Why has Cleveland not looked at adding Iverson??  With Delonte's issues and potential trouble with his court case coming up on his weapon charges why not?  Would Iverson not look good at the #2???  I mean it is only a year and I think he would compliment LeBron for this year??  Do we not have enough money or what?  Please educate me.

Mo Williams

Allen Iverson

LeBron

Varejo

Shaq if healthy?

Would that not be a decent starting lineup???

Hi there, Wolves fan here.  We've had a lot of debate about Al Jefferson and what he's worth to us on our site, and I was just discussing whether trading him for Anderson Varejao would be a good idea and what the reaction would be.  So I'm curious what the Ohioian perspective would be.  Help us out, I'd love to hear your thoughts.  As much to hear what you have to say about Anderson as Al and the trade.

I've been visiting this site for a while now, though I've never had the urge to post, until now. I must state that I'm NOT a troll, these are just observations, so please, no hissy fits ladies.

First off, the Cavs' seem to have foregone their M.O., and unless Shaq and Coach Brown do something about the former's atrocious pick and roll defense, saying the Cavs have severe problems come playoff time is an understatement.

Second is the big acquisition himself. His P&R D was an accumulation of bad habits from early on his career, but what bothers me most is his stark offensive inefficiency. Most of his shots should have been dunks, though his age can be partially blamed for that, but those little baby hooks he's been missing 5 feet from the basket are not helping the team.

Big Z isn't doing a lot better unfortunately. It seems as if his jumpshot went back to Lithuania. I'm thinking he's dealing with a lot more than he's leading us on to when it comes to playing in the second unit.

IMHO, those two will not cut it, and I see no immediate solution. If I wanted an injured, aging big man, I would have gone with J.O. (is a trade for him possible BTW? He's looking good early on.)

I forgot to mention firsthand that I reside in Canada, so while I root for the Cavs, the Raps are in my heart. This seemingly useless fact I shared with you is indeed important because I've been watching Anthony Parker ever since he was the starting SG for the Raps. He had a decent game against (10.31.09) Charlotte, but there is palpable deterioration with him.  He's 34(?) and no matter how much you rationalize how he played overseas ergo he does not have much mileage in him, it won't change the fact that he is 34 playing in such an athletic, strenuous league. Sorry we wore him out first.

And please, someone tell the Moonman to stop shooting those jump shots. Tell him to remember his roots that is the Harlem Globetrotters and start f***** driving!

In conclusion,  since the big teams made their big acquisitions, I always thought that the Cavs made the wisest choice. I thought the Lakers and Celtics would crumble by way of their mercurial acquisitions, that the Spurs got a disinterested has-been, and the Magic getting Mr. Half-heart. So far a smooth ride for them. As for the Cavs, not so much. I'll reassess when Leon Powe comes back, but sad to say, I think the fine city of  Cleveland will most probably eat another slice of humble pie. Again, not a troll, but I won't be surprised to see scathing comments. I just hope that LBJ and his squad prove me wrong.

I'm baaaack! and beating down your doors with this sledgehammer of a question..."should the Cavs consider trading big Z & Delonte for Stephen Jackson & Ronny Turiaf? " ok and now get this (cause this is the real homerun swing), send Capn Jack and Danny Green to the Jazz for Boozer!!!???

what do you guys think about that trade? do you think its a possibility after they pick up Antonio Daniels?

pg - Mo              Daniels/Gibson

sg - Parker        Gibson/Daniels/Karl

sf - Lebron        Moon/Powe

pf - Boozer        Verajao/Hickson/Jackson/Powe

c - Shaq             Turiaf/Verajao

what the hell is mike brown doin at the cavs' bench?! i blame him entirely for the failure of the cavs to make it to the finals last season. he is nothing without LBJ and the team. he should be fired and replaced the soonest. i don't want this season to be fruitless for LBJ, however, much as i wanna see the king get his well-deserved ring, i don't want him to get it with that washed-up, no talent, wannabe clown(but ain't funny) Shaq on board!

I grew up watching the man the call Shaq and i was in awe of him. Now with age slowing him down this is probably his last chance for glory.

Shaq has won with Kobe and won with Wade but will he win with King James?

Look for the Cavs to win it all this year as Shaq will play with a new purpose and will prove why he is one of the best ever to play the game.

Hey every1. Self proclaimed Cavs fan #1 here. Just wanted to know your thoughts on a comment shaq made(http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-cavaliers-oneal&prov=ap&type=lgns&success=1#comments) about the Cavs being the best team he's ever played on. Believe me i am a loyal Cavs fan til death but personally I gotta say i think the Laker team with Karl Malone and Gary Payton was. But in all honesty this Cavs Team is looking brutal on paper and I can't wait to see how this season plays out.. I think having  Shaq and Big Z together is going to be key as the Cavs make a run for the championship. They each play totally opposite but each plays very good at their respective styles of play which i believe will be hard for teams on defense because they constantly have to adjust through the course of a game. And other teams will have rebounding nightmares if mike brown decides to play them together at some point. Shaq put it well when he said him and Z equals the best center in the NBA. What do you think?

I saw this awesome tidbit on TrueHoop the other day. I think it hits the nail on the head about the Magic series last year, but does so with data to back it up. The comments on West are quite relieving, as well. If he's really not much above average then his personal instability can't hurt the Cavs that much, and it means his contributions are not irreplaceable. The thoughts on Anthony Parker's value are very exciting as well.

Cleveland Cavilers guard Delonte West was arrested in Maryland last Thursday for speeding and carrying 3 firearms ( Beretta 9m, 357 magnum, Shotgun).

My first question is if knowing its illegal to carry concealed weapons in Maryland, why would someone do so on a motorcycle. It would make sense to travel in a car or truck, a vehicle were you could hide the weapon if stopped. The arresting officer reported Delonte was speeding and cut him off which is why he stopped Delonte and upon approaching the motorcyclist Delonte said he had a gun. My second question has to be what would posses a man to speed while knowingly breaking the law. I mean if  I’m riding with a trunk full of heroin the last thing I want to do is draw attention to myself. On top of that He cuts off a cop (no comment).

The carelessness shown in this situation baffles me because I can’t understand risking all that money. Some of these athletes can’t process that when being in limelight 24/7 and receiving million dollar salaries, its not only expected but mandatory you uphold model citizenship. It does make sense to carry protection when in a position like Delonte but you have to be more careful.
