And just so you know... The Cavs are interested in him... they were this summer, and I'm sure they still are.
If they can trade Wally for Corey and filler, Danny will do it.
However... Dallas wants him a lot more than we do, and they'll send more for him. So I fully expect him to be in Dallas by the deadline.
Even if his last year isn't guaranteed, they still have to pay him 10 million a year for four years. That's way more than he is worth. He doesn't play defense, he turns the ball over, he has never been a part of a real winning team, has a poor attitude, and dominates the ball (not to mention he can't really shoot and is injury prone). He's getting his 19ppg this year in a running system where almost anyone in the nba can get those kind of numbers, and he's getting those points on barely over 40% from the field to go with < 20% from 3.
The cavs may have been interested over him in the summer for a 6th man role or something like that, but not when they have to commit $10 million to him in the summer of 2010 when they want to resign lebron and hopefully find him his wing man.
Most of which is an exaggeration..or just nuts. Can't shoot..yet somehow gets 18-22 pt about 4 yr in a row? Must be luck. Cancer? What's he done? I do see various players having a FEW big scorong games for GSW...but just anyone? Consistantly?
The "Offer" was posted to every board-and is pretty bogus as "will take anything" is not how ANY GM who expects to have a job "sells" a deal. Here.....the same GM just SIGNED an expired FA...expecting he's be pretty much the player he was. That's what he's been. Compare his stats to Josh Howard for the season...about the same. Fact is...I don't see anything the Cavs have GSW would trade for and I don't think the Cavs want to invest in a guy who's ideally a SF
look at his stats if you think he can shoot. he can't, it's common knowledge. his 18-22 ppg comes from slashing and getting fouled. that has nothing to do with being able to shoot the ball. he's shooting 43% from the field and 20% from three this year. is that what you consider to be a good shooter? To think the only way to score 18-22 points a game is to be a good shooter is what's nuts. Lebron isn't a particularly good shooter, he finds a way to score.
He is a cancer. Again, this is common knowledge. Go ahead and ask in the clippers and warriors forums about what he's done. he hogs the ball, and he complains.
Almost anyone scoring 19 a game is an exaggeration. i admit that. but playing in a run and gun system does inflate stats. Look at shawn marion the last few years compared to this year. when you get to go out there and shoot at will, your ppg average will most likely go up. simple logic.
