Re: Cavs sign Jamario Moon to offer sheet

Assuming we get him, I hope he'll take what used to be Wally's minutes. We're definitely improved with him playing instead of Wally, especially at the defensive end.

I've got a gut feeling that Mo may have had some influence with this ...I've gotta make some calls once I'm free to make some calls.

Alabama connections?

Re: Cavs sign Jamario Moon to offer sheet

But, I just see it as curious that nothing was mentioned in the conversations I had yesterday.

Uh oh....

Wine and Gold has been removed from the "circle of trust"...

I remember hearing that we had interest in Moon earlier in the season. Great signing if we get him; he is just worlds above Kurz and Barnes IMO.

Moon with the remainder of the MLE, and Kurz for the BAE, that would be sick, considering what else is left...

Re: Cavs sign Jamario Moon to offer sheet

So when you watched him play before did you actually pay any attention? Just look at their career stats...not really the same player at all.

Tarence Kinsey 6'6" 185 lbs
FG% .453
FT% .817
3P% .324
AST 0.5
RBD 1.3
STL 0.6
BLK 0.0
PPG 4.7


Jamario Moon 6'8" 205 lbs
FG% .478
FT% .794
3P% .344
AST 1.2
RBD 5.4
STL 1.1
BLK 1.1
PPG 7.8


The difference is the things you probably wouldn't notice just watching 1 game. Moon plays pretty decent defense, plays the passing lanes reasonably well and has the ability to block a shot or two. He's also not afraid to stick his nose in the mix to grab some rebounds.

Blanket statements like he's a "terrible shooter" are just asinine when you consider he shot 0.468 from the field last year and Mo Williams, who we'd all consider a pretty good shooter I'd assume, shot 0.467.

Yea, I only watched one game. Please, don't tell me what I have watched and not watched, because you're a fool.
Yea he's a goood shooter because of his FG%... Because we know an athletic player such as himself is only taking jumpers, get a clue.

Probably the same TOOL that had the 'cavs insider' twitter account with the name Max attached. Although if it really is Ben, then i appologize.

Re: Cavs sign Jamario Moon to offer sheet

I recently woke up and was like WTF:chuckles:...This signing came out of no where...But my immediate thoughts was ferry is doing this b/c MIA is after odom and booz....They need to save as much as possible and try to get some rotation spots open if thats the case...I like our chance with him

Its not shocking that moon is a ferry type high character guy...He brings a lot of energy and can really play D...Off the top of my head he isnt a good 3-pt shooter...He is a similar player to Ariza IMO...

D-wade may not be happy with losing moon...He really liked that man basketball wise when he was traded to MIA...Reason is for his dunking skills and that energy he brings...I would be really glad with that signing

Maybe parker had some influence with this signing since they played together...?

If this dont pan out,kleiza should be next...He may not be likely but its worth a try..

Source: Cleveland Cavaliers sign Miami Heat's Jamario Moon to Offer Sheet

The Cleveland Cavaliers have continued their offseason remodeling by signing restricted free agent Jamario Moon to an offer sheet, according to NBA front-office sources.

Although the full details of the offer sheet are unlikely to be known until Monday, when the contract is submitted to the league office, sources told ESPN.com that the deal Moon signed Friday spans at least two years.

The Miami Heat will have seven days to match the offer once it's formally processed, but Cleveland would appear to have a good chance of landing Moon given Miami's well-chronicled desire to avoid new contracts longer than one year to protect its 2010 salary-cap space.

There are exceptions to that policy, as evidenced by Miami's well-chronicled attempts to sign Lamar Odom away from the Los Angeles Lakers. The Heat, though, have multiple players at Moon's position -- Daequan Cook, James Jones and Yakhouba Diawara -- even if they don't land Odom, raising doubts about their ability to keep him.

After trading for Shaquille O'Neal and signing Anthony Parker to take their payroll beyond the $80 million mark, Cleveland has spent the past week looking for free-agent bargains as it tries to add depth at the wing positions and find a power forward that can stretch the floor with his jumper. The Cavs had been linked in recent days to forwards such as Rob Kurz and Sean May before signing Moon.

Danny is giving the fans a signal of getting all his free agents from a certain team. Will this all lead up to getting our man bitch????

Re: Cavs sign Jamario Moon to offer sheet

Nobody start a "watch" thread on this please

The more depth the better and he can finish at the rim which is always a plus when you've got LeBron whiping you passes into the paint expecting you to finish.
