Anderson Varajao via Brian Windhorst
“I’ve had two conversations with [Dallas Mavericks owner] Mark Cuban this month and he offered me a three-year deal worth $11 million [about $19 million U.S.]. But I told him that I would like to remain in Cleveland, unless they do not want renew my contract and I can analyze the proposal of Dallas.”
The blog (translated) that claimed this quote has now officially apologized for falsifying the entire interview.

I don’t think Lawson or Young will be available for the Cavs at pick 30

Yeah, they’ll need to trade up if they want either of those guys, probably to the early 20’s. Luckily there most likely will be teams that want to trade down in order to save money so they might be able to buy a pick.

I would LOVE Ty Lawson. The kid is quick and can shoot. He is Jamer Nelson but much, much, faster. What’s not to love?

I can't
Dudinger can not play defense and is a very streaky shooter with no ability to create his own shot.
