I can't agree with that. I might as well just stop the whole "they've tried so many times to attract free agents and so many have turned them down" thing you are trying at. They flat out haven't gone after them. I know that, you're just trying to use a generalization to make up a truth that just isn't there. They lost out on Lebron and Bosh because they all wanted to play together with Wade and Cleveland, while also not likely to get the nod over Miami, couldn't afford all 3. Other than that, Cleveland has not tried going after any big name free agents in many, many years. I know it's popular to rag on Cleveland, and they are a small market. However, using 1 Joakim Noah soundbyte hardly paints the picture for the entire league.
Once again.....my quote does not say they can't get ANY free agents, the first quote says they're not lining up to go to Cleveland.
And I stand by my statements. You can pursue.....but nobody wants to go there, and you and I both know this. No major, in his prime star player, is going to sign an FA deal to play for the Cavs. It simply isn't going to happen, and you know this.
YOU were the "people" I spoke of that don't want to hear the truth.
