Please, Mike. With that much cap space (PLUS LeBron James!), the Cavs should be a dynasty. Seriously. The likely fact that they will never go any farther than beating last year's pathetic Eastern Conference while cruising against the easiest seeds in NBA history will always be 100% on Ferry. High expectations? Fans should rightly expect far more than what he delivered.

And come on, you're actually bringing Kevin McHale into this? That's like discussing two turds with your gastroenterologist.

You're right Ron, Danny Ferry has not yet figured out how to successfully deal an overpaid, underachieving, undersized and injury prone shooting guard. I realize that he made his own bed, but to expect him to be able to make a deal like that is asking too much.

Mike James was another underachieving guard who had just signed a 4-year, $25 Million deal with Minnesota, roughly half of Hughes' monster deal. The T'Wolves traded him to Houston before the season for Juwan Howard, who we all know was bought out shortly thereafter. Getting rid of Mike James cost the T'Wolves around $10 Million, and they got nothing in return. Do you think the Cavs could do any better trading Hughes?

And just so we're clear, the "situation" that Danny Ferry has to get out of is winning the Eastern Conference and going to the NBA Finals. Talk about high expectations.

Go Cavs,

Mike C.

Good defense by the Los Angeles Lakers drama boys, if only we could patch up the difference, this will be a Los Angeles good season. They are running, switching in defense, rebounding see those efforts. We don't have yet the Lakers team down.

Ron, perhaps you should take on the dual role of Beacon Journal sports columnist-deputy sports editor. Sort of like actor-singer, only less Hollywoody.

I just finished reading McManamon's Sunday version of Pluto's "Talkin' Cavs." Or maybe Pluto really never left. Honestly, I can't tell the difference between the two. Take the words "faith" and "Jesus" out of a paragraph, and their sentences are exactly the same. It's astonishing.

Either the local print media is timid and scared like an elephant terrified of a mouse, or these guys are simply receiving favors from the Cavaliers on the side. Maybe it's both. There are no other rational explanations.

Simon, that's the local straw man sports argument of all local straw man sports arguments. How did LeBron back Ferry into anything? James was contractually chained to Cleveland no matter what Ferry did. Or didn't do. Three more seasons. LeBron couldn't have done a damn thing but rant and rave and rant and rave like Kobe Bryant on angel dust.

Besides, if you believe, as I do, Chicago's reporters instead of the non-stop propaganda and spin from local reporters, the truth is that James actually wanted Eddy Curry, not Z.

"Fear of upsetting LeBron" may indeed be a true statement. But the only thing he had to fear was fear itself. No doubt Roosevelt was thinking of Ferry when he said it.

I wonder how much that FireDannyFerry.com domain would go for on eBay. Seriously.

Never forget, LeBron backed Ferry into a corner with his open desire (and semi-veiled / implied threats) to have Z resigned…and also to immediately bring in help–in a year in which none was available…leading to the Hughes fiasco.

Fear of upsetting LeBron is what has ultimately handcuffed this organization. Signing all that garbage on the bench. Spending like drunken sailors. LeBron…he just had to "HAVE IT ALL" right now!! Well, buddy, enjoy the team and the results YOU helped to assemble.
