Parker, Cavs agree to deal (Inked - pg. 83)

[Benedict_Boozer]

Does anyone have any more information on the terms of the contract? I heard someone say it was for less money than we thought.....

Supposedly 2yrs / $5.5MM

Which is amazing for us.

That could leave theoretically $3.0-3.5 mil from the original MLE........sweet.

If true that 3mil or so would be a great chip to us in negtiations for someone like Kleiza. Nice stuff.

On BSPN's ticker I believe it stated he signed for 2 years for a total of 5.5 million. I didn't see any specific breakdown as to the dollar amount per yer though.

What I like about what Parker said in the press conference is that he benefits from players who attracts a lot of attention (LeBron & Shaq). That is the exact type of player we need. He is also willing to accept any role on the team, as long as he fits in. Great guy with a great personality.

I think that the thing you need to begin to utilize with any board you may find that is as popular as this one, is, make use of your user options and, as you go, make note of the users that provide quality, and those that don't.

Over time, those that don't you need to add to your list of blocked users, and you will no longer have to wade through all the meaningless postings, and you will just graudally weed out all the useless material and get right to the people that provide the meat and potatoes here.

You'll find the top reputations on the site provide superior, and deep and indepth quality that's unmatched anywhere. You lock in those top 75-100 members and you're good as gold.

Or you can do what I do, and bookmark a link to a search for posts that W&G has made...

I still can't believe Toronto let him go so easily. He is worth a lot more than they think.

Yeah well they got hedo turkeyglue.... The could not afford him. Hedo and Parker are not to far off. Hedo Is a better player but parker brings something else. Hedo will be a upgrade there. Im glad He gave us parker lol thanks hedo!

Im having a hard time figuring out why everyone wants Kleiza over Barnes. Barnes is a much better finisher and defender. Im not sure Kleiza would get many minutes with MB due to his defense.

I like Kleiza as a deep shooter more than Barnes, but the numbers dont bare out that he's a better deep shot maker.

I wouldnt be upset with either player, my preference is to wait it out and see who comes available late. The team will win a ton of games as constructed, so any additions should be impact ones.

Because he is taller and more legit playing the 4. the Cavs are supposedly looking for a player that can back up both forward positions and Kleiza seems to be more likely to have success at that. And the shooting is pretty crucial when whoever the person is, he will live off of Lebron and Shaq kickouts.

Kleiza cannot guard a single PF in the NBA. Bigger or not, Barnes is still the better defender. It looks like Cle has plenty of shooters.

Maybe another guy with size, who can put it on the floor, would be a good addition at this point. Hickson and Jackson can back up at 4... Lebron too.

• Cleveland appears to have scored one of the better bargains of the summer with a two-year deal worth an even $5.5 million to hook swingman Anthony Parker, who still has no shortage of admirers even though he's 34.

That might be something like:
2009-10: $2,650,000
2010-11: $2,850,000

We have about $3.2 mil left of our MLE. Throw it at Kleiza.
