Cavaliers Switch from Amare to Antawn, Acquire Jamison in Three-Team Deal
- By Tim Bielik
- February 17th, 2010
24 hours ago, it seemed as if Cleveland would land Amare Stoudemire from the Phoenix Suns for Zydrunas Ilgauskas, JJ Hickson, and a first-round pick. Just an hour ago, the Cavaliers pulled out of the trade offers and instead, pulled what experts are calling a coup by landing Washington F Antawn Jamison in a three-team deal involving the Los Angeles Clippers. The deal as first reported by the Washington Post has Ilgauskas and a Cavaliers' first round pick going to the nations capital and Jamison coming to Cleveland. To sweeten the deal, Los Angeles also sent F Al Thornton to Washington and G Sebastian Telfair to Cleveland as F Drew Gooden heads west to Los Angeles. The trade was reported just hours after cleveland.com's Brian Windhorst reported that Cavaliers GM Danny Ferry had given...
STAT with the King? Amar’e Stoudemire Rumored to Cleveland
- By Tim Bielik
- February 15th, 2010
By now, the worst-kept secret in the NBA is that the Cleveland Cavaliers want Amar'e Stoudemire from the Phoenix Suns, a move that would almost certainly put the Cavaliers in the driver's seat for the NBA Finals.
ESPN's Chris Broussard and the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Brian Windhorst have both reported that the Cavs and Suns are in serious talks for STAT, even to the point where the proposed deal has been released: Stoudemire for Zydrunas Ilgauskas and J.J.
Hickson.
At this point, reports are that a deal is highly likely, even if the target is not the Cavaliers in the end.
Other teams rumored to be a part of the negotiations are Philadelphia and Miami.
Philly is reportedly using a package including Andre Iguodala, another one-time Cavaliers trading target, to bring Stoudemire to the...
Cavaliers Considering Trade Options, Who Fits Best?

- February 12th, 2010
It's no secret that the Cavaliers, though riding a 13-game winning streak and the best record in the NBA heading into the All-Star Break are looking to add that final championship piece. With this season possibly (small percentage according to most) being LeBron James' last season in Cleveland, it could also be their best shot in franchise history. Shaquille O'Neal, though not as athletic and talented as in years past is still very talented and an intimidator on both ends of the court, something James and the Cavaliers have never had in franchise history. But they still have some talented pieces to help swing one final deal before the trading deadline. Here is a look at the top names that could find themselves in Wine and Gold by Thursday: *Note: Troy Murphy not on for...
Meet the New Guys-Leon Powe
- By Tim Bielik
- February 12th, 2010
With one championship ring already gleaming on his hand, Leon Powe no doubt comes to Cleveland looking to add one more by joining Lebron and Company. Along with that elusive championship ring, Powe brings a great presence down low, particularly on the offensive end of the court. After coming off the bench in the 2007-08 playoffs to score 11 points and grab 7 boards against the Cavaliers, Powe must have raised some eyebrows in Cleveland, prompting the signing in the off-season. While Powe’s career numbers aren’t exactly eye-popping at first, his per game statistics can be very misleading, given the little amount of playing time he put in. Over the past two seasons Powe’s per 40 minute statistics are absolutely surreal, given the lack of time...
Title or Bust? Is This Finally the Year for the Cavaliers? Why Not?
- By Tim Bielik
- February 12th, 2010
The mentality of the Cleveland Cavaliers could be best summarized in the words of the Big Shaqtus, "Win a ring for the King." But that begs the question: is this finally the year Cleveland ends the 46-year title drought? Does this team have enough depth and talent to compete with the best teams in the league in Boston, Orlando, San Antonio, and Los Angeles? Can this team get as many breaks as they did when they made the NBA Finals in 2007? In this instance, answering the latter in essence answers the former as well; in basketball, you have to make your own luck and luck comes from hard work, dedication, and talent. The Cavaliers have all of these things and plenty of young players looking to improve each and every year. Last...
Starting Slow: Cavaliers Trip Up in Opening Games, Missing West?
- By Tim Bielik
- February 12th, 2010
The season of great expectations has not gotten off to the great start that many had hoped for. The Cleveland Cavaliers dropped their first two games of 2009 to the powerhouse Boston Celtics and the surprising Toronto Raptors, and early questions are starting to surface. In the early games, one of the most noticeable trends are that the ball is just not going into the hoop. In the first two games, the team as a whole is shooting only 38% from the field, unacceptable for a team fighting for a championship. But an even more glaring problem is the lack of defense, giving up 98 ppg in the first two games. For a team whose mainstay and staple is stifing defense, this is a huge red flag and a major problem. But some...
