Farewell, Richard Jefferson.

[dark2332]

Is he our Shane Battier?

We need a Shane Battier

I think that would've been Tayshaun Prince...

 

[Real Deal]

We go into next year with five guys, Mo, JR, Kyrie, Love, and obviously 'Bron that can explode offensively.

We did not have 5 guys last year capable of giving you that kind of offensive production.

and I cannot wait to see that lineup together in action. Only missed shots can stop us.

 

[Huber.]

Hopefully he plays better than his tattoo

Keeping your own guys isn's a successful offseason, its assumed. We added mo williams and richard jefferson. We failed. Just once I would like to have a successful offseason that doesnt involve lebron doing all the legwork.

I been a Cleveland fan all my life in every sports, to assume that keeping our free agents are a given is not a sure thing around here, signing Kevin Love to that five year contract , that along I would call a successful offseason, ask Portland how do they feel right now.

 

[Ohio]

If Mo Williams and the corpse of richard jefferson is better, then you win.

Thanks, I'll take the W.

I think it's funny how upset we get at the "disagree" rating. Once I disagreed with a Big Mar post, and then I found him gravedigging and disagreeing with old posts of mine. Weird.

It makes perfect sense. Don't be a jerk.
I think the team'll be pretty good this year.

I like him more than Prince. Jefferson has turned himself into a very quality three point shooter in this latter half of his career. This feels a lot like the Shawn Marion signing, which felt like the David Wesley signing. Hopefully he has more left in the tank than those two guys did when they became cavs (which was nothing).

To the offseason critics, keep in mind that it is not done. There is still Tristan and....(drumroll)...use of the Haywood contract in a trade for a player no one contemplated.

Doubt we get a player for Haywood at this point, but would be happy to have the TPE good for one year. COULDcome in handy for us midseason like it did last year.

One type of player would could try to target, using our TPE, are players in the final year of their contract that are unrestricted free agents next year. Some of those players are often bought out or released after the trade dead line is over to get the opportunity to play for a playoff team. We would get their bird rights by trading for them, giving us the chance to re-sign them next year, plus, obviously getting to use them this year. An outside the box version of a sign and trade.

Just remember the 2nd unit is Mo-Delly-JR-TT-Andy

RJ is a wild card. No need to get high blood pressure over an 11th man.

I think he will be apart of the second unit more often then you think. Maybe not all year, but for a good portion of it. He can guard 2s and 3s in limited minutes and give us another shooter. I would not mind a Mo Jr Jefferson TT 9 man rotation. i just cant assume Andy stays healthy. He has not done so in 5 years. Delli can be your 3rd PG and also give us limited minutes as a backup 2g.

 

[TitleTown]

The same people around here are overreacting EVERY SINGLE time. And the same people keep eating crow.

How long until they learn?
