Cavs make offer to Russian FA SG Alexey Shved [signs with Wolves]

KHAN

Actually it's KAHN

For what it's worth, Brad Miller retired in a teary-eyed final homegame for the Wolves.

Why is Zangief cradling Brad Miller as he leaves the floor and when did Minnesota get him?

Shved looks good: he might be the one guy we may regret not getting aggresive about signing

I don't know...I think he needs the ball in his hands to be most affective and would be better served as a 6th man point-forward than a pure SG (which seems to be what he will be in MN).....probably a better fit in Cleveland than the PG laden T-Wolves roster, but that's his fault for choosing them at the same price.

Still not sure what the hell his agent was thinking.

You've got to think it was the euro connection which swung him to the Wolves. Their starting line-up has two guys from overseas and perhaps that had some appeal? Also, asking players to think logically is a big leap of faith.

Schved is great in the pick and roll but not a 2 guard. He clearly chose minny due to ak47. But finding mins will be tough. Hes flashy and so he should get plenty of highlights

[Pioneer10]

Fucking KHAN. Shved just dropped 25 on Argentina in the bronze medal game.

Yeah but shved is so up and down, there are times when he totally breaks plays, gets caught in the air and is just a turnover machine. Also he can't guard a position in the NBA. He made some great plays but he is not someone who helps you win a championship in the NBA

[Tornicade]

how do you regret a guy choosing not to sign with you. you dont you move on to the next guy and go from there.

Are you kidding me! Who has more international flavor than your Cleveland Cavaliers?

Kyrie Irving - Australia

Anderson Varejao - Brasil

Tristan Thompson - Canada!

Samardo Samuels - Jamaica

Michael Eric - Nigeria

Omri Casspi - Israel

Kelenna Azubuike - England

Tyler Zeller - Russia

Okay that last one isn't true but he could pass for Russian..

Semih ain't on the team no more.

Semih ain't on the team no more.

Micheal Eric is Nigerian

Were gonna regret this one. Kid could be the next Manu. Dude ia like a carbon copy. Hope he kills in Minnesota

Once again...as Torn said, how can we reget a guy we didn't sign? For all we know, the guy was using the Cavs as leverage to get a better deal elsewhere. If he wanted an opportunity to play and play immediately, why would he have gone to Minny who has 37 guys at the 2 and 3? I just don't think he wanted to be here in the first place.

It's like that super hot chick you asked out but she denied you. Would you regret not dating her if she was never really interested in you in the first place? No, because you never actually had a chance.

[Jon]

Minnesota didn't offer Shved a max contract, so it's hard to say we never had a chance...
