Cavs 09-10 Season (official thread)

TNT just showed a graphic for possible ASG MVPs, listing LeBron, Carmelo, Bosh & Wade - all from the same draft class. I couldn't help but think to myself: good job with that draft pick, Pistons. :lol:

Portland still gets criticized to this day for picking Sam Bowie instead of Jordan. That wasn't nearly as bad as Detroit bungling that pick. At least Sam Bowie was a known commodity when Portland picked him. Detroit had three probable HOFers on the board, and they grabbed a nobody from the other side of the world. They were reigning champs at the time, and we might have been talkinga about them as a dynasty right now if they didn't mess up that pick.

LeBron James, Amar'e Stoudemire waiting like everyone else on Cavaliers-Suns proposed trade | Cleveland Cavaliers - cleveland.com


"I'm aware of the talks just like everybody else," James said. "I don't get caught up into it until I hear from the GM that the deal has actually happened."
Stoudemire, who had 12 points and 10 rebounds as the starting center for the West, also remained neutral on the topic but hinted that he, too, is waiting for resolution.
"I haven't heard anything, nothing solid yet," Stoudemire said. "I don't think that deal is done yet, so I can't comment on that at all."

After reading this, I'm convinced that this is the right thing to do and the Cavs need to find a way to get it done:

• Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavaliers are going to do something big, and this weekend they appeared to zero in on Stoudemire as their target. Not only would the Suns' forward give Cleveland an intimidating front line of Shaquille O'Neal, Stoudemire and LeBron James with 23 All-Star selections between them, but the Cavaliers would also be taking one of the top free agents off the board this summer. This could be crucial in the upcoming race to sign LeBron.

"Everybody is trying to clear cap room for a second guy so they can sign one of the top free agents along with a No. 2 guy like Amar'e," a rival general manager said. "The truth is that no one can clear enough room to get that second guy. So if Cleveland does this trade for Amar'e, then they've succeeded in doing what the other teams hoped to do: Basically, they've paired LeBron with a big free agent."

A deal with Phoenix makes even more sense if Zydrunas Ilgauskas is acquired and then waived by the Suns, which could help position them under the luxury tax while freeing the 7-foot-3 center to return to Cleveland to create matchup problems off the bench in an NBA Finals against the Lakers.

I'm really getting my hopes up for this trade, which means it will probably never happen. I just ran this in the trade machine and and Z and JJ for Amare doesn't work by itself. The Cavs would need to throw in any other player on the roster to make it work. So who do you give up? Jawad, Green, Jackson, Boobie?

Windhorst said yesterday on his Twitter feed that it does work with just Z and JJ, because Z has a trade kicker in his contract.

^^^^ That looks good

This not so much:

I'm not really sure what to think anymore. Just looking forward to this being over one way or the other. Amare is the only option I've heard that I would be willing to give up JJ for. I'd take Murphy or Jamison, but not if they have to throw in JJ.
