Like it or not, we are most likely gonna need to use players like Zizic or Osman to move our unwanted contracts. Let's face it... neither of those 2 are ever gonna get significant minutes on this team. I understand that a lot of Cavs fans want to give them a chance to play here and see if they grow, but this is about competing for a championship now, not waiting and hoping for 2 or 3 years down the line. We have too many holes to fill, and you gotta do what you gotta do to fill them. We need 3 open roster spots to fill our needs (Wade?, Bogut?, Tony Allen?) and we need to get this done soon, before the season. We currently have 17 players under contract. 5 need to go. I understand that the trade deadline is when the bigger deals "might" happen, but what if nothing happens and no big names or all-stars become available? We need to be ready when we start the season. I think Jefferson either gets dealt now or retires, and the Cavs need to decide if they are keeping Tavares and Felder or cutting them. Frye and Shumpert are the 2 bad contracts that are probably gonna cost us assets to deal. Frye fell out of Lue's rotation completely, as did Shumpert due to not playing up to par. Maybe we get lucky and get to keep Zizic or Osman somehow, but Frye and Shumpert are not gonna be easy to move, especially Shumpert.
