They get Jaric, and they're winning fifty games.

PG Jaric / Snow
SG Hughes / Jackson
SF James / Marshall
PF Gooden / Varejao
C Ilgauskas / Dalembert

...okay, so they don't have Dalembert, but getting him would be just super.

Keep wishing on Dalembert. I'd love to have him too, but I think they're more likely to bring back Tractor to back up Z. He did well last year and should come cheaply.

I think Gooden is still on the way out, Maybe in a sign and trade with LAC. They're out of regular cap room to sign Jaric or Jesakieviecshk (whatever), so I think they may be exploring a SnT to get a pg.

It now appears that Jasikevicius is going to be the starter at the point. He's weak on D, but Brown seems to think he can improve his (Sarunas') defense. If you remember him from last years WC, he was all over the place and had his way with the U.S players. He also played very well against the NBA players in the last Olympics. So, it now looks like the starting 5 will be:

Z
Marshall/Gooden
LeBron
Hughes
Jasikevicius

Now, I'd like to see Tractor com back to town and maybe trade Gooden. Then put 'Wild Thing' as the backup to Marshall.

Cavs pg

If Larry Bird calls him the best Euro, non NBA player, then that's good enough for me.

If they've already filled up the roster by signing Jasikevicius what are they going to trade Gooden for?
What ya mean filled up the roster? Under the new CBA they now have 14 roster spots. But then again they can be filled with a backup C and a young kid from their summer league.

But what do you trade Gooden for? A more solid PF that is defensive minded and will be happy just cleaning up the boards and hitting layups. But, I still think Marshall should not be the starting PF. He is more of a 6th man type that can come off the bench to give us outside shooting.

The ony good thing is Brown has said he would much rather get a gifted shooter and teach him defense than to get a defensive minded player and teach him to shoot. Makes me think he is very confident in his ability to coach and teach players the finer points of defense.
