It really depends on when you are looking at the Cavs. I think they will start the season with significantly different people than they end the season. Not to mention, they will be bringing in 4 rookies as well. Baron, Anderson (might be traded), Antawn (likely to be traded) of course JJ will stay. All the bigs will probably stay depending on who we draft, but I don't think we have enough roster space for everyone to stick around. *Sorry, not looking at a roster*

lol

as far as the OP, it's hard to say for some guys like jamison, varejao, baron, etc because we don't know what teams will offer for them (not much in the case of jamison and baron). basically....everyone on the team is available, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will be moved.

Baron, Hickson, and Andy are all legitimate NBA starters.
Everyone else is up in the air.

Sessions is a solid 8-man rotation player, but may become obsolete depending on how the draft goes.
Boobie is a solid role player but likely will never be anything else.
Jamison is obviously not a factor in the midterm and will be gone at some point next year.
Eyenga is still light years away, and Erdin might have a future.

After that unless I'm fogetting somebody the rest are just filler, that if we do things right we won't want to renew when their deals are up.

I would test the market to see if we could get any picks for Baron. He played well for us and maybe other teams liked that and dont think his contract would be a risk to take on.
Thats only assuming we draft Irving. If not then we should keep him and sessions.

i guess i would answer that with another question: who do you think is untouchable? When you look at it that way, it's clear to me that if the right offer came, anyone can be dealt. That being said, i say depending on who we draft determines how our roster will begin to take shape over time, if we draft Irving, we obviously look to keep Hickson, and deal Sessions and/or Gibson. If we get Kanter, maybe we trade Hickson and/or Andy... Our SF spot is pathetic, with Eyenga and Gee being our 1-2 punch...Eyenga's defensive potential is encouraging, but he's of little use to us (or anyone really) for the time being. I really only see Jamison,Varejao, Sessions, Gibson, Hickson and Samuels, and Davis as the only NBA players on our team lol...that being said, it's sad how we are just loaded with mediocre/past their prime PF's and PG's...here's to a few years of sucking, so we can actually draft a young core this time instead of overpaying role players to surround one egomaniac.

Keep
JJ Hickson- young talent on a rookie contract.
Ryan Hollins-pick up his option, its one year, and you have a solid backup Center.
Alonzo Gee- played good when given playing time.
Christian Eyenga and Samardo Samuels- cheap players with solid potential.
Anderson Varejao- when healthy players like him are hard to come by. And lets be honest, hes expensive.

Keep, unless even a decent trade offer comes by the desk
Antawn Jamison- but his one year contract should keep him a Cav until the deadline, or buyout season.
Baron Davis- Solid PG, 2 year contract. Depends on draft.
Daniel Gibson or Ramon Sessions- Cavs draft a PG in the 1st, one of these guys is on the way out.

"and we have some lovely parting gifts for you"
Gibson or Sessions. See above.
Hargonday, Erden, Harris- Basically any of these 3 would have to have a solid camp, not be replaced in the draft or free agency, and not get traded for peanuts. Harris is the closest to staying as the team might want to hang to a cheap 3rd pg.
Joey Graham- has never done anything horrible or great. But hes just a SF and hes a dime a dozen type. Although with him its almost $1.1 mil. So he might change categories as the team looks to not waste money if they can't swap him for something.
Anthony Parker- hes a free agent, I see him joining a playoff team as a backup wing.
Jawad Williams- 'tweener forward, 3 years in the NBA (all with the Cavs), time to move on.
