[QUOTE=john_d]honestly give me a lebron cavs line up that you will be happy with.[/QUOTE]
Mo Williams
Delonte West
LeBron James
* (Insert any of these players here)
Big Z (he's on his last leg)
* David Lee, LaMarcus Aldridge, Antawn Jamison, Carlos Boozer, Chris Bosh, or Amare Stoudemire.
Even Zach Randolph, Charlie Villanueva, or Elton Brand would be an upgrade
I don't know about the whole Shaq thing, he can't possibly play a full season at this stage of his career.

delonte any average shooting guard lebron amare any defense center big body semi athletic can score but not great at scoring. amare could shoot mid range so its not like they need z

Yeah, Amare would be nice. If I could pick a roster around LeBron with anyone in the NBA I would go:
Jason Kidd
Brandon Roy
LeBron James
Kevin Garnett
Yao Ming
This isn't fantasy basketball though. So it would be nice to see the Cavs get a solid low scoring presence in the post. Other than LeBron, Joe Smith was their best post player from this past season, that's not saying much.

I've got to agree. Andy doesn't give you the flashy stats but he works his ass off and he's a pretty complete defensive player. I hope Jamison or Villanueva don't get traded to the Cavs, they're good players but they lack defensive instincts and work rate (which imo is more important than being able to shoot three pointers). Not exactly the type of players a contending team needs.
[QUOTE=bruceblitz]You can't be serious man.[/QUOTE]
Of course I am. Lee, Jamison, Randolph and Villanueva are all horrible defenders.
Lee's D is so horrible Mike D'Antoni complained about it. Mike D'antoni !!!

I think it would be fair to say that the Cavs could afford to give up a little on the defensive end. Varejao gets eaten alive in the post, he's good at stepping in front of cutting offensive players attacking the rim and drawing charges, as far as 1 on 1 defense is concerned, he's nothing to brag about in that category. The Cavs need more help on the offensive end, in the post, more than they do on the defensive end. Jamison has shown that he is a capable defender, and probably the best fit out of the group of players I posted. I'm sure that's why the Cavs are looking into trading for him.
Sadly stats is all Lebron can be proud of right now...his time will come though. Until Cleveland had a good scorer they will not be winning anything anytime soon...maybe Lebron's best days are with a new franchise. Guess we will see what the Cavs do this summer.
varejao is a pretty good cutting big thats all hes good at on the offensive end
Jamison is attractive to the Cavs since he's exactly the type of combo forward they were missing to match up with Orlando's Rashard Lewis and Hedo Turkoglu.
- Jamison is a balanced scorer with his ability to score in the paint and also has a good outside shot. Jamison looks like a nice complementary player with LeBron's style
- While I don't think he is a huge upgrade over Mo or Z, Jamison could be the second option on this team.
- With Jamison in the starting lineup, the Cavs have a capable scorer at every position
a trade for Jamison would make more basketball sense than most other guys rumored to be traded to Cleveland. The benefit to the Cavs is it gives them another offensive punch in the lineup.

Sure, trading for Lee, Randolph, Jamison or Villanueva would be a great idea then :hammerhead:
Varejao sucks on offense, but he's not the liability those guys are on the defensive end.
We need a Tyson Chandler way more than a Jamison.

Yeah, maybe. But what happens if we have to play the Lakers ? Jamison against Gasol ? :hammerhead: Or against the Cetlics ? Jamison against KG ? :hammerhead: Or against the Rockets ? Jamison against Scola ? :hammerhead:
