Re: GOODBYE McInnis
I think we should re-sign Z, let McInnis go, pursue either Joe Johnson (preferably), or Michael Redd, and sign Earl Watson to run the point.

Re: GOODBYE McInnis
Finally people are coming around about McInnis:
link
Quote:
The Pacers jumped on the Cavaliers 26-20 in the first quarter. Pacers point guard Anthony Johnson had moments when he looked like Magic Johnson, driving past McInnis, making no-look passes and open, medium-range jump shots.
In 19 minutes against McInnis: Johnson had 11 points, eight assists.
In 17 minutes against Snow: six points, zero assists.
Remember that Anthony Johnson is a career backup, a guy who has passed through six teams (including the Cavaliers) in eight seasons. There was no excuse for how he was chewing up McInnis. He started only because Jamaal Tinsley was hurt. So was Pacers leading scorer Jermaine O'Neal.

Thanks for posting that article. J-Mac has finally seen measures taken against him. Let's see if it remains consistent though.

Re: GOODBYE McInnis
Interesting post Pioneer, echoes what we've all been saying for weeks now.
Also interesting that it says he realizes he won't be brought back, you'd think that would motivate him to play better to improve his free agent status. Will be a very interesting off season.

I'll be keeping an eye out on what kind of deals McInnis is offered in terms of salary per year and length of contract. If a team overpays for J-Mac, they'll be sorry.

Yup. I just hope the Cavs don't waste their MLE on him. Earlier in the season I was thinking the opposite, but at this point the Cavs need to be seriously considering guys like Daniels and Watson in FA. Maybe even trade up for a PG in the draft (though I'm not sure if the Cavs have a first rounder this year?).

I like Sasha but the lost of the first rounder for him this year might be a big loss. Utah's got our first rounder in a very deep draft class of PG's. The Sasha trade might come back to bite us

Why you are not happy??? Cavs are playing well (well, they had a little losing streak, but that happends to every team). McInnis and Harris are very good players. Every team would want them.

McInnis is a defensive liability with only average playmaking skills (which is bad when you consider he is the starting PG of the team). If Jeff isn't scoring points, he fails to get into the flow of the game. Harris was brought in for outside shooting but has never made more than one 3-pointer in a game. Which means he hasn't been consistent and reliable from deep this year. At this point, Cleveland is better giving Harris' minutes to Sasha. Not every team would want McInnis and Harris. Some teams yes but not all.

I agree, we basically have dumped 3 first rounders to solve the SG problem (Jackson, Sasha, and now Welsch) and we are about to dump some MORE money on a SG this offseason to fix the same problem.
Not smart long term.

Re: GOODBYE McInnis
Is Antonio Daniels a free agent? I know he has ties to Ohio, and I also know he would be an upgrade to McGinnis. He is stronger and moves just as quickly.

Re: GOODBYE McInnis
McGinnis has no clue of how to get the offense started. The only ones who can run a pick and roll, or a pick and fade, or a penetrate and dish are Lebron and Eric Snow. J-Mac can make that running jump shot, hit an open 3, or he can throw it to Lebron or Z. That is ALL.
That is not enough.

He's equally clueless on the defensive side of the ball = very bad combination.
