I honestly believe they could use a guy like Ben Gordon. Someone who can create his own offense and would excel off the ball with LeBron creating open shots for him at the 3 point stripe. Then a guy like Zach Randolph(though I don't know how he'll fit personality wise) would put them in the same league as Boston I believe.


You clearly have never seen Mo Williams play. He is Ben Gordon but 2 inches shorter and plays PG, but is basically a shooting guard. Mo Williams will be like a better version of Gibson. Can shoot the ball well, but will have a better move off the dribble and can push the ball. He can be wreckless at times, but often he was the only one running the break for the Bucks.


Actually I followed him since college.

IMHO with the rosters as they are today, a Boston/Cleveland 7 game series is a coin flip. Their series last year was extremely close and the Cavs have gotten somewhat better (Mo Williams is a solid player) while the Celts have gotten somewhat worse (Posey is no all-star but he is an extremely underrated glue guy and was important in their run). The Knicks bigmen are not amazing by any stretch of the imagination, but I think that the Cavs don't need a second star like other clubs to get over the hump, they just need a little bit more talent injected into their lineup. Lebron is that good and will only continue to get better.

This is probably what is going to happen, most relevant transfer ever http://www.realgm.com/src_checktrade.ph ... id=4755887
