#Cavs have signed James Jones to one year deal for league minimum, source tells the Beacon Journal

Not a bad depth signing..

[Uncle Drew]

We're picking up shooters left and right.

[Heavincent]

I always thought Spoelstra gave him the short end of the stick. He can shoot the lights out when given the chance.

[Trollsmasher]

:rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

Next: Ray Allen :lol
not needed imho

[ArbitraryWater]

not needed imho

Ya tru.. guy can walk right into retirement tbh

[BigTicket]

Nice, we've certainly got enough shooters now.

Still in need of backup center and point guard though, which will probably be harder to come by.

[xoracle55]

Oh boy LBJ bringing his posse!

[roffie]

lebron is gonna cop so much shet if he doesnt win this year

[PleezeBelieve]

Any doubt Love is on the way!!

Delly and Dion both play PG.

Center is the biggest need.

[Mass Debator]

Can't play D or pass for shit but a great great shooter. Probably won't get any playing time.

[Warfan]

lebron is gonna cop so much shet if he doesnt win this year

Yeah I really think Jones puts them over the edge

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Mo Williams for back up PG?? Makes sense to me...

Center market seems thin though..who is still out there? Okafor maybe? I sort of like Stiemsma too.

[ArbitraryWater]

Pause.. he can't pass? lol

James Jones had offers from GS, WAS, NO & Miami (of course), but prodding from LBJ won the day. @JasonLloydABJ 1st reported Cavs agreement.

Not a Thundercat

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Not a Thundercat
Lion-O and Panthro back together again!!

[ArbitraryWater]

Lion-O and Panthro back together again!!

Lion-O's great sidekick :bowdown:

[pegasus]

Does he have anything left in the tank? I know he can shoot, but what about playing D?

While they are at it, they should also bring back Delonte West and his offensive "arsenal".

[GrapeApe]

It's puzzling to me why Spo didn't play him more. Yes he's a poor defender but he at least gives effort (unlike Beasley) and is pretty good at drawing charges. Obviously he's a lights out shooter. Anyway, he's a UM guy and Miami native so I wish him the best.

[D-Rose]

That's a steal at the minimum. Poor RBA won't like this though :lol

[Nash]

dude takes a lot of charges.

also, if miami are offering you same money, why not stay there in your hometown and in that good weather instead of moving to Cleveland bench?

[305Baller]

:rolleyes:

Lebron James.

[NumberSix]

Cliami Heataliers.

[edrick]

Maybe James Jones will actually get some playing time on the Cavs.

[305Baller]

Maybe James Jones will actually get some playing time on the Cavs.

nah.

[Mass Debator]

Pause.. he can't pass? lol
His passes consists of passing back to the player who passed him the ball or turning his back while a teammate comes and get it from him. Can't rely on him to make a clean entry pass to the post or a quick read hockey assist. No ball handles, plays flat footed on D, and his rotations and close outs are pretty sloppy. He's a pretty low IQ player who just plays his role as a sharp shooter hence he barely got any playing time.

That being said, he's a good situational player to have on the floor with someone like Lebron. I just don't expect him to play anymore minutes than he did with the Heat. Good pick up for the minimum but nothing to write home about.

[SwishSquared]

Mo Williams for back up PG?? Makes sense to me...

Center market seems thin though..who is still out there? Okafor maybe? I sort of like Stiemsma too.
Is Okafor healthy enough to play? Prior to FA, there were stories about how contending teams would try to bring him in as a low-risk signing, but I've heard nothing about him. If he can't play, what about some younger (undersized) alternatives like Ed Davis or Ekpe Udoh? Both are out there.

[BigTicket]

Centers are the hardest thing to come by in this league. Other than Okafor, I really don't see anyone even half way decent on the market.

I suspect we will end up going small with Tristan playing center quite often.

[inclinerator]

#stacked

[DaSeba5]

This one hurts a bit. He lives and breathes Miami. But all he can do is shoot. He's tough though. He'll put his body on the line to win.

[BrownEye007]

Nice, we've certainly got enough shooters now.

Still in need of backup center and point guard though, which will probably be harder to come by.
Delly?

[BigTicket]

Delly?

He was ok last year when we were a lottery team, but he's not good enough if we're going to make a deep playoff run. We need a more experienced ball handler for that.

[hawkfan]

LBJ is building his clique in the locker room.
Allen makes four.
When are we going to see an LBJ picked assistant?

[Wally450]

Miami Cavaliers or Cleveland Heat? Which sounds better?

[alenleomessi]

greg oden next

[BigTicket]

greg oden next

No thanks.

[RedBlackAttack]

Great shooter and that's about it. I'm OK with it. I'm against bringing in Allen though. Enough is enough with the traveling LeBronettes.

[Meticode]

I always thought he deserved more burn in Miami. He's money from three.

[jzek]

Only Allen's left.

[poido123]

:mad: :oldlol:

Sorry, I had to do it.

I feel your pain, I could only imagine Lebron rocking up in Chicago, then handpicking players he wants to play with and taking over the team, how annoying :(

[Phantom84]

Why wouldn't you want Ray Allen, one of the most clutch shooter in the history of the NBA? Also, Ray's work ethic and discipline can actually help rub off on those young players. They also might learn a thing or two on how to become a deadly shooter.

[Finger Roll]

good for him, too bad he's terrible

[BlazerRed]

Cleveland should bring back Delonte while they're picking up shooters :applause:

[ArbitraryWater]

LMFAOO stop trying so hard :roll:

The guy has accepted and welcomed LeBron... You're the only one left who still hasn't gotten over it :oldlol:

...because I don't want this to be the Heat 2.0. I want the team to create its own identity. It isn't an anti-Ray Allen thing. It isn't even an anti-Heat thing.

It's just a case of me not wanting a team full of NBA mercenaries. Miller and Jones should provide plenty of shooting. We need to focus on getting a shot-blocking big now.

sure, he could become a chiraqi bulls fan.

Im assuming this means Ray Allen is out? James Jones is pretty useless.

I see where you are coming from, but I don't know if I trust Miller and Jones to make that clutch shot in the biggest moment. Cavs should have went and got Allen first.

DAMN HOW PATHETIC!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

You know you could say that about anyone?

An Australian Jordan stan on ISH?

Can you get anymore pathetic if you tried? (#CornyAlert)

[J Shuttlesworth]

Miller, Jones :bowdown: BRING ON ALLEN

[coin24]

So the Cavs are surrounding bran with his chosen spot up shooters..

Incoming bran iso ball, need to pad those assists:lol

[catquickspider]

only way for Lebron to stat pad is with shooters

this might backfire if Irving decides to become a playmaker more often :applause:
