing.

    Yeah Diop and Mihm are in Houston with Lucas working out in the summer. If we did have to trade Hakeem to Cleveland I would take Mihm and be happy with it. Mihm has nice defense, hes got alot more rougher and can shoot the ball. With a little more work he can become a nice player.

    According to Yahoo sports today,it was reported that Hakeem Olajuwon's agent didn't return any phone calls for the last six days.
    I wonder what ideas can we imply from this.
    Does this mean that he is not interested in talking to anyone and is taking his time to make a decision from all the offers that he has already gotten.

    I saw the game, Mihm was great, he is starting to be more aggressive with his shot and on the boards. I counted 5 blocks, and he made a real good defensive presence.

    Mihm would be a great 4 or 5, but with Diop, Lucas will make Mihm a 4.
