The As to the Qs, part two

July 30, 2007

I had the notion for a really good play for Lebron. Maybe you can pass it on to Mike Brown and the boys. See if they can utilize it for this year. Picture this. Gibson at point. Lebron playing 2 or 3. Gibson brings the ball down to either wing. Lebron runs off of a [...]

Some As to your Qs

July 29, 2007

LeBron made some pointed comments after the Team USA scrimmage about his love of up tempo basketball. Have you heard anything from the Cavs that indicates an upcoming change in their offensive philosophy? Seems to me that appeasing James might not be a bad idea.

I agree LeBron sent a jabbing little message from Vegas. [...]

Since this has been a quiet summer for Cavs news, I figured it might be a good time to have a little forum here. If you have a question about the Cavs or the NBA, send it to me and I’ll try to answer it. Want to know about how the salary cap [...]

New takes on Bibby, Varejao

July 13, 2007

Las Vegas — So the Cavs and Kings are at it again with Mike Bibby. As one of the three writers who was swarming all over UNLV to break this story yesterday, I still am not quite sure why this deal broke down. It certainly looked like it was going to happen when [...]

Letter from Summer League

July 10, 2007

Las Vegas — Greetings from South Nevada, where the temps are hot and the action at the Vegas Summer League is, well, not. Greg Oden and Kevin Durant, the two headliners, haven’t played well so far. No big deal, I’ve been to five summer leagues and see lots of top picks struggle. [...]

Some things to keep in mind

July 6, 2007

The Cavs have been quiet in free agency thus far, which was to be expected. Without cap space to spend they were never going to be in the market for the big-name players. With restricted second-tier free agents like Sasha Pavlovic and Anderson Varejao, the game is going to have to play out [...]

Varejao situation and breakdown

July 4, 2007

I’m the middle of an 18-hour travel day here but I have a few minutes. I gotten some various e-mails on the Anderson Varejao story I wrote for today’s paper. Please allow me to elaborate. In it, I quote an NBA executive, and I’ll tell you now that is it a general [...]
