If he isn't going to get 10-20 minutes on the Cavs I say stick him in NBADL where he can get that experience. He has the tools to be a solid defender already but ball handling and fine tuning his outside shot will be a must as well as learning English. Looking forward to seeing if he can become a solid NBA player.Christian Eyenga, who was the No. 30 pick in the 2009 draft, averaged 11.4 points and 4.2 rebounds during summer league. Brian Windhorst of The Plain Dealer reports the Cavs will make a decision soon about signing him or sending him back to Europe for another season.
Windhorst writes: "It seems likely the Cavs will sign Eyenga to a slotted contract of about $2 million over the next two seasons with an option for years three and four. They let him play in Spain last season to develop, but he didn't get much playing time and stalled a bit. Even if he needs to spend time in the D-League next season, the highly athletic guard seems primed to start his NBA career."
Samardo Samuels was a consensus top-five recruit when he stepped onto Louisville as a freshman, ahead of players like Tyreke Evans, Jrue Holiday, DeMar DeRozan, and Al-Farouq Aminu, according to some highly respect recruited services. After a solid, but unspectacular, freshman season and an improved sophomore campaign, Samuels shocked the Louisville coach staff and fan base when he elected to enter his name in the NBA Draft.

With that said, I really like Samuels as a college player, but I just don't know if he will succeed in the NBA because he plays too flat footed and is undersized to play center.
I get that they are in rebuild mode. I like bringing in young talent, and think Samuels is worth a roster spot for a year or two to see if he can develop.devil1197;429780 wrote:You don't know anything at all, all you want is a big time name or move to happen. Guess what, Cleveland is in rebuild mode and these are the types of moves/signings you will see. Cleveland will wait up until the August date that they have to trade Delonte before making the move, find the best option and then go with it then.
Samuels is tough down low with a nice frame and potential. These moves just make it clearer that Powe and Jamison will be traded down the line. This move also lets me know that Grant and Gilbert have a plan to rebuild with young talent through signings, trades, and the draft.

What I don't like is that if they are in rebuilding mode, then do it. This is literally the first move they have made since the season ended. We kept hearing about Bosh, Paul, Barnes, Jefferson, Sessions, buying into the draft, etc... yet this is the move they decide to make.
And I'm not even saying a boring move is a bad one, but this franchise is very fragile right now, so they need to do something to let people know what direction they are planning on going.

Other than Conley and Odin...this team would absolutely suck. The other 3 don't belong in the NBA.derek bomar;427070 wrote:BJ Mullens, Kosta, Mike Conley, D-Cook, and trade for Oden. Buckeye starting 5. Unstoppable.
hoops23;431296 wrote:^Cook is a pretty solid player when given the chance. Great 3 point shooter too.
I agree about Mullens and Kosta though.
