IF LeBron stays. Shaq will be gone. So 20+ Mill comes available. IF LeBron goes, what can they get in return. Plus the afor mentioned 20+ Mill off the books? Seriously, If I were them . . .i get something good or LeBron takes a pay cut. I would not just take garbage contracts Rocket River
Lebron will not take a pay cut. He'll probably get close to 30mil per. I think Lebron stays and Cleveland tries to get Amare. But, Mike Brown has to go! I dont think they can win a championship with him. Lebron needs PHIL!
I'm sorry let me clarify. When I said a pay cut. . i mean I would not SIGN AND TRADE HIM. [for garbage] If I am not getting quality . . he will have to just be signed outright [which would not be as much as a sign and trade] Rocket River
If LeBron leaves, the balance of nature will be restored and the Cavs will go back into the toilet where they belong. But unlike everyone else, I'm not so sure LeBron is leaving.
I almost feel bad for Danny Ferry. He did everything humanly possible to go "all in" for a championship this year and it STILL wasn't good enough. Just another reason it sucks to be from Cleveland.
The Cavs are stuck. They will be over the cap with Lebron signing on and I don't think they have the pieces to pull off a sign and trade. Jamison and Mo Williams are on the books for 20 mil + the next 2 years. They don't have much good young talent or cheap veteran talent. Their draft picks are low first round. Would Toronto do a sign and trade of Bosh just to get rid of Hedo? at the price of taking on Jamison + Williams + Varejao for 2 years? Chances are that if LBJ stays they are bringing back the exact same team next year, maybe with a different center. Lebron must really love Cleveland if he chooses that situation over Chicago, NJ, NYC, Dallas, or our team.
If i was danny ferry, i would be on the phone with whomever is running the clipper,kahn in minny,and the grizzlies gm. I would like to know what it will take to get kaman out of la,jefferson out of miny,and gasol out of memphis. I like hickson alot and i think he is ready and i would get jamison off my roster. They need someone who can score on the blocks and relieve some of the pressure. Any can be the swing big and is valuable with his defense and effort.
Yeah Brown has got to go. That Shaq on KG move was really dumb and not playing Hickson even though he played very well during the season was crazy as well. I think Lebron stays or goes to Chicago, but they gotta get rid of Brown before this happens.
Nah, Shaq's contract expires after the season. And they don't have any cap even the 20M is taken off the book.
What are all those Cavs fans who were basically saying "F you, LeBron. We don't want you." after game 5 thinking right now? Change of heart, perhaps?
Damn, for a minute, there, I thought you said "20+ Mil for Brooks?" *whew* How come y'all never recommend your so-called "PHIL" for the Bobcats or the Bucks or the Clippers... or the Timberwolves? WHY?
The Cavs have a team capable of winning a championship right now - the problem is with the coaching staff. Just think how good that team would be with someone like Adelman running the show.
Nah, the past playoff series showed they ain´t sh#! without LeBron playin on his best. There´s no player on that team that can give you good shooting numbers every night. What do you expect from Mike Brown, coaching them how-to-not-shoot-or-turnover-like-an-idiot? The whole roster is full of guys that can not handle playoff-pressure. Look at Mo and Antawn, they´re basically a joke over these past rounds. Cavs need to get guys that can give them solid nights in the post-season.
