I hope your sources are right

I hope your sources are right

I have unnamed sources that's better than Woj

I hope your sources are right

would be an ice pickup - especially with Mo Williams possibly having some not so good knee issues....

Frye sure rained down some open threes last night....lets add another shooter...sounds good to me....esp if shump keeps having shoulder isssues- if u remember that shoulder really limited him in the finals last year- he couldnt lift his arm over his head.

He'd be dumb to go anywhere not Cleveland, OKC, Spurs or Warriors.

I saw something about the Hawks.

Why in the blue hell would be go back there?

He would be great with the Thunder.

But, they have a very slim chance of beating the Spurs and Warriors.

So, why bother?

You need all the scorers you can get against the Warriors.

Your GM should see if Ray Allen and Reggie Miller are available.

Would like to see Joe Johnson come back to Atlanta, but he's probably going to Cleveland.

thats for sure....its just a nice guard against injuries---- i mean- in the Finals last year- we all know how Kyrie only played in game 1, and Love was out and Varejao was out----- but Delly was so exhausted from being overused that he had to be hospitalized--- and Shumpert aggravated his shoulder and was playing at far less than 100% ---- i am sure the Warriors were beat up to a certain extent too (actually im not ! )- but with guys like Joe Johnson and Frye and Mo- the Cavs have LEGIT players to bring in- instead of guys like Marion, Miller, Haywood, Perkins, etc. who looked COOKED last year.

They were cooked.

Look...I like Andy and all and he was a Cavs can favorite.

But, the Cavs clearly needed to do something.

Andy was an older, broken version of Tristan with a sideshow Bob afro.

That's not gonna help you when Speights is hitting 3's or they go small with Draymond at the 5.

You guys needed Frye.

As far as Johnson, I read an interesting stat about him on spot up jumpers.

As long as he is not going Iso, he can help you.

yah...i agree with the ISO thing- he needs to be VERY CLEAR that this is not his show- but i gotta think he knows that. Would be interesting- Warriors got Varejao, I think the Mavs just got Lee right? Cavs get Johnson maybe? The Bucks got Novak already who is a solid 3 pt shooter......Johnson could add some nice shooting and size to the back court...

Oklahoma City and Atlanta can both offer him more money and more playing time than the Cavs- so its not a done deal by any means with Johnson. I hope it happens....

seriously- if injuries occur again I feel a lot better with a bench mob of like Mo Williams, Frye, Joe Johnson, Jefferson than Marion, Miller, Haywood, Perkins, ---that def a solid upgrade...

 

[WiggyRuss]

Would like to see Joe Johnson come back to Atlanta, but he's probably going to Cleveland.

from what I hear its def possible--- they would give him the biggest role and most money- and it is home to a certain extent...

Andy is CLOSE to cooked- but im telling ya- obviously he was EXTREMELY fresh because he never played- but when he played he played some decent D, and rebounded and hit some of those 15 footers---- at this point - Frye is better--- I was watching the other night and Frye is still an NBA athlete...Andy is really really close not to being an NBA athlete anymore but he mitigates that with his effort and intelligence.

Frye has a great shot....I am interested to see him and Love play together a little bit and have Frye stretch the floor and Love in the post--- I wonder if Love has ever played with a big that could stretch the floor for HIM instead of always being the big taht stretched the floor...thatll be interesting to watch i think. Obviously Frye is no game changer- at best he is our 8th guy i would think- prob not even that- but he helps.

Joe Johnson to Cleveland.......according to my sources

Sauces.

 

[ChrisGar15]

Sauces.

Actually given the choice between JR Smith & Joe Johnson -- I'd take JR. (only with this Cavs team ... different chemistry changes it ... I'm not a JR fan)

JJ adds depth and some spot up shooting. But if Cavs are healthy in the playoffs, he might not play much.

JJ would play critical minutes with OKC. Also, he'd be better than Barbosa in some spots for Ws.

 

[ChrisGar15]

Boston reporter says that Cs were trying to get Melo but Melo would not agree to trade with Boston.

Bradley Beal was another target of the Celtics. (Okafor also -- but that has been widely reported.)

 

[WiggyRuss]

not that anyone probably cares- but i won my first case today....obviously i dont have my license yet as i have not taken the bar yet- but for the last class i am taking is the "clinic" where you need at least 90 pro bono hours...

I had a case about this lady who was a 18 year employee who was terminated and denied unemployment benefits. She was a single mom and really got screwed over. We got the state of Ohio to overturn their initial decision and give her the unemployment benefits due to her since she was terminated a few months ago- Obviously my professor was in the room for the hearing, but i did the entire hearing my myself and we got here a few thousand dollars -- and as a single mom it was a big deal. pretty cool.

Good job, man. I went to law school in Ohio, but I'm from California and I practice here.

The case I was a juror on settled after 1 day....they realized it was a stupid case I believe

He would either be a sixth man or put Kyle on the bench and make him the sixth man. I've been wanting the Hawks to make Korver a sixth man for a while.

 

[wildturkey]

Cleveland should stay off Joe Johnson. They just added Frye. Focus on actually developing a consistent unit. We're almost 2 years into it and Love/Irving/Lebron still haven't found the right balance yet. You can't get cohesion if you're adding in players every 6 months. They have enough trouble as is when Irving is healthy because the offense just becomes a "take turns" thing where they are metering out touches. You want to complicate that with Iso Joe?
