Major Moves Inevitable for the Cavs?

PrintWe can officially start saying that the Cavaliers are performing how everybody expected them to. We wanted to hush the critics after our win against Boston, but let's be real. With a record of 7-13, it might be time to start worrying.
The situation at the small-forward position has reached its climax. As a Jamario Moon fan/blogger, I feel your pain. Clearly he hasn't performed at all how we thought he would, or to the level he is capable of. Joey Graham hasn't given us any reason to smile either. Jawad came in and gave the Cavs 11 points and 6 rebounds, but is it time to start Antawn?
Byron Scott needs to find a stable starting five and stick to it. If nothing is working, we might need to test the trade market. Antawn is reliving his career in Washington right now, and not getting the starting nod with the record the Cavs have right now is just going to put him over the edge. Jamario never conformed to Princeton style offense, and the Cavaliers defense needs fine tuning.
However the biggest problem with the Cavs to this point is execution. Having formerly covered the Raptors, I can see this team following the same footsteps as the 2008 Toronto team. Especially last Thursday against Miami, the Cavaliers were throwing up shots early in the shot clock. Whether it was Boobie or Mo, the Cavaliers time management was extremely poor.
This team has the capability of making the playoffs as a low seed. The execution is key for the Cavs right now, and like Coach Scott said after their loss to Detroit, "I want someone in that locker room to get (peeved) besides me."
As a new member of the FTS community, I'd love to hear feedback on how I'm doing. Feel free to drop me a tweet at @FrankieFrank5!

Yup. Even before the season started this team needed to look towards trading off the non-core (i.e. older players).
I was thinking the other day that maybe stockpiling draft picks (1st and 2nd rounders) could be a great way to build a group of players together, under team control (including the restricted free agent seasons) while also providing cap space to add here and there. My greatest fear is that we clear capspace to waste it on overvalued players (like Detroit did two years ago). If Jamison nets us nothing more than a 2nd rounder, it will be a gain.
been messin witht he NBA trade machine today,
Id like to see us be able to grab Batum&Fernandez from Portland and /or Wilson Chandler from NYK
Players id like to see traded (in order of how soon id like to see them go): Moe, Andy, Jamison, AP,Powe, Jamario
Players Id like to see wearing a suit and or on the waiver wire: J. Williams
Id llie to see more of Ramahn and Manny
Im the poor man's corey maggette!!!
Portland turned down Minny's first round pick last summer (fifth overall) for Batum
No way anyone gets him. They think he’ll be the next Pippen.
To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
fourth* overall

Portland wants a 1st round pick
for Rudy. I think that will be too much for the Cavs to give up. Rudy is good but somehow inconsistent.
I have no idea who Ramahn is.
Funny thing though, when I searched “ramahn cavaliers” on google, it came up with this comment.

Intensive Purposes? I could care less...
your whole argument is a fallacy!
start Antawn at SF
he might be way slower but he’s an another offensive option in that group. It gives JJ more playing time to develop as well as Samardo Samuels who I think can be a good low post option given some time.
The NBA Trade Machine does lead me to some delusional daydreaming, but hell we gotta do something
im also for moving jamison to the 3
Im the poor man's corey maggette!!!
No game thread? Fine.
F************************************CK THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
WE CAN’T GET ANY ******* STOPS OR ANY ******* REBOUNDS THEY GET A **** TON OF SECOND CHANCE AND FAST BREAK POINTS BUT OH NO NOT FOR US AND WE ONLY TAKE OUTSIDE SHOTS AND OUR GUYS LOOK DAZED AND HAVE NO ******* CLUE WHAT THE **** THEY’RE DOING AND KEEP THROWING THE BALL RIGHT TO A SIXER ******* STUPID AAAAAHHHHHHHHH
GREAT GAME YOU’RE PLAYING SO FAR, PHILLY! YOU THINK IF YOU WERE PLAYING THE WIZARDS RIGHT NOW YOU’D BE DOING SO GREAT?
I, too, root for Cleveland and anyone playing the Miami Heat. Oh, and I also root for Seattle. LET'S GO STORM REPEAT!
Why would anyone want to see more of Sessions
He is one of the worst professional point guards I have seen in my entire life. He has no plan with the ball, his drives are wild, his court vision is mediocre, he cant spread the floor, and he cant finish at the rim.
Just because he is our backup point guard do I not want to see Mo traded. ’Tawn has got to go, because he kills the offense.
Hey, NewCavsfan
Sorry about Canis Hoopus. Man, they were really nasty to you, and for no reason. You were just congratulating them and defending your team. It’s not like the two teams have any bad blood. And they were quite friendly toward s me, so what did you do?

I am going to get in so much trouble for this
That’s it. Game over. My career on FTS is done. I will be shunned for life.

Thanks dude
They had been making bad jokes about the Cavs and their players, and despite the fact that I am pissed at them, I went in to defend them.
Basically I told them that they still sucked and only looked good cause our defense was terrible.
I think that is what I said anyway. They were also poking fun at another Cavs fan who went in before me.
I think sessions is actually a bit underrated. He grabs rebounds well for a PG, is a great distributor, and is a decent threat with his midrange shot. he is not at all a dominant scorer and is little threat from 3 point land. He is a bit like Brevin Knight but with more of an offensive game.

Any chance at getting Ariza?
What do you guys think about the possibility of getting him? The NBA is taking over the Hornets, will they act like MLB did with the expos where they essentially cut salary and basically gave away their players? Even if not we may be able to throw together a decent deal.
No chance
It does not work like that in the NBA anyway. There will still be a New Orleans Hornets team.
