This thread needs to be published, and should break the world record for most authors! Not to mention shortest time to write a novel of this size, with all the plot twists.
 
Re: Amar'e Safari: Officially The Greatest Thead in RCF HISTORY !

This is one qualm I have with the whole process surrounding Amar'e and Miami.

Everyone brings up that Kerr and Ferry are such great friends. Ultimately, Kerr would tell Ferry if the deal wasn't going to go through. Yes, he wants more talent because he is the GM of the team and does not want to get fired because the owner screwed the team up and put them in a position where he needs to save money.

If someone comes at them with a better deal, Kerr will tell Ferry, "Hey, you gotta come up with something better or else we are going to move on."

In which case, I'm guessing Ferry already has his mind made up on what they can do, which will probably revolve around J-Rich's contract. They don't want to take it on, but if someone else can, I'm sure we will, unless we can get Jamison w/o involving JJ.

Everything I read, gives me more and more confidence in our FO and more importantly, our GM.

HAVE FAITH FELLAS...He knows what he's doing.

I believe Ferry will do the best thing too, but I think if we want to guarantee that we'll get a player Ferry will just have to take Antawn on Thursday morning instead of risk it all by waiting till the last minute. Let's just hope Mike James doesn't come with Jamison....

I'm pretty sure Kerr has his marching orders: find a great deal that gets back a lot of talent and savings or accept the Cavs offer. Keeping Amar'e isn't an option. So from Kerr's perspective he's the one under the gun. He's got a disgruntled star that is going to leave this summer and his boss knows the team has a solid offer on the table from the Cavs. If Kerr fucks around too long and the Cavs turn to Jamison then he's giong to have to answer to the owner. There's still plenty of time. But I don't think Kerr is going to wait till the last moment to pull the trigger. Having to settle for a Miami deal the owner doesn't like would probably cost him is job.

I hope if it happen's it dont go down to the last hour...I hope we can get somthing done tonight around midnight...that way if we wanted to do another small move we can get somthing done tomorrow such as trading for a pick or even a role player...

in ferry we trust... no matter what danny does, he understands everything we talk about on a near mircoscopic level. he will do what is best for the cavs.

I really don't think this goes until 2 PM tomorrow. I have to believe that Danny puts a hard deadline of tonight or he moves on to Jamison. Danny is not going to fail at getting someone for this stretch run. I have to believe midnight tonight is going to be a hard deadline.

I have no interest in reading this thread, and I am Cavs board junkie. No way anyone would pay money to read this unless the are clinically insane.

I have yet to post in this thread...so here is my contribution.

Good point, although probably on accident. :chuckles:

Remember too, that trades don't necessarily have to break on SportsCenter at 10am when more people are going to hear about them.

The Caron Butler/Josh Howard (not listing everyone because you know the damn trade) trade broke on Feb. 13th at like 10:30pm like right after the dunk contest when the Dunk Contest was on TNT and it broke on ESPN and they aren't sister stations like ESPN and ABC.

Just because ESPN doesn't break it in the morning, or on the 6pm SportsCenter doesn't mean it can't happen at any time.

I have a feeling we're sweating this one out tomorrow around 2PM.
 
Re: Amar'e Safari: Officially The Greatest Thead in RCF HISTORY !

Ferry isnt dumb and this wont go all the way until 3 because he will have to work on getting Jamison unless he is gone too then he will have to work on getting murphy, unless he is gone too, then he will have to work on .... you get the point. I'd bet that Ferry's deadline for PHX is about 10AM tomorrow.
