Mo has played 3 minutes tonight. He didn't get them to this point, and I'm wondering if he reinjured himself.

Cavs beat the Lakers and Jamison rolls an ankle going for the last meaningless rebound. At least he has time to rest. Need to get all of the tradeable assets healthy for the trading deadline run.
They really need to find a way to get a second or third first round pick. Getting a dozen 2nd round picks won't help.

Grandmother who raised Cleveland Cavaliers' J.J. Hickson still lives near him, guides him

By Branson Wright, The Plain Dealer

CLEVELAND, Ohio ? Marie Myers quietly sat on the edge of her seat and prayed, almost hidden as fans stood and cheered for the Cavaliers to keep from breaking the record for the longest losing streak in pro sports history.

"I couldn't watch," said Myers, whose grandson, J.J. Hickson, had a super game Feb. 11 as the Cavaliers eventually beat the Los Angeles Clippers in overtime, 126-119, to end their losing streak at 26 games -- keeping the Cavs tied with the 1976-77 Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the unwanted record. "I kept asking God if we were going to win."
Hickson, who had 27 points and 14 rebounds that night, didn't have to look into the stands to see if Myers was there. If there's one constant in Hickson's basketball career, it's that his grandmother has always been there.
"My grandmother is my biggest fan," he said. "I knew she was up there in the stands supporting me. She always has my back."
Hickson, 22, owes his NBA success and growth as a man to his relationship with his 63-year-old grandmother. Despite the Cavs' disappointing season, Hickson always has a place of refuge. Myers moved to an east-side suburb of Cleveland shortly after Hickson was drafted.
"After every game, she never talks about the negatives," Hickson said of his grandmother. "She tells me to keep my head up. When I visit, I can always find peace over at her house. I even have my own room. When I go over there, it sort of brings back memories."
Those memories are not always pleasant.

if the Melo to New Jersey trade goes through look for Cleveland to land a few first round picks for taking on the contract of Troy Murphy....Cleveland will have to use a lot of their TPE though.

It'd essentially be trading their TPE for a late first rounder next year, and a decent first rounder this year.

I'm on board because it's such a risk to hold onto the TPE with the upcoming labor negotiations.

windhorst was on WKNR radio and mentioned that the cavs have a big offer on the table for their TPE...wouldnt go into for whom or what teams, but the activity so far has me a little excited...no where near as excited as i would be the previous 5 years around this time, but still fills a little of the void
