Re: We sign saras?!!?
Well it looks like it's close but not a done deal: I trust Windhorst's reporting -
Quote:
Rumors from Israel to Lithuania to Ohio have the Cavaliers coming to an agreement with point guard Sarunas Jasikevicius.
Two Eastern Conference executives said Wednesday, though, that there is no deal in place and the Cavaliers are still considering their options at point guard. The executives indicated Jasikevicius is expected to make his decision by the end of the week.
The Cavaliers are believed to be a front-runner, but the Indiana Pacers and Utah Jazz have also shown interest. The Cavaliers do have other options.
Los Angeles Clippers restricted free-agent guard Marko Jaric is expected to visit the Cavaliers today or Friday. The Cavaliers are also believed to be exploring trades or sign-and-trade deals to acquire a point guard.
Other free agents that interest them, according to league insiders, are Miami Heat free agent Damon Jones, Portland Trail Blazers free agent Damon Stoudemire and Washington Wizards restricted free agent Steve Blake.

Re: Saras shows intrest to play for Jazz
Didn't Sarunas say he wanted a starting pg job and to play for the NBA championship. Going to Jazz might not give him either. The Jazz already have 3 pg on roster(McLeod,Lopez,Williams). Plus they are far far away from a NBA title. I believe that Sarunas wasnt offered the money he wants from the Cavs so he is play the market to try and make the Cavs throw more money at him.

Re: We sign saras?!!?
^
You could be right. This could all be posturing, gamemanship, and politics. Ilgauskas's situation was similar, as teams like Atlanta popped up as serious options down the stretch, despite the fact he was set on returning to Cleveland. It seems like players always want to say they're talking to other teams, have other options and aren't desperate as a way to maintain their strength in the negotiation process. If Sarunas goese elsewhere, I'll stand corrected and see he thought going elsewhere was better for his career. But if he comes to Cleveland, I'll see this situation as last second hustling.

Re: We sign saras?!!?
Hey if it works they will do it. Players now a days care about money first. Winning is not part of the equation if you can get more money on a losing team. For me winning is the main goal in sports. Athletes have lost sight of that and have turned their focus on the dollar bill.

athletes want to win. but players can be traded. there's no assurance they'll be on that 'winning' team.

It appears Sarunas it leaning toward Utah at this point.
or ar least that is what Real GM is reporting.
RealGM.com is reporting that Jasikevicius is leaning toward accepting Utah's offer.
Indiana is also interested in Jasikevicius, but he would be a backup with the Pacers.
In Cleveland, he would be the Cavaliers starting point guard, with Eric Snow the expected backup.

The Jazz have their entire mid-level exception available and could trump Cleveland's reported three-year, $10 million offer

Still not sure about Jasikevicius
Here is another site but I'm not sure it's 100% legit.
http://www.freewebs.com/macijauskas/
Quote:
Sarunas Jasikevius has agreed to a deal.He is currently in Lithuania with teammate Zydrunas Ilgauskas,but him and Danny Ferry have agreed.Zydrunas is the main choice of Cleveland.He will wear #13 and the Cavs are still interested in Marco Jaric that could inlcude a sign and trade deal with Gooden.Jasikevicius is going to have an interview when he arrives in Cleveland on Tuesday.

Uh.. you can say that again. I just wish we could get some final confirmation on this one way or another and move on.

Re: We sign saras?!!?
**** OR GET OFF THE POT SARAS!!!
Seriously. This is driving me nuts. One minute I thought he was on the Cavs. Then the Jazz. Then Jaric. AGGHH!!!
One last time though...
If Ferry gets this done, and then does the Jaric/Wilcox--Gooden/Pavlovic...well he's a damn genius. Having Jaric as the backup to Saras and Hughes would be great.
I don't know what they'll do with Snow though. Snow would be a great third string point guard though lol. As injury prone as Jaric has been, it probably would be smart to keep Snow around. So long as he doesn't sulk.

Word. The Saras drama is quickly becoming quite annoying.
