Goodbye Larry Nance Jr.

[cavsfever]

What a class letter. He made it clear he wanted the trade to a contender but at the same time left no doubt about his loyalty to Cleveland. Fantastic character guy, hope he stays healthy and contributes in Portland.

Class move by Larry to praise the Cavaliers and particularly Koby. Class family.

Portland @ Cleveland Nov 3rd.

I liked Nance Jr... I didn't want to see him go!

 

[CavsFanJapan]

Hope to run into him out here in Portland. That would be cool.

 

[SoCalCavsFan]

Hope Larry can find a role with the organization once his playing days are over. A class act.

 

[Alec]

I feel a little better knowing he wanted out.

edit: a lot better I think.

 

[Pioneer10]

I hate this move

Portland already had Dame, now they are clearly my 2nd favorite team. Not even a close 3rd exists now.

 

[CavsKermit]

I liked Nance. He clearly moved the needle for the team. But he simply missed too many games, on top of Love missing too many games, for him to be a core player. I'm better on the trade knowing that Nance asked out, not good, but I've worked my way up to meh.

From Larry's agent, if anyone had any doubt at this point about the motive for this trade;

Larry would like a chance to play in the postseason in high level games.”

Bartelstein said Altman was reluctant to trade Nance. The GM had turned down several trade offers for the Revere High product in the past.

“Really, this started with a call from me,” said Bartelstein. “We wanted to find two things: A place where Larry would like to play and a deal where the Cavs would get real value in return.”

So bring LNJ for the end of his career and when we might be a playoff team?

I'm all for bringing Nance in for a retirement tour after we did the same for Varejao.

Anything but the LeBron retirement tour.

I am not a Lebron hater personally, but he doesnt need a retirement tour, his entire career has been nothing but fanfare and self serving.

Yeah. If he retires with a Cavalier jersey? Fine. But no actual basketball playing... the Cavs don't need the entire team blown up to try to get a title again until they have one or two talents warranting that.
