Do you not have access to a television set?

Did you not watch the Bogut set screens for Curry for the last 3 years? Don't you want that fat ass on your team backing down on opponents with his big tushy while Korver comfortably sets up for wide open 3's? He would probably take more attempts and make them at an ever better percentage.(is it possible?)
I can't seem to forget how much I was shouting at the TV every time bogut sat a screen and I want it on my team for once.

The Cavs will protect themselves and give Williams a second ten-day.

Anything can happen in the NBA. If he gets hurt on a ten day, no harm, no foul. If he gets hurt on a rest of the year deal, that's gonna ding Gilberts pockets a lot worse because we will have no choice but to waive him(deadline will be over, etc) and fill the roster spot.

I also think overall, it's probably slightly cheaper for them to do a 2nd ten day.

And there's always the chance that after the break/watching some tape, the league adjusts to Williams, and he reverts to "Bad D-Will". Again, way easier and cheaper to cut bait on a ten day at this point. (Now, I don't think this will happen, I really think Williams is going to keep playing the way he's been playing on his first 10 day for the rest of the year...but just a hypothetical)

And of course, always a chance that the trade deadline/buy-out market ends up going insane and unforseen quality players end up available.
Just for argument sake, say Dallas buys out Deron and Bogut and Chicago buys out Wade and they all want to come here...I know...not happening...but for the sake of argument... We basically have 3 roster spots that are not 100% locked in, IMO. Derrick's spot, our open spot and McRae's spot. But if there's only 3 spots, and Bogut, Deron, and Wade want all 3....well, that would be rough for Derrick. If that were to magically happen, I would still seriously think about waiving Liggins for D-Will. Unfortunately, I don't think that will be a problem, but was just giving an example of a situation.

Ultimately, I think the Cavs will sign D-Will to a 2nd ten day, and then eventually sign him for the year. We will use a trade exception to acquire a big. We will give McRae away for free, and then we will sign the best PG on the market after the March 1st buy-out deadline. If no buy-outs of need occur, then I think it will be Chalmers or Jordan Farmar in that last spot

Kyrie/Buyout/Liggins
JR/Korver-Shump
Bron/Shump-Korver/RJ
Love/Williams/TRADE
TT/Frye/TRADE

I'll go to war with that team.

Now you are doing this template man?... I did like how you used the two slots as buy outs. However news is Bogut does not want or hope to be traded. Also who ever this buy out PG better be Mo Will good. Ajinca I think as how it is spelled is a good option for a MLE trade in my opinion. D-Will earned more than to eat up a roster spot for the rest of the season. Now get Ajinca and Chalmers and I am good. I agree with Farmar to he is not as bad as people make him out to be like they did with D-Will.

I always feel pretty accomplished when I can get through reading one of your posts and actually understand everything you’re saying :chuckle:
 
as far as the Stephenson vs Williams. debate. Stephenson is out with an Ankle injury and might not get a new 10 day contract.


Lance Stephenson is looking at a two-week recovery from his Grade 2 ankle sprain, tweets Darren Wolfson of 5 Eyewitness News in Minneapolis. Stephenson’s 10-day contract expired this weekend, and it’s uncertain whether the Timberwolves will be interested in signing him again once he has recovered.

I'm not sure I'd be worried. If anything that's a sign they'd be ready to go for something else.

Though he's played well, so it's a risk to drop him unless you know it's an upgrade. If they let him go and add, say, Tyreke and Terrance Jones, I don't really have an issue TBH.
 
Maybe they're gonna wait till game day to sign him. Get the most out of the 10 day.
 
This is a random ass question, but since Williams ten day expired, can he even use the Cleveland Clinic Courts?

Poor guy, he's at the YMCA and our team is in the cryo-lab inside CCC.
 
From Vardon

When Williams signs, he'll get a 10-day deal for $67,700. If the Cavs need his roster spot to complete a trade by Thursday's deadline, they could just terminate the contract and then re-sign him. If he were to sign for the rest of the season and Cleveland needed room to make a trade, the club would have to consider waiving him -- and losing him.

I'm assuming what this means is that terminating a 10 day deal does not subject a player to the Waivers process, as he would be if an actual regular contract was waived/terminated

You don't have to be contracted to use the court. It would be the same as bringing guys in for a workout.

But if he doesn't want to use the cavs facility i have a guest pass to LA fitness ready for him.
