NBA experts say LeBron James and Cleveland Cavaliers are suited for triangle offense
Players are suited for such a system but selling idea is major hurdle Sunday, June 08, 2008
Mary Schmitt BoyerPlain Dealer Reporter
Coach Phil Jackson has coached 11 teams from two different cities into the NBA Finals, but they all have one thing in common: the triangle offense.
With the Cavaliers taking a lot of heat about their stagnant offense preventing them from beating the Boston Celtics and advancing in the playoffs this season, it seems like a question worth asking:
Could the triangle offense work here?
"In Cleveland's situation, in my mind, the personnel would be ideal," Tex Winter said.
Contrary to popular opinion, Winter didn't invent the triangle - or triple-post - offense. He learned it while playing for Sam Barry at USC and perfected it during more than 60 years of coaching in college and as an assistant to Jackson in Chicago and Los Angeles.
Now a consultant to the Lakers, the 86-year-old Winter wanted to make it clear he was only answering a question. He didn't want it to appear he was analyzing or criticizing the Cavs.
But as the foremost authority on the triangle offense, he's the basketball version of the EF Hutton ad. When he talks, people listen.

Mr. Such and Such
lots of rumors on other boards about a done deal for Redd. No trades can be announced until the finals are over, so it will take a while to find out.
but the rumor is wally and AV for Redd, no draft picks involved.
if that is the trade, and cleveland uses #19 on a big, that's not too bad at all.

Probably so as not sure if we would have the contracts to match for JO...we would have Snow as an expiring, and Joe smith...But wouldn't be able to match 20mil...
Either way Redd would make me very very very happy...

If that trade for Redd would happen, I'd be ecstatic. 
As for O'Neal, I think it'd be a mistake to make a move for him. He has a monster contract, is getting up there in years and is injury prone. Bad, bad combination.

Wally can't create off the dribble, is a streaky shooter, needs other guys to get him open, and is not a very solid defender...
Redd on the other hand, can create a jumper for himself, will take the midrange jumper along with the outside, can hit a contested jumper or wide open jumper...Can help do some ball handling out top, can run a pick and roll as the dribble guy, and is a solid defender...Not great, but solid...
West and Redd give you a solid 30-35pts/night from the starting backcourt...

Published on Wednesday, Jun 11, 2008
Daniel Gibson was never quite the same after a severe high left-ankle sprain in February, and there was a reason.
Gibson had some bone spurs and some loose bodies in the ankle after the injury he suffered against the Indiana Pacers on Feb. 20, which knocked him out for more than a month. The Cavaliers announced Gibson had them removed in an arthroscopic procedure Tuesday in his hometown of Houston.
He will be on crutches for a week and will then begin rehab work. The Cavs expect him to be ready to go by training camp in late September. Gibson decided to have the surgery now to make sure he would be back for training camp. Some of the damage came from previous ankle injuries from earlier in his career.
