Rashard Lewis...would you take him? 

Post#1 » by darthmerrick » Fri Nov 12, 2010 9:02 pm

Seeing as the only whole the Cavs seem to have is SF. Would you take Lewis and the remaining two years on his contract if Orlando offered him to you for that Trade Exception? He can be an affective starting SF when he's not being misused.

How awesome would a first round 4 VS 5 matchup be with Cleveland knocking out Miami?

The season just started, so you cannot really dismiss his salary this year. Would I take 3 years of Lewis for our TPE? Nope.
Well at least we're not Detroit!

couldn't do it anyways. his contract is about 5 million over the 14.5 million threshold. even if we could do it, the answer would still be no

I wouldn't even want him for Jamison. He is being paid way more than he should get for what he brings.

Rebuilding doesn't mean you have to be the mop that cleans your own floor.

Everybody needs an affective small forward.

I'd take him... if he came with Daniel Orton and a 2013 1st rd. pick.

So do the Magic. We just wish Stan the man would play him more in his natural position of SF. Can't believe you guys have a thread on Shard, he's commonly referred to as the most overpaid player in the NBA. The Magic are stuck with his albatross of a contract for way too long.

Jeff Green would be a more effective SF, and cost a fraction of what Shard does even if we were to grossly overpay him this upcoming offseason.
