Cleveland Cavaliers' money might not be enough to contend for Matt Barnes | cleveland.com


Cavs to sign rookie: The Cavs reached an agreement in principle with rookie free-agent power forward Samardo Samuels on a multiyear contract, agent David Bauman confirmed to The Plain Dealer.
Samuels (6-8, 240) is a low-post player expected to play power forward and center. The deal is believed to have a partial guarantee for the first season, which makes it likely Samuels will make the team. He was impressive during the Vegas Summer League with the Chicago Bulls, averaging 12.6 points and 7.4 rebounds. His biggest statement came when he scored 17 points with seven rebounds and outplayed Sacramento Kings draft picks DeMarcus Cousins and Hassan Whiteside in a game last week.
A high-profile recruit when arrived at the University of Louisville, Samuels averaged 15.3 points and seven rebounds as a sophomore last season before declaring for the draft.

Any word on why McCants didn't play at all for the Cavs in the summer league? I read an interesting article on him yesterday in ESPN the magazine, and it seems like he's the type of player that could really help the Cavs rebuild, if given the chance.

found another article explaining the matter a little more clearly

looks like he choose family over summer league and made the Cavs aware. Can't blame the guy.

Seems like a slightly better Darnell Jackson. Need to find a 7 footer or 2 somewhere. 6'8 PF's only get you so far.

I'd venture to say he's more of a C than a PF, at least from watching him play last year. Also didn't seem to be a fan of hustling or rebounding. Curious on how he will fit in to our offensive gameplan.

ehh...i dont really like it...if it was straight up for west i would...but i dont like giving away draft picks...even if its a 2nd rounder

Maybe it's because I still see KK as a slightly smaller, more athletic Z. If it's a 2nd round pick it's a done deal for me.

Especially if it's the second round pick they got from OKC (via Miami). That pick is going to be at the ass end of the draft anyway.
