Around the Internet
- At TheClevelandFan.com, Sam Amico sides with LeBron about not shaking hands and gives us his first Mock Draft, while Erik Cassano writes that LeBron is still learning to be a leader.
- Amar Panchmatia at Cavalier Attitude shoots down the Rasheed Wallace report from SLAM Magazine and talks about ESPN radio's Colin Cowherd practially begging Chris Bosh to sign with Cleveland. How often do you hear that from an ESPN broadcaster?
- At HoopsWorld, Tommy Beer reviews the Cavs' season and looks at what Danny Ferry needs to do in the offseason to improve the team while Bill Ingraham looks at potential trade targets for the Cavs.
- John Schuhmann from NBA.com writes about Orlando learning the difference between guarding Kobe and LeBron.
- Ken Berger at CBSSportsline.com discusses David Stern's address to the media last week. Stern talked about the NBA's declining revenues and what affect that might have on the salary cap in 2009 and, more importantly, 2010, when LeBron, Wade, and Bosh will be among many big-name free agents.
As for free agents....
I think we should try and make a run at Turkeyglue. His ball handling skills are pretty solid for a big guy and he can hit 3’s bigtime. Him and LeBron ( plus Mo on the perimeter) would be a load!
Plus Hedo has made pushing off with his non dribbling hand into an art form.! He was only called once for it last night but he does it all the time. I could probably get over my hatred of him for playing such a big role in upsetting us.

I do not see that move working at all unless he was riding the bench (in which case, I wouldn’t mind it). Otherwise, we’d have to move him to power forward… yeah, not going to happen, and I really doubt he’d play it all that well. All in all, not worth the cash.
We need someone more dominant inside on defense, not another [overrated] jump shooter.

Good points.
But I think we need more offense from our frontcourt. It seems we were in pretty good shape defensively. I don’t think we really have a decent jump shooter up front besides Z.
Alas, not being in the finals sucks anyway you slice it.
