Is Antonio Daniels on Cavaliers' Radar??

To say that there are questions swirling around Delonte West is an understatement.  The Cavaliers haven't ruled him out of tomorrow night's opener - they haven't said much of anything about West or his playing status.  Without West, the Cavs are thin at best in the back court.  Could that be the reason that Brian Windhorst is reporting that there are rumors around the Cavs with the name Antonio Daniels?

Some reports have it simply a rumor.  Others have Daniels already agreeing to the veteran minimum after he clears waivers from being bought out by the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Daniels would make a lot of sense.  He would provide the Cavaliers a proven ball handler and - perhaps more importantly, a career 80% free throw shooter.  With a team that could have Shaq and Anderson Varejao on the floor at the same time - free throw shooting becomes critical, especially late in games.

Either way, adding the depth of a proven player like Daniels can't be a bad thing - even if Delonte West is able to come all the way back.

In the end, with or without West, there is a bit of a void in the backcourt on the roster.  Daniels would help fill that void.

Good idea

This would be a very smart move if Danny Ferry is able to pull it off.

Agreed

I don’t see the downside if we are able to pick him up with a minimum guarantee

i’ve been saying the same thing every since he became a free agent this summer. that would be an awesome pickup.

I agree with this move.

I have always liked Antonio Daniels’ game. He was a free agent the same year that Redd and Hughes were. While we were after these two, I was always thinking that we could sign Daniels for less money and he could play either guard spot and give you 10-13pts and 5-7ast. Then we could have went after another big. But we went with Larry Hughes, and you know the rest….

He’s older now, but he’s still a serviceable bench guard who can play both positions. I like this move a lot if it goes down.

Hey... Cleveland happens.
