I agree here. I think Cleveland is missing just one piece to their championship puzzle: a second scorer. Everything else is there. If Maggette went to Cleveland, he'd supply that, and would immediately launch the Cavaliers into a battle with Boston for best team in the east.


Maggette isn't the second scorer for Cleveland. He's primarily a slasher and needs the ball to be effective, much like Hughes. A much better complement for LeBron would be a player like Redd, Allen, or Joe Johnson.

Not even Joe Johnson, he can shoot, but he doesn't really like catch and shoot that much, he handles the ball a lot, and likes to do so. Even when on Phoenix with Nash having the ball a lot, he still created a good amount his his jumpshots for himself. I agree with Redd and Allen though, but I never thought Hughes would be a good fit when they signed him anyways.

Maggette is going where the money is. My prediction, a one year $8.5 million deal with a player option for a second year with Philadelphia will be Maggette's fate.

Dalembert/Kristic/Maggette/Iguodala/Miller -- Young/Speights/Evans/FA Point Guard

Maggette can even fill in at PF (great rebounder) if the match-ups allow that to happen.

Pretty solid in the East.

LeBron needs to play off the ball some more, and have things easier for him, in the case of getting a 2nd good offensive player. Have the other guy create offense at times as a trend, rather than LeBron doing a lot of the work.

Utah or SA.

Utah needs a slasher who can get to the line.

SA needs more scoring.
