Since when do we still have Wally and Wright on the roster?

would Ferry want to give up
1) one of the better 3 point shooters in the league [ this year]
2) two potential stars in the making in JJ and Jawad (combined salary under 2.5M) for 9M in salary (8.2M next year) that may only be here for this season and next
In order for this to work, Wally would have to agree to about a 3-4M deal….and probably only for one year from a NOH perspective) does anyone think that will happen?

I see the incredible upside in production for this year and next, but what about the disruption in “team chemistry” that might occur as happened when Wally, Delonte, et al. arrived in mid season?

The Cavs are staring the best record in the league squarely in the eyes while trying only to get all of their parts to mesh…I’m a firm believer in “if it ain’t broke, don’t try to fix it”…and what the Cavs have right now is a very long way from being broken

Seriously though…we still have wally and wright? I am pretty sure that we DID NOT resign them the last time I checked…Did we randomly resign them recently

Brian Windhorst was asked this question in a recent podcast, he seemed skeptical that we would be able to do a trade with Wally, because Wally has taken a television job (i believe CBS?) doing college basketball analysis, and the NBA would require that if he signs a contract that he actually acts in good faith and participates (i.e. attends games) and of course this may interfere with his actualy career change to being on T.V. Basically Windhorst is saying that the NBA knows that this loophole exists (the Van Horn thing) and will likely close the loop hole by the next collective bargaining agreement, along with the whole “trading a player to another team, other team cuts player, player returns to original team in 30 days” thing, he thinks that loophole is going to be closed as well.

I think there’s enough room in this to still make it happen, I mean Wally has the incentive of getting a ton of money (whatever makes up the difference in any potential trade) for basically doing nothing, and if he is able to work something out around this with his current employer, than I still see him being willing to “jump through whatever hoops” he has to. I don’t see why the team that trades for him won’t just do a buy-out immediately with Wally if the NBA is going to make a big deal about him not participating, and then like any other buy-out he can be free to pursue what ever he wishes (i.e. T.V. analysis).

I certainly perfer using Wally’s sign-and-trade contract over Z’s or Shaq’s at this point, and coupling him with Gibson or Hickson would be acceptable.

Also Windhorst said that the Pacers were asking for the moon for Troy Murphy, like multiple draft picks, and prospect players (I’m guessing Hickson and maybe more) and then whatever contract finishes out the match. So he stated until they become more reasonable, no deal with them would be happening soon. Jamison still looks like the most likely target, but there is so much confusion on what’s going on with Agent Zero’s contract that nobody is going to be moved until they know a bit more regarding a potential voiding of the remainder of his contract due to felony charges.
