Cavs need to get in the draft..some good talent left on the board. Daquan Cook, Tiago Splitter...come on Ferry

Ferry dropped the ball again. Phx dumped their pick for cash to Portland...2nd year in a row another team snaps up a draft pick for cash from Phx while Ferry sits on the sidelines..still some decent prospects on the board too

Don't know where he is going - does any team really want him bad? I think he'd be a great fit for a team like Orlando. He's not a great fit here but we need talent and he's got it

Yeah, I'm not sure how LBJ and Rashard would fit together on the floor, but who knows.

Well J-Rich got traded to Charlotte.

This isn't good news for the Cavs. That's another guard with talent that was available which we don't get and he fits a huge need Charlotte

Charlotte if they stay healthy won't just be a playoff contender they might be able to put a run together: Okafur, Brezec, Jrich, Wallace, Felton, Hermann, etc.:

^It feels like every other team in the East has way more talent than us (outside of LBJ obviously).

It's like getting Lebron set this team back from accumulating more draft talent, because he was so good straight out of high school we only had 1 chance at a lottery pick and blew it on Luke Jackson. We would have been better off if he had taken a normal development curve from a talent standpoint..

You look at some of the younger teams like Portland and Charlotte...they are just gonna be stacked in 3-5 yrs. Maybe Ferry needs to start focusing on adding some Int'l guys like Toronto did at this point

It's like we're going to depend on Gibson, Sasha, and AV plus Brown to make as big as leaps as they already have done. Even if they improve none of these guys outside of Gibson has potential to be a real game changer. Then taking into account that guys like Hughes, Z, Marshall, JOnes, and Snow are regressing we we end up with a team with one big mega sized star (supernova type) surrounded by a bunch of Mercuries and Venuses and an asteroid belt of once good planets err players but no real Jupiters or Saturns to complete the Solar System so to speak.

I hope that makes sense but I'm too sleepy and dissapointed right now to care

Oh I know, I'm quite a fan myself (enough to get a degree in it, anyway). And I like the analogy.

Does that make Wesley our Pluto? Can we take away his title of "basketball player"?

Well Pluto is no longer considered a planet and Wesley is no longer considered a basketball player so that works.

What degree you getting?

I have a degree in astronomy and a masters in physics. It'll be a couple more years until I get my Ph.D, which will also be in physics. I worked for a long time on a dark matter search experiment. Is Hughes our dark matter? We feel his presence but can't see any results on the court? Ok this is getting pretty nerdy at this point.
