as far as I can remember, the Cavs have only lost 2 players in the expansion drafts, Jason Kapono or Dell Curry. However, it appears that unlike most expansion drafted players, both of those appear to have been headed for long careers.
Which do you think was the bigger loss.
Clearly LeBron could have used Kaponos outside shooting and the Daugherty/Price Cavs absolutely could have used another player to help their teams over the hump.
Who was the bigger expansion draft loss for the Cavaliers?

It's funny that two of the best 3 point shooters of all time were lost by the Cavs in expansion drafts, I think that Curry was a better player because he has a quicker release, Jason takes to long to tee up his shot sometimes. I believe though that Jason would be perfect with Lebron and hence give us a better chance to win a championship, so I am going to go with Jason.

Two things.
1) Kapono would never see the floor under Mike Brown's "offense"... (which is actually just more defense only with us controlling the ball)
2) Kapono would have never been able to shoot that well here because, lets face it, only 1 player every 15 years or so is allowed to shoot the ball well when they play for Cleveland and Boobie already has that role locked up. Cant break the Cleveland tradition/curse.

Gerald Wilkens to the Grizzlies was another one.
So its Dell Curry to the Hornets.
One more strong bench player for the only real shot the Cavs ever had at winning it all.
Price and Harper in the backcourt, Daughtery and Nance up front, with Mike Sanders at SF.
Then this is the bench; Hot Rod Williams, Dell Curry, Craig Ehlo, then your usual fillers.
3 guard rotation and the bench depth would've been enough to give the BAD BOY era Pistons more of a fight.
