    ...what about Jumaine Jones? Personally I'd rather have him than Lamond Murray(who Possum started a thread about). Jumaine doesn't need the ball to get into the flow of the game like Lamond often does and in my opinion plays better defense.

    I've liked Jumaine's game since his rookie year and would love to get him on the team. IMO he's a big upgrade on TMo and would fit in well as a compliment to Boki at the 3 spot long term. What do you think the Cavs would want in return for him though? My guess is Mooch would be first on their list but obviously CD is not gonna give him up. They won't want Collier, we can't trade a 1st rounder, KT is too much to give up.....I can't think of anything that would make both sides happy to get a deal done.

    They do need a point guard but I feel that they would be looking at someone who they could get for a cheaper price than Moochie.
    I agree that neither are Moochie or KT likely to get traded,and I want to keep them on the team too.
    Jones would be much better than T-Mo.Cleveland is highly unlikely to take T-Mo from us.

    The only plausible trade I can come up with is if Cle would take the obligations owed to us from the Chi Drew trade in exchange for Jumaine...any thoughts?
