To his credit the guys that beat him were putting up some un real #'s...
Probably one of the most highing scoring 3 point contest in history...

Anyone remember who the Cavs protected in the expansion draft a few years ago?

Yea, but he's always running his mouth about he's the worlds best shooter. He predicted a win in the contest. He has the highest score after the first rack (5), then only score 10 points on the following 4 racks. I just get tired of hearing how good he says he is. He's the most 1 dimensional player on the roster and for the month he's only hit 2 from downtown. Shoot a little better than 68% from the ft line before you call yourself the worlds best shooter.
As you can tell, I'm not a big fan.

I couldn't find an actual list. Not supposed to made public, but....
http://www.nba.com/bobcats/news/draft_central_draft_chatter.html
2003-2004 Cavs players:
Eric Williams and Lee Nailon were FA's = unprotected.
Ollie, Newble, and Kapono were left unprotected.
That leaves:
Of these, I would figure it would be these 8 protected:
Oops.

Honestly I don't think a guy like Kapano would make us that much better. I don't think that it is a good thing that he starts for the Heat.
He is a one dimensional player, and while he can shoot the 3 and spread the defense is a major lyability on the defensive end.
I think the more minutes that he plays the heat are going to struggle. Also I don't think that he will continue to shoot at the 55% clip that he is currently shooting at.
As for DJ, I think he is entertaining, and does a good job of keeping the guys upbeat...

While they did lose Kapono in the expansion draft, they did pick up Sasha from Charlotte to replace him. So, for as stupid as Paxson was in leaving Kapono unprotected, he at least got lucky in replacing him with Pavlovic
from Charlotte.

That is true. Pav was a good pickup, but I think there would have been room for both.
Thanks for the info Nasty. There are definitely a name or 2 on the protected list that shouldn't have been.

These pretzels are making me thirsty.
Cavs Need A Guard
Feb 20 - The Cavs are in the market for a guard, one who can handle the ball and can shoot a little. While they'd love to be able to get a player who could be a long-term fit, they also would take a short-termer that could buoy what they already have on the roster.
According to league sources, the Cavs have made everyone on their roster available, with the exception of LeBron James.
But unless they feel it is a slam-dunk move, they won't want to disturb their core.
The Cavs are expected to take a hard look and even perhaps make a hard sell on Scottie Pippen, who wants to make a comeback. -- Akron Beacon-Journal
There are plenty of quality point guards available. The Nets have shopped Jason Kidd, Sacramento's Mike Bibby can opt out of his deal at the end of the season and if the Knicks don't buy out Steve Francis, he could be available. The Cavs have lukewarm interest in Memphis' Damon Stoudamire, Charlotte's Brevin Knight and Phoenix's Marcus Banks. -- Cleveland Plain Dealer

Exactly. He's Damon Jones without the mouth.
He would not (nor should he start) for this Cavs team.
I'd prefer to have guys who can shoot the 3 (even if at a somewhat lower clip) and do other things like slash (Pavlovic) or rebound (Marshall), because when the go cold from outside they can still contribute.

Exactally...
As for the trade talk and the Cavs needing a guard, I don't want them to make a deal just to make a deal.
Unless they can get someone like Bibby or Kidd, I am all for keeping this team together the way they have been playing, with Boobie as the starter and Snow coming off the bench, and I think we found the type of guys we were searching for on our bench in Boobie and Sasha...

;m really happy with Damon Jones' minutes getting eaten up....come playoff time he's such a liability on the court...i really feel he was thebiggest reason we lost to detroit...he just couldn't give productive minutes and couldn't guard anybody on Detroit...we wewre always out of position trying to cover his mistakes or Billups would just flat out abuse him...I'd also rather not make a trade just to make a trade, especially since Gibson is playing this well...i also think Z will play a very important role in the playoffs and Mike Brown has done a decent job of limiting his minutes this year...I really hope we maintain this up-tempo system b/c it fits our players styles the best and I think we have the right parts to make it work...it's when we turn every possesion into a half-court slug it out/execution based offense that this team sucks
