[Los216]

There has been a lot of talk of player movement building up to the draft. Things should be heating up in the next week.

Would love to see frye at 5 million per year. Also would be excited to see mozgov given a chance if he is available. Cheap defensive center. Also Francisco Garcia as a backup shooter would be great.

How would you get Frye at 5m/yr when he could opt in at 6.8? wouldn't he command more if he opts out?

 

[Willard513]

I mean we can give him less per year with more years rather than more with less years.

Some guys around 30-32 know they only have one more bigger contract in them so they attempt to get more years and therefore more money.

Iguodala did a similar thing by opting out a massive one year opt in with Denver and then signing a longer term deal worth less per year but more overall money with GSW.

Awww Snap!!! Start the Mo safari!!!!

 

[Ohio]

Bring back Mo!

 

[DatDudeZ3]

Seriously, if we move Jack, we should make a run at Mo... And you know he would be open to coming back, he loved playing here... Especially if you know who comes back.

 

[Real Deal]

Cavs should look into Gasol, him and Andy would be playoff gold for our 3 young swingman.

Getting the band back together!!

Dig Red up from the grave
Glue Z's feet back together
Get Bobbie off the corners
Put Shaq on a diet

 

[Jack Brickman]

I really don't understand why anyone would want Mo Williams on this team. We've got a starting point guard in Kyrie, a starting two guard who can also run the point in Dion, and a solid back-up point guard who plays defense and makes everyone better in Delly. We don't need another point guard. In fact, we need to have one less point guard, which is why we're trying to get rid of Jack.

Plus, does no one remember how Mo totally quit on Cleveland the year after LeBron left? He talked a big game, but he didn't back it up. He pouted and played like hot garage until we traded his ass for Baron Davis, who came in and actually showed us some entertaining basketball.

 

[3 Ball...GOT IT]

Turned on Jim Rome when Adrian Wojnarowski went on to listed to a little bit of draft stuff, and Rome didn't ask a single draft question. Here's the main things said:

-LeBron opt-out not surprising, sitdown with Bosh/Wade is extremely important - but to not read into them not yet having one

-Sources tell him that they all want to know whether or not they will split up by July 1

-Thought Riley conference was risky, but nobody knows how LeBron took it. Says it could have backfired

-If he leaves, Woj says he thinks LBJ to the Clippers will be difficult, would have to be through sign-and-trade involving Blake Griffin

-Says he think LeBron will stay, and sign a short-term deal

-Woj says he doesn't see LeBron to Cleveland as a real possibility, unless they brought in another superstar.

-He thinks Love trade possibility is decreasing, primarily because Flip Saunders may wait until the trade deadline.

actually I wouldn't feel bad if Boobie came back if Blatt turns out to be the anti-Mike Brown as coach. sort of CJ Miles/Dion insurance.
