Haha thank you sir Now I just have to tough out the next few days until he officially says he's coming back to Cleveland. The Cavs might get Antawn Jamison for the 30th draft pick in a weak draft. Amazing.
As it would appear. The trade has clearly already affected team chemistry and some of those buckets Jamison is getting is as a result of LeBrons passing ability, he doesnt look that great. Now I know it will take time to adjust to the team but at what cost? Potentially home court vs. the Lakers in the finals? The Mavs helped out the Cavs cause by winning last night against LA but I now can see the Lakers being #1 seed in the league going into the post season.

Good points. I wonder why everybody was so tickled they got Jamison. He is a decent ball player, but he is not a winner. He is a good person and a model citizen, but not a winner on the court. He hasn't never proved to be a winner anywhere in the NBA. Stats are overrated. I want the guy that does the little things like a Anderson Varejo that contributes to winning. Alot of what Anderson does don't show up in a box score. Jamison is a good guy but he is a box score player.

Anderson Varejao = Trevor Ariza (2009)
Consummate glue guy, that doesnt care about his stats. Gets the hustle stats that dont show up on the scoreboard. Also both have been replaced by older, more expensive, less helpful players.
Did anybody think the Cavs had trouble scoring B4 Jamison. The trade to me really seemed like the rich kid who could never be pleased i.e. Cavs management.

I have nothing to say other than you nailed it. Exactly my thoughts.. Thanks for spelling Anderson last name right.. I missed it.

Sry for the double post. Davis has a cluster****s of all cluster ****s at he Forward position. Need someone to get nicked up to free up minutes.
Do you mean Mike Brown? Z will be splitting time with Shaq. Jamison and Varejao will split the PF time with Hickson getting a few minutes at times.

I disagree here. Varejao will still get plenty of time, and Jamison is a much better starter than Hickson. Jamison makes team unable to double Shaq in the post and provides great floor spacing. It's going to take Mike Brown a few games to figure out how to use his new lineups best, but this was a no-brainer deal. And yes, the Cavs did still have some trouble scoring, especially with Lebron out of the game. Jamison fixes that.
