With the flurry of activity surrounding the Cavs, some details may have been left out and some still may be unclear. This post is basically an update on where the Cavs stand in terms of assets, salary and draft picks.
The next installment of the Player Profile will look at the hard nosed Leon Powe.
Powe was recovering from a torn ACL & meniscus when the Cavaliers signed him to a 2 year deal last August, with a team option on year 2.
Leon averaged 4 points & 3 rebounds in 20 games for the Cavaliers last [...]
The Cleveland Cavaliers completed another year at the Las Vegas Summer League and once again I was fortunate enough to witness it. Therefore, I made sure to snap as many pictures as possible for those who couldn’t make it. The following is a collection of photos from various games, including several NBA rookies and Cleveland [...]
So Chris Grant, how does it feel to make your first big move in the big chair? Granted (no pun intended) signing Samardo Samuels, signing Christian Eyenga and getting something back for LeCheat were all transactions under the Grant era, this will be the first transaction Grant has made that will be put under the microscope by Cavs fans and media. So what’s the first big deal? According to various reports, the Cavs and Timberpuppies got a deal done that will send Delonte West and Sebastian Telfair for Ramon Sessions, Ryan Hollins and their own 2013 2nd round pick.
The next installment of the Player Profile is Jawad Williams, the “new hometown hero.”
The Cleveland born forward got a shot with his hometown team & showed that he can play at the NBA level. While his minutes were inconsistent, he showed some good things on the court. Jawad is currently a restricted free agent & the [...]
This latest player profile will feature 3rd string PG Sebastian Telfair. Telfair came over at the trade deadline in February from the Clippers in the 3 team trade that brought over Antawn Jamison from the Wizards.
“Bassy” averaged 10 points & 3 assists on 46% shooting for the Cavaliers, averaging over 19 minutes per contest in the [...]
Another day, another signing. This time instead of going outside the organization to sign a player, the Cavs have signed one of their own. Brian Windhorst of The Plain Dealer reported that the Cavs have signed their 2009 1st round draft pick Christian Eyenga. Since Eyenga was drafted by the Cavs, he will receive the slotted salary for the 30th pick overall which works out to be a 4-year deal worth around $5.5 million with team options for years 3 and 4 and a qualifying offer in 2014/2015.
For those of you who missed J.J. Hickson’s great performances in the Las Vegas Summer League or me gushing over them, don’t worry, Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert has got your back. Gilbert used Twitter to announce that he was joining many Cavs fans in the craze over young forward J.J. Hickson.
Hickson seems pretty pumped about [...]
Well the first official signing of the Chris Grant era is…drum roll please…Samardo Samuels. Right, Samardo Samuels. Brian Windhorst of The Plain Dealer reports that David Bauman, the agent of Samuels, confirmed the multi-year deal with the Cavs for which the first year of the deal is a partial guarantee.
Okay so with the first order of business out of the way I’m sure many fans are wondering the same thing: “Who the hell is Samardo Samuels?”
Villain – 2 : an uncouth person
3 : a deliberate scoundrel or criminal
5 : one blamed for a particular evil or difficulty
Now that the great city of Cleveland has suffered yet another injustice in the world of sports, I figured it was the right time to go back and retrospectively order the many villains that [...]
