Cavs going after Pietrius???
Quote:
Ferry wouldn't comment on specific players. Sources say the Cavs have explored a sign-and-trade deal with Warriors free agent Michael Pietrus. Pavlovic could be involved in that scenario. If he returns to the Cavs, he might be hard-pressed to remain in the starting lineup with the emergence of Daniel "Boobie" Gibson. Gibson had a strong performance at the Vegas Summer League at point guard. However, Larry Hughes is expected to remain in the starting lineup at the point, where he's played his best basketball since signing with the Cavs. His plantar fascia is almost completely healed, and he's back on the court playing in St. Louis. The Cavs' scoring increased almost 4.5 points per game with Hughes at the point. Their field-goal percentage also took an upswing. Hughes struggled mightily in the Finals - both physically and statistically - but probably isn't going anywhere. News-Herald
Cavaliers General Manager Danny Ferry declined to comment on specifics of the Cavaliers' off-season maneuvers, but said they are aggressively pursuing avenues to improve. Among those explored, a source said, is mild interest in a potential sign-and-trade deal for Golden State restricted free agent Mickael Pietrus, a 6-6 small forward. "We're exploring every option we can, either through trade or free agency," Ferry said Wednesday. Cleveland Plain Dealer
