cavs miss out on stoudemire and an nba title?

[hoopster42]

in my humble opinion, cavs getting jamison is not nearly as strong as getting stoudemire, so instead of nba champ they are now in line to make nba finals and lose to the lakers in the finals, agree or disagree?

[mlb]

Agree to lose because never thought they could beat the Lakers .. but disagree that they are not better... Jamison is a way better fit than Staudemire .... Staudy is a stud on offense ... doesn't like defense ... doesn't mesh with Shaq .. and LeBron passing the ball is so much different than Nash putting it on the money for him to do a one handed dunk down the middle every time ... I like Jamison .. respect your opinion though

who did they give up for Jamison?

[mlb]

Zzzz

[2daBank]

if big z is it then id say better deal for them as giving Hickson would have been a mistake for Stoudimire who has already provin he dont like playin w shaq fat ass

[THEGREAT30]

Cavs still make Finals, good day

[bradthebloke]

cavs all the way

Jamison is one of the most under rated players in the league, and has been his entire career. He is a low maintenance star who's only downside is his age (33).

He has averaged 20 points his entire career, and shoots in the mid 30's for 3 pointers, which is very good for a power forward. The biggest plus is that he is a guy who can guard Lewis on the perimeter and will be able to score and defend well. I like this move much better than Staudemire, for this season anyway. Now for the future maybe Staudemire would have been better.

If you have James that is all you need to win a title, Shaw also playing well.

[Fieldysnuts44]

I wish they would have gotten Staudamire but I didnt want to see them lose Hickson in the process.The kid slowing turning into a force and we will be getting Williams and West back.Go Cavs.

P.S. Sorry to see Z go but a title will make it feel better.He wasnt producing much this year but has always been a fan favorite in Cleveland,kind of like Omar is with Indians fans

jamison is a nice pickup for any team

[hoopster42]

here's the problem: now that ilgauskas is gone, when shaq gets in foul trouble or needs a breather because he's so old now, varrejo has to play center and match up with the other team's "5" because jamison is too small to D up in the paint. stoudemire woulda been nice to have as a guy in the paint who can move from the 4-spot to the 5-spot w/little problem. i still believe stoudemire was the piece but i hope i'm wrong 'cause i want cleveland to win it all

[Powderguy]

Stoudemire wouldn't have meshed well with Shaq, there was already friction in Phoenix.

would u rather give max money to amare when he has had 2 serious injuries and give up hickson?
or pay jamison for 2 years and give up a first round pick?
Z will get bought out and most likely return to the cavs

keeping hickson was important but amare has proven that he is pretty much beyond the injury problems. he is a beast in the paint, a rarity in the nba these days

[Glitch]

who did they give up for Jamison?

illgauskis basically.

[bnaid8]

I like getting Jameson for them. He is a veteran star who will not makes waves and can easily assimilate into the Cav's systems

[2daBank]

to me it just seems short term this was a better move as i said Amari and shaq didnt play well together and i dont see any reason why that would have changed....Jamison shoots better and seemingly helps space the floor better than Stoudamire would have, throw in the fact Jamison is hungry this point of his career id say he is a great fit and this isnt easy for me to admit as i dont like cle and thought it was gonna be there downfall if they got Amari (for this year anyway)

[spargament]

STOUDEMIRE IS SO OVERRATED MY HEAD IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE!!!!!!!!!!!!

jesus christ, the guy doesn't rebound, i mean seriously? 8 a game for a guy that wants to get payed max money what a joke

[carbonero77]

Lakers is more team that cleveland, with or without amare, Lakers will be win the title.

[ron8698]

Jamison still is a stud , going from an awful team to the cavs should inspire him , this just makes the cavs that much stronger

[mkasad23]

east is horrible magic will fall flat and celtics are done raptors will make some noise but other than that east is a walk in the park

Stoudemire cant guard a barstool you dont know what your talking about Jamison was a much better pick up. Hell the Suns put Grant Hill on Dirk because Amare cant defend anyone his size. I am just concerned about the size of Clevelands bench. We will all just have to see over the next few weeks if it was the right pick up.

12 deep, 13 once Z returns? If Z does return this is an absolutely brilliant move by Ferry. He didn't let Phoenix dick him around and actually used it very much to his advantage.
