Baron Davis Reunion Safari

[Man Called X]

As much as I have an unnatural love affair with Diddy, I just can't get behind bringing him back. He's done. Those knees are gone. It'd be like watching Jason Richardson play his whole 1 game this season after 2 years off. It was just ugly.

Couldn't we just send Harris to the D-League for the rest of the season instead of waiving him?

D-League or not, he still takes up a roster spot.

In the words of the great man, Matthew McConaughey, "Time is a flat circle. Everything we've ever done or will do, we're gonna do over and over and over again."

I wouldn't sign him in a million years. But wouldn't it be ironic if the man who essentially helped trigger the chain reaction that drafted Kyrie Irving (via his arrival trade along with an unprotected first) which then - 5 years later - put us in a position to build the greatest team in Cleveland sports history, was the final piece of the puzzle that secure this team its first championship?

It's not that simple (mainly because Baron's no longer good enough) but wouldn't it be a wonderful, ingenious alpha and omega story?

I love Baron Davis, but he's done and we don't really have a roster spot for him without waiving someone more valuable.

I was just watching an interview with Baron too. Said he can still contribute to a contender.

Dude made me feel hope. I really wish we had him longer.

Isn't TMZ sports one of the least legitimate sports sites around?

I'd say 2nd worst behind whatever sports site that employs Skip Bayless.

I moved this to Around the NBA, which I think was generous considering the other options.

Any chance miller or haywood needs surgey and we just have them go for it? Open up another spot? If u have 2 players w season ending injuries dont u get another spot?

 

[Spectre]

This is the least we could do for Baron for getting us Kyrie.

Having 2 or 3 players with season ending injuries doesn't open up an extra spot.

To get a 16th roster spot requires four injured (inactive) players, plus league approval. The Cavs have three injuries at this point, counting Varejao, Irving and Marion. Even if they had a 4th player hurt, the 16th roster spot goes away the instant any of the four injured players returns.

Waiving a player is the only viable way to open up an extra spot at this point.

Baron Davis shot 37% for the Knicks three years ago.

He'll be 36 in April. I love the dude for what he did when he was here, but there is no way that I waive Delly or Harris to bring him aboard just so he can ring chase and retire after the season.
