According to multiple league executives, the Cavs and Sacramento Kings have restarted talks to bring Mike Bibby to Cleveland. The two teams nearly completed a deal shortly before February's trading deadline and have been in discussions again over the past several days.

A version of the deal was close to happening Thursday, sources said, in a three-way move with the San Antonio Spurs.

The Cavs were believed to be after the rights to Argentine center Luis Scola as well, which the Spurs own. When the talks broke down, the Spurs dealt Scola and reserve forward Jackie Butler to the Houston Rockets.
 
Re: BW:Cavs almost got Bibby today

whatever.























Damint. FVCK.Shit.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Re: BW:Cavs almost got Bibby today

If the Cavs wanted Bibby bad enough, I don't think that the rights to Luis Scola should have been a sticking point. I can understand wanting to get a big guy back if Gooden goes out the door, but an unproven one? But I'm sure there was more to it than that.

i get the same feeling. i wonder what the sticking point was... surely, they didn't try to involve the Spurs just because of Scola.
 
Re: BW: Cavs almost got Bibby today

Maybe somebody was asking for Elson?
 
Re: BW: Cavs almost got Bibby today

Here we go again.......

I believe the deal was done but Cleveland couldn't sign as Ferry was sitting on his hands.

This is such a tease.

I just can't believe Roger Brown is sleeping on the job. This was his scoop!!!
 
Re: BW: Cavs almost got Bibby today

The Sacramento papers confirm and give slightly different details: Jackie Butler would have gone to the Kings, no mention of Jones/Scola.

"Although the discussions between Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie and Cleveland general manager Danny Ferry have temporarily stalled, a three-team deal appears to have come close to taking place.

Though all terms of the deal are not known, the source said Bibby would have gone to the Cavaliers for forward Drew Gooden, while San Antonio center Jackie Butler also would have been sent to the Kings."

Re: BW: Cavs almost got Bibby today

Ferry needs to make something happen..we need to do more than re-up Sasha and Varejao. I'm not a fan of counting on younger guys improving from the previous year to get the team further than the year prior.

I understand they're young and important, but we need to do something with people not on the roster. We'll have the same weaknesses as last year if we just re-sign Andy and Sasha and grab a garbage Pollardesque big man.

Thanks Wuck for that....

Hopefully this 3rd team thing can be worked out. The Kings seem to want Drew, we seem to like Drew at the Kings. Bibby is loved by most here, and Bibby's contract is loved to be elswhere by the Kings.

Good news CDT.

Ferry is no longer sitting on his hands. He is however, sleeping at the wheel. Can't believe we are going into next season with the same roster. :chuckles:

I'm absolutely thrilled to be linked to a potential trade, the question is are we giving up Daniel Gibson? I think he's being asked about as much if not more than Varejao. I'm hoping it's Drew and some dead weight.

Drew and Damon Jones would be perfect...we can both agree on that mate. I'd somehow like to grab Kenny Thomas depending on his contract numbers...he's a solid rebounder that could help fill Gooden's void.

I cant imagine Keeny coming over unless we somehow got to include Larry Hughes in this deal. Biby's contract is almost doubled Drew's $ wise I'm sure, so adding Kenny rather big deal blows it out further. I do agree though, Kenny would be good for depth.

Gooden and some expiring (Newble/Wesley) and junk (Jones) would be tops.
