to be safe, i think they should suspend the entire cavs organization, including players, for the next 3 years.

Forced trade of LeBron as well, Gary Neal for LeBron straight up seems like a start

We don't have the cap space. Marvin Williams and Henderson would have to go as well.

I have no problem with that. :lol:

Beasley has been working out for the Spurs.

While it's the perfect time for all of the "if Pop can't make use of Beasley, nobody can" talks, I take a look at this from a different perspective. It bothers me that guys like him can get multiple chances when the hard workers of the league like Jeff Adrien whose careers have been slowed down due to one flaw (most usually size) are living hand to mouth in the D-League.

Imo, Beasley was never that good to begin with. If you're a decent shooter you're bound to explode once in a while when you take numerous dumb long twos every game or as the great Sidney Deane once said - even the sun shines on a dog's ass some days.

Don't sure if Beasley can make the change for the Spurs and be the good sub-F. Maybe I'm wrong. But I think he's over-rated. He's not worth a place at the Spurs rotation.

Beas just doesn't scream Pops guy at you but maybe he can play the T-Mac (when he was at the end of his career) role for them if he behaves.

He'll be starting over Collison before too long.

Glad Sessions finally signed with a team.

Maybe we should have waited on Sessions.

Roberts fits our team miles better as a backup than Sessions in my opinion.

He fits, no question, but let's wait and see whether Roberts is on the same tier as Sessions or Pargo. I'm just really worried that Roberts is going to get raped by other starters anytime Kemba gets hurt.

Sessions Adrien for Ridnour Neal was a horrible trade. Maybe the final nail in the Higgins era? If so it was worth it.

He did pretty well as a starter last year. Sessions is probably the better player, but with our second unit of Henderson, Zeller and Biyombo I prefer a facilitator who can shoot. We'll see though.

Evan Turner about to sign for part of the MLE for Boston. Now who was the poster ready to spend big bucks and/or trade MKG for him? Lol.

Well he turned out to be a Turd Transformer. I never had one of those as a kid.

Sessions signs a two year, $4.2M deal with Sacramento. Interesting, his deal is cheaper than Roberts.

Looks like the FO really didn't think he was the right fit.

Either that (and they're trying their best at adding three point threats, while replacing non-threats if possible) or perhaps Sesh's agent over-estimated his value only to now end up with a worse deal.
