Lebron, Shaq, Amare, Mo, and Parker. If you are an opposing team how do you account for Lebron and Amare on the wings and Shaq in the center? I'm all in and I think Ferry and Gilbert are too.

It sounds great but I really don't much care . I hope for the best outcome possible for the Cavs of course but my love for hoops only thrives at the college level. I am quite sure that I'm the exception but I would rather watch a good Horizon League match up before I turned on a NBA game. In fact, I don't think that I have watched an entire Cav's game all season.

I said yes, but here's what must happen for it to be a good fit. The trade to get him has to be JJ and Z for Amare. We also must be sure Z is going to be waived. If we give up anymore people, the chemistry will be out of whack and it could hurt us. I like this trade also if Amare is going to sign for years to come, but if not, then keep JJ. The player I wanted was Andre Iguodala. I think if the Cavs got him, they'd be for sure the most athletic team in the NBA by far. You can't guard Moon, LeBron, AI, and Shaq effectively, not to mention there's another guy out there I didn't mention (probably Mo or Delonte). The Cavs are in great shape. They are already the best team by far and adding an All Star and only losing a sophomore uprising isn't bad (assuming we get Z back).

Do you post Steve McNees threads on the Cavs' blogs?

I think that if you want to win a championship this year: LEAVE IT ALONEIf you want to keep LeBron happy and make sure he stays: GET AMARE STOUDEMIREIf you want to have a best chance to win a championship and LeBron saty here: LEAVE IT ALONEIf the Cavs give J.J. Hickson a few more years, he might become a "Amare Stoudemire". I hope they don't do this deal. Lazst time they were in this position, they gave up a lot of players and had to start all over again...Also to add on to this...Amare plays in a high tempo, not much defense(PHX is getting better at that though) of a team and would Amare have to adapt to Mike Brown's offense, or would Brown have to adjust his offense to Amare. Shaq and Amare would not work on the same floor...Amare likes fast tempo, Shaq is a half court type of offense. JJ Hickson is a little fast tempo guy(that's probably why PHX wants him), but he can work that half court offense really well also. You're first [place in NBA, chemistry's getting there, bench is already deep enough, why mess with a proven process to try something that you don't know 100% is going to work? I must of forgotten that Ferry's a democrat...

It's Cleveland... they'll find a way to screw things up. One line my 75 year old boss gave me after one week of working for him and getting to know we were both fans - "The only difference between you and me is I have 60 years more of disappointment than you."

Good topic for Off Topic, Smack & Jokes.

Well things should be interesting as the Miami Heat are looking to block the Cavs attempt to land another star. Miami's courting wade as we are with Lebron. They would probably have to get rid of Beasley to make something happen. Here is a link to the Cavs forum:http://www.cleveland.com/forums/cavs/

I wonder if Danny Ferry voted?

Maybe we should change the poll to:Danny Ferry: Thief or Genius?Sometimes the best trades are the ones you don't make.

Ill take both. We literally STOLE Jamison from the Wizards and got a somewhat-decent PG in Telfair. All we gotta do is wait for the Wizards to buyout Z's contract, resign Z in 30 days, and we'll be set. Shaq gets extra minutes so we'll see how he does there and then Z gets extra rest for the playoffs..now this is all assuming that the Wizards do buyout his contract, AND we are able to resign Z before the deadline, but all indications show it should happen.I wouldn't have wanted Amare anyways, not for what the Suns were asking for him.

Agreed. I think both, part genius, part thief. But playing the system under the rules of the system. Just like the Yankees do. Don't hate the playa. I don't even care if they win a championship, more than anything, I want LBJ to stay in the area. But I gotta think the championship comes now.

No chance of hating that playa .. Ferry has always been one of my favorite Cavs. And if he brings home a title .. it'll only cement it for me further.
