		<description>OK Alan and David, you two clearly have all the answers, why don't you give up your boring and lame day jobs to try and become an NBA GM, or maybe even coach.  From reading your many posts on this blog, you clearly have all the answers.  Time to walk the walk.  It is a blatant waste of your talent to just post nonsense on a blog when you could really be using it to make big money in the league.

Now your turn.  I can hear it now.... I will summarize your responses.... "yaddda yaddda yadddda yaddda yaddda"</description>

		<description>Alan T., couldn't agree with you more on your last comment.  Being a GM in the NBA is not rocket science.  Especially when you have the advantage of building around Lebron James.  We are just holding Ferry accountable.</description>

		<description>Monday morning quarterback?  Several on this blog never had to wait until Monday.  Everything Ferry does, it seems pretty obvious what the inevitable results are going to be when he does it.  No Mondays are necessary.

And that nonsense about, "Why don't they have Danny Ferry's job if they know so much" is the type of bumpkin quote used by parents to teach children.  In the real adult world, doesn't hold water.</description>

		<description>I love the Monday Morning GM's (see Alan T) we have on this blog who know exactly what Danny Ferry has done wrong (after the fact I might add) and know exactly what he should have done.  

The funny thing is, that these Monday Morning GM's are probably people that drive to work every morning in their mini van, sit behind a desk all day pushing papers, then drive back home in their mini van, eat a TV dinner while watching the Cavs game, kick their dog, then go to bed.   Why don't they have Danny Ferry's job if they know so much LOL!!!!!   

It really is hilarious and is probably the number one reason I read this blog.  Funny as hell to read all the know-it-alls!!!!!!!</description>

		<description>First of all, this is turning into a really great thread, the back and forth is great.  

For all the posters who disagreed with Ferry’s re-signing of Z (or the dollar amount involved), who should the Cavs have gone after to play center?  I look over at Chicago and see a team with really good guards, no low post scoring threat, and a very defensive minded center quickly sinking to the bottom of the east.  By replacing Z with a more athletic, better defending center, aren’t we reducing the Cavs to a perimeter shooting team?  Something they obviously don’t have the talent to do.  Thanks.</description>

		<description>Boy, I agree with Mike C. on every point. 

The Cavs record might have been better at this time last year, but they were apathetic and terrible and didn't look like a team that even wanted to improve. 

It's borderline exciting to see that Varejao might have actually worked on his game during his long summer. He's been a huge difference in the recent wins. If he can catch the ball and finish near the rim, and Gibson can keep hitting his threes, and Brown can keep all the other guards from shooting the ball, the Cavs will be all right.</description>

		<description>Some responses to what has been said before:

Everyone (and I mean everyone) could see that Donyell Marshall was softer than Dinner Bell Mel Turpin.  He was a wasted sign from the start.  Damen Jones was a good pick up and might actually score some points if given playing time at point.  Hughes, well, we know his story.  I did think it was a good pick up at the time.  I don't think anyone could have imagined the disaster he has become.

Shannon Brown leaned away from Snow because Snow was miked up.  Plus, who would want to take advice from Eric Snow anyway.  Would it be something like, "Shannon, here is how to miss a short range jumper?'

As for needing a shot blocking big man to win the title (which Z isn't, by the way), see Jordan.

The key with Ferry is that he did not maintain financial flexibility for the team.  As an earlier post said, if he had done that we could have explored trades in addition to free agency.

Danny Ferry was such a loser as a player and now it appears he is marching towards that reputation as a GM.  Does he want to be known as the GM who couldn't build a title team around Lebron James?  Pat Riley, and others, would be licking their chops to have such an opportunity.  Ferry is stuck on the San Antonio model which works when you have Tim Duncan.  He should be looking at the Chicago model instead.</description>
