I love that the genius used the contraction “it’s” in place of the possessive pronoun “its” in his post ripping someone else’s grammar skills. Nice take, genius (intentionally lower case). “Your” really smart.

I love that the “genius” dropped an “it’s” (i.e., it is) where there should have been an “its” (possessive of it) in his attempt to belittle someone else’s grammar skills. Nice take, genius. “Your” really smart.

Huh? Francis accepted for around 55% of the midlevel exception. Ferry could have offered Francis the midlevel exception, and with a little cap maneuvering, even more than the midlevel exception. Who says a guy won’t come? 999 times out of 1,000, money talks. The only reason Francis went to Houston is because he already got his money in a major way. But it sure as hell doesn’t hurt to inquire. I mean, we already know what Francis can do. If Luis Scola turns out to be even 10% of Mark Olberding, I’ll be shocked.

Shorter Alan T.:

“Why doesn’t Ferry waste time pursuing FA’s he knows won’t come? That’s what really good GM’s do!”

Ye gods…

As for “Columbus Cav,” shooting 40% from 3-point distance is considered above avg., I’d say. In fact, that percentage would’ve have put Brown right in the Top 50 in the NCAA this year. Besides, I know I said he had a mid-range game that almost no other Cav guard has. That point is undeniable.

DBO and larry d., fair points about Brown and the defense.

The Genius has…spoken!

There are two types of basketball fans. Those that are starved for entertainment, and those that appreciate fundamental basketball. The former tune in to WITNESS highlight reel dunks, and the ladder focus on the strategies of the game. The thrill seekers evaluate a team according to how many highlights make the cut on ESPN. The purists evaluate a team according to their ability to keep an opponent from making the highlight reels. Defense is the name of the game. How many special All-Star type plays did J-Kidd, Carter and company lay on the Cavs? How may players were able to “go off” or get into “the zone” on the Cavs defense throughout the year? Team defense demoralizes an opponent moreso than a offensive explosion. Respect in the NBA starts and ends on the defensive side of the ball. The Cavs have earned that respect from the rest of the league. It is time Cavs fans learned to respect this as well. Our offense will improve as our defense becomes our staple. Learn to watch the GAME and not the SHOW! Go Cavs.

@Shannon’s outside game

You do realize that Shannon Brown shot 46.7% from the field as a senior and 39% from 3 point range. So when you say he does have an outside shot, Im sure you don’t follow basketball as well as you might think you do.

Genius, 99.9% of the folks that BW brings up in his rumor mill are never coming to Cleveland. Was Ray Allen doing anything but pumping up his price? But a good general manager at least takes a moment to find out. It does not appear that he did, or else we’d be reading about it here. If Francis played even 60 games, then $3 million of a portion of a midlevel exception is a drop in the bucket and worth it compared to the excess of $15 million that Hughes steals on an annual basis. And 60 games of Steve Francis is better than one game of Beno Udrih.

And Dave, that criticism is borne out of fans’ major frustration. Imagine what the Cavs would be like if that $30 million of cap space had been spent wisely. Remember around 1988, when Earvin Johnson referred to the Cavs as the future Team of the 90s? This was before Gund forced Embry into destroying that opportunity. I don’t think it’s a reach to say if Ferry hadn’t repeatedly stepped on a rake like Sideshow Bob in that Simpsons episode, these Cavs would be that team. And now watching as other teams make cogent moves while the Cavs again do nothing, well, it’s pretty damn frustrating.
