Welcome Derrick Williams

Eh.......what? I am thoroughly confused choosing Williams over Stephenson. I do not understand.

 

[Sir'Dom Pointer]

Okay, i'm having a bad day as it is, but what is Griffin thinking? Williams does nothing for us while he let Stephenson sign elsewhere.
I'm disappointed and concerned if he thinks that the Cavs need to target those kind of players.

The only worse news I could have gotten this morning was LeBron breaking his leg celebrating in the locker room last night.

Doesn't protect the rim, doesn't play defense on the perimeter and doesn't make teammates better.

Get the fuck out of here with this shit.

 

[Rich]

Whatever. I guess we will see if it works out. But at no point in their careers has Williams been better than Stephenson, and I don't expect it to start today.

 

[bigfoot5415]

Wtf? Where does he even fit from a rotation standpoint?

 

[MarkyCavs88]

How have we picked derrick williams over lance stephenson ?

 

[Lyuokdea]

My guess is if the big three are resting we'll need a 9th player tonight.

I can't be opposed to taking a 25yo player with raw talent on a 10 day contract to be the 14th off the bench - will it work out? Maybe not, but no reason not to investigate.

 

[FrontPageNews]

The exact opposite of what we need

Wtf? Where does he even fit from a rotation standpoint?

I, ugh....well lets just play basketball!

That was the other thing about Lance. He could take up one of the spots between the trio of guards who aren't very good, McCrae, Felder, and Liggins. Stephenson takes that spot.

 

[Just Checkin]

Remember when people thought he should have been selected over Kyrie

On one hand it's nice to see the Cavs spend some money to alleviate some of the depth for now. On the other hand...for Derrick Williams? We'll wait and see how that works out

 

[MarkyCavs88]

didn't he score 17 points against us this season for Miami? i know we probably had frye guarding him haha

 

[Lyuokdea]

The FO obviously thinks the bigger changes will be coming later - either at the trade deadline, or after the buyout period. That's why we've done nothing, and now are just looking at 10 day contracts.

On a 10 day contract (with a low probability that we resign a player afterwards) I'd rather have Derrick Williams than Farmar -- we know what Farmar is...

I'd rather have Stephenson, I agree -- maybe the Cavs thought the attitude issues were too big for a guy who would likely be gone in 10 days anyway?

Here I thought the Cavs valued the open roster spot.....

I just hope we don't fuck around and try him at the 3. That experiment with him needs to die. He's a small 4.
