At this point I'm pretty sure Z cares about winning more than money. They can offer him whatever they want.

He's going to "show interest" in a couple teams like McDyess did before, but ultimately he's going to re-sign in Cleveland.


He better. I think we need Z, I didn't realize it before but Shaq and Andy pick up alot of fouls and having Z gives us that extra reliable big to put out there with size.

I think DEN spent their MLE over the summer? I know Dallas only has the vet min so we can out-bid them.

I don't see Z signing in DEN though with his whole family located in CLE.

I'm interested, because Jamison can't guard most high school ballers from scoring on him. And no this is not revisionist history - i've been saying for the past 5 years that Jamison is one of the worst, if not, the worst defensive player in the NBA. Yes...the worst.

Agree, everyone in Washington loves the guy because he give a good interview, but frankly can't stand him. He's a lousy defender and his professionalism and leadership are grossly overstated. If any of you have read the Book of Basketball by Bill Simmons, he is the antithesis of "the secret".

Coming from a Magic fan this might be wierd but...

I wouldn't worry about Jamison. Been following him since his days in the UNC, guy just had a bad start. I wouldn't worry, he'll be trying to prove something against us on Sunday and will have a nice game....in a loss. ;)

Jamison will BE GREAT! The guy was the most consistent on the Wizards.. I wish Jamison the best for remainder of his career.

I am not worried at all because we lost the 1st 2 games with Shaq and he was "a bad pick up". And look where that got us. EVen if we lost today it will just be a matter of time before Jamison starts to fit in.

Great pick up for the Cavs. They didn't give up much but got a player of near all-star caliber.

Don't shoot me or lock the thread over this but...

What happens if Orlando beats Cleveland in the playoffs again and Lebron bolts at the end of the season? Is Jameson the new franchise player in Cleveland?

Kinda silly to ask, but Jamison is not a franchise player
