All the Cleveland Cavaliers Need Now is Chris Paul
The Cleveland Cavaliers’ starting five includes two of the greatest NBA players of the last ten years, LeBron James and Shaquille O’Neal. But what if we added another future Hall-of-Famer to the mix? What if Chris Paul donned the wine and gold?
Anything For the King: The Cleveland Cavaliers Offseason Moves in Spider Graphs
The Cleveland Cavaliers brought in Shaquille O’Neal and Anthony Parker this offseason to help LeBron James, letting the world know they won’t settle for less than an NBA championship this year. But what effect does that make statistically on their starting five—and is it enough to win a ring for the King?
How Is LeBron James Affected by the NBA’s New Salary Cap Figure?
The bad news about the salary cap made quite a splash. But not all of it was justified, especially when it comes to the future of Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James. In case you missed it, the 2009-2010 salary cap figure is $57.7 million, down from $58.68 million last year. The luxury tax level dropped [...]
Cleveland Cavaliers Nab Anthony Parker: Really, It’s a Big Deal
The Cleveland Cavaliers finally did the one thing they needed to do in free agency this year. They got Anthony Parker. The Cavaliers and Parker have agreed to terms, though a contract hasn’t yet been signed. Parker will receive a portion of Cleveland’s mid-level exception for likely two or three years. He wasn’t necessarily the [...]
It’s Official: I’m Breaking Up With Mo Williams
I really, really tried to like Mo Williams this year. Everybody said he could be that piece, that Scottie Pippen that LeBron James needs so badly. He’d be the key to the vicious inside-outside game, with LeBron at the hub. And, of course, he’d be the support needed for James to bring home a championship. [...]
Is Charlie Villanueva the Final Piece of the Cavaliers’ Puzzle?
Cleveland fans, hold your breath. Charlie Villanueva might be the piece that finally pushes the Cavaliers to a title. Cavs GM Danny Ferry has been busy the past few offseasons, struggling to assemble an adequate supporting cast around LeBron James. Though the team has gotten better, as evidenced by their league-leading 66 wins this past [...]
Why a LeBron James Injury Is What the Cavaliers Need Most
The Cleveland Cavaliers’ trade rumor mill is running on overdrive this offseason, but the real problems aren’t with their roster. What the Cavs need is for LeBron James to go out with an injury. Not a bad injury—not a season-ender. They need LeBron out of the lineup for a few weeks of the 2009-2010 season, [...]
For LeBron James, It's 2007 All Over Again
The 2007 NBA Finals weren’t fun to watch. The Cavaliers, just happy to be there, were outgunned at every position but one. The “Chosen One” aka LeBron James gave his all, but couldn’t prevent a sweep. And somehow, as much as I wish it weren’t so, it feels like 2007 again. LeBron has scored 169 [...]
LeBron James: "I'm Happy in Cleveland"
It’s the same story we’ve heard before. Guarded, carefully rehearsed with a publicist. “I think I’m happy in Cleveland,” LeBron James said on the Dan Patrick Show on Thursday. “I have no plans on going anywhere and playing the game of basketball.” It’s exactly what Cleveland fans want to hear, and exactly what New York [...]
Are LeBron James and Mo Williams a Duo Yet?
The theory exists that you need two stars to win a championship. Kobe couldn’t do it on his own, Dwyane Wade couldn’t do it on his own. Even His Airness never did it without Scottie. Having three stars on your squad, like last year’s Celtics, is certainly a bonus—but two is the minimum. Incidentally, superhero [...]
