So what. They have a better defense than you are giving them credit. Cavs fear orlando. Everytime they go up big in a game against them orlando doesnt quit and retakes the lead. Sometimes it ends in a win sometimes no. Cavs dont worry be but the celts if they get healthy probably do.

Sorry your Nets team is a piece of shit organization.

Thinking drafting John Wall would be enough to get LeBron to sign with the Nets.

Everyone plays by the 'rules'. It's called the luxury tax, and many teams like the Wiz, and more glaringly the Suns, aren't willing to pay it. And teams aren't even obliged to even reach the cap, only be profitable or stay out of the red as much as possible. So now, and we can blame Gilbert for this, the Wiz are simply unloading all big stars and burdensome contracts and have gone into complete rebuilding mode by acquiring expiring ones and eventual buyouts.

I will say this again loud and clear. If Z finds his way back to Cleveland, they should be investigated. I already think they can win a title without him and almost certainly will win one with him. There is no way in hell that Ferry didn't give a wink and a nod with a attache case full of case full of green (well we now have online transfers but that doesn't sound as impactful) to Z as he headed for his plane out of Cleveland IF he comes back. This is complete bullshit.

A shrewd GM move, up amongst the greatest of all-time, was Marbury for Kidd. That Suns coveted Marbury. The Nets coveted Kidd. Trade approved, more specifically, fleecing approved.

This 'trade' is a proverbial U-Haul dropoff for the Cavs and everyone saw it coming after Butler (arguably their best player) was given away for a crippled Josh Howard on the back end of his career.

Ferry gets little credit here outside of the fact he was at the door first when it was opened. He's paying attention to his star but this fell right in his lap.

I will repeat it a third time. There should be an internal investigation by the NBA if Zydrunas Ilgauskas comes back to the Cavs in 30 days.

By the way, I never wanted or saw Lebron coming to Jersey. Never wanted because the Nets would immediately lose their identity, however poor that is at this point, if he ever came. I would no longer be a fan and couldn't be identified as a legitimate one outside of 3000+ posts on a gambling website with a former 12th man as an avatar.

I only want the trade market in NBA to fair and balanced which it is most certainly not even remotely close to (much like our late night talking head rabble rousers).

Lucky as a pig rolling in its own shit, Ferry is...
