Cleveland's Finest Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) It is not clear whether the Cavaliers' second-choice is Jamison or Maggette. The discussions with Golden State have centered around Cleveland sending Ilgauskas and his $11.5 million expiring contract to the Warriors for Maggette. Other players, perhaps Cleveland's Danny Green and Golden State's Devean George, would have to be added to make the deal work financially. LeBron James is aware of Cleveland's interest in Maggette, and sources close to him say he believes he could help the Cavaliers. Maggette can play shooting guard as well as small forward, and while he's not a great outside shooter, the Cavaliers could at times play James and Maggette together on the frontline in a small lineup. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4917507 So we'd keep JJ and get Z back.....that'd be another good deal. I like Maggette. Muc better move to give us talent and not disrupt the team because he's not a big star.

Owner Real Deal Posted February 16, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Oh my God, the Cavaliers are going to have two players getting 20+ free throws a game now...and when Leon Powe gets back, make that three in the playoffs.

Legacy Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I would take Z's expiring contract and JJ Hickson for Maggette and George. Hell yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted February 16, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 The Cavs would be worse if they get Maggette, don't worry. Defensively, sure...but the dude is shooting a career-high 52% from the floor, averaging 21 points, all because he just knows how to drive. That's actually a bad thing for us, because he'll just foul out our bigs, much like LeBron does. Three football players (LBJ, Shaq, Maggette) on one team. It'll be fun to watch them play Boston and Orlando, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 The talk in Oakland is this is 3-way talks. Maggette wouldn't go to Cleveland. The Cavs have a volume shooter at 3 already. Heard he's pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
