What about Kleiza?

6'8, 245, SF/PF tweener that can definitely spread the floor. Likely a sign n' trade would be required. I like a small ball line up of:

Mo
Delonte
Lebron
Kleiza
Varajeo

I'd love to get him, if it were at all possible.

Sounds like Denver might withdraw their qualifying offer, making LK a unrestricted FA. Perhaps Denver would be interested in Boobie as a backup PG to Billups.

Would love it. Unlikely to happen.

Yeah, you're probably right. This would certainly be the (second) most aggressive move of the summer. It's too bad, I think he is a better fit than virtually all the other FA PFs that the Cavs have been chasing.

they dont need a backup pg when they have ty lawson so why would they want a large contract just to be their third stringer

We have nothing good to offer for Kleiza in a sign and trade. I also don't think we are pursuing him anymore since we just made a contract offer to Powe.

we will keep Kleiza and no way in hell we will take Gibson

I thought I read he was considering a contract in Europe...? Anyone know more?

The sad part is the guy who fits best(barring defense, never put his all in it) is old , has a bad contract, and is on a rival team. Antawn jamison fits perfectly between Lebron and Shaq.

But Kleiza would be great if we could trade for him.

This is just a random question because I dont feel like making a new topic. Lets say we don't have the cap to sign another max free agent like they said. If this was the last deal left at the trade deadline do we take it:

Cavs out: Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Boobie Gibson, 2nd rd pick

Cavs in : Antawn Jamison, Javaris Crittenton, Brian Cook

Houston in: Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Deshawn Stevenson, 1st rd pick lottery protected

Houston out: Shane Battier, Brian Cook, Chuck Hayes, Brent Barry

Was in: Shane Battier, Daniel Gibson, Chuck Hayes, Brent Barry, 2nd rd pick

Was out: Antawn Jamison, Deshawn Stevenson, Javaris Crittenton, 1st rd pick lottery protected

Cavs:

Mo williams/ Javaris Critteton
Delonte West/ Anthony Parker
Lebron/ Jamarion Moon/ Green
Antawn Jamison/ Brian Cook/JJ Hickson
Shaq/ Anderson Varajao

Washington will vomit all over that.
