CV will not be a Cavs player

He is going to Detroit and they are also adding Gordon we are in trouble if that happens.

I just read that also. I don’t know…I’m skeptical until it’s official. Man, I hope we get CV. Bostons trying to make some moves with Wallace and possibly Kidd. This is nuts!

In trouble? They had the best record in the NBA and added Shaq, and still have other options. They are far from being in trouble

Yeah, we’re not in trouble. Villanueva would have been nice but the Cavs don’t need him. We can still resign Varejao.

He gets $40 million for 5 years, per ESPN. They also sign Ben Gordon for 5 years, $55 million.

Gordon & Villanueva to Detroit...

(yawn)

Meh, I’m not to worried.
I suppose it’s nice that the rivalry might be spiced up a little again.

What do the Cavs plan to buy now ? The guys that could of really helped us are signed. Got to wonder about Danny Ferry, can we Trade General Managers ? All he does is bring in washed – up ‘’ Players". Cleveland will never see a Championship as long as he’s in town. So Fans, enjoy LeBron’s last year in Town.

Umm, is this a joke? Mo Williams was a “washed up” player when Ferry traded for him? And Delonte West? Of course not. Your comment is based only on the Shaq trade and ignores every other move he’s made as a GM. Danny Ferry is not the problem. You do know he was second in Executive of the Year voting last year, right?
