Antawn Wants and Expects to Remain with Cavs

[Jon]

The folks who say nothing major will happen until Dwight's situation is settled are likely correct.

 

[CLEfan330]

I think this is hillarious, Antawn was blasted when he first got here because of the expectation to win and he didnt help us win, and now he is getting blasted because of the expectation to lose and he's helping us win instead...guy cant catch a break.......but he needs to go

 

[CavsFanJapan]

This is so true CLEfan330. It does not matter to me if he stays or goes. I prefer him to be traded for any assets we can use but if he stays, he is more likely to get hurt since that has not happened to him yet and the odds are in our favor. I don't think we make the playoffs this year anyways and he could stay regardless.

 

[Binkster]

Antawn's nice guy act has gotten really old - spurred by the fact that he "plays" like a selfish bastard:

1. Chuck 47 shots a night.
2. Miss 42 of them.
3. Score 28 points once every 5 games.
4. Pad stats.
5. Avoid any and all contact on defense.
6. Forget about rebounding
7. Repeat. Suck.

One thing I will say about AJ is that he does help space the floor like no other big on our roster. If he does get traded, it will affect the ability/ease with which a lot of our guys get to the rack. Drawing bigs out of the paint is probably his biggest, consistent contribution to this team.

I really hope he is gone either via buyout or trade. If not I won't blame him, but if he is on the team next year i'll be beyond pissed.

Ya, I highly doubt he'd be back next season. He'd have to take an enormous pay cut to even be considered, imo. Not to mention, dude's game just irritates the hell out of me.

 

[Futuredome]

I hope he never plays another game for the Cavs again.

Harder to get hurt when you don't jump and don't play D.

To be fair to him he did have a double double in the last two games. But in true Antwan fashion his mailing it in from the free throw line this year.

Let's skip the hyperbole. He's averaging 16 shot attempts a game and is missing 9 of them (42%) and is averaging 17 points a game. Certainly not a great percentage, but he's not chucking any worse than Kobe (24 shots a game at 43%), Melo (18 shots a game at 40%) or Monte (19 shots a game at 43%).

The 6-7 rebounds a game and poor defense is certainly not great, though he is averaging a steal a game and almost a block a game.

My point is, that even though he's not part of the future and may in fact be messing up the tanking, he is actually producing pretty well for a 35 year old guy who everyone on here thinks sucks. I'm not defending his position on the team at all, just trying to temper the ridiculous shit he takes.

He's a 35-year-old POWER FORWARD taking the most shots on the team while hitting just 42% of them. He is horrendous defensively, and he doesn't rebound.

Far as I'm concerned, Tawn deserves all the shit he gets from this board... and then some.

 

[Jon]

And for the record, his 2pt% is just 44%, so all the 3pters he takes aren't dragging that down very much.

So as I've been saying, Jamison is a wonderful piece for tanking. Lots of shots, low efficiency, no defense; but yet he helps spread the floor so our rookie PG isn't suffocated, and is a good guy in the locker room.

so then you like having him on the team because he ensures they lose right? arent you one of the guys wanting to lose as many games as possible?

 

[FiveThous]

The Cavs will bring Jamison back for another 2 years
