SMFH at BSPN, not even surprised though. Also he would come off the bench, as a 6th man role. playing behind Bennett. :thumbup:

Very pleased with the draft. I was really high on Bennett and didn't really want NN or Alex Len...

Not who I wanted, but trust Grant and it will be interesting to see what other moves we make this offseason. Loved the Karasev pick. We need some shooters for Kyrie and Dion.

Pekovic is really good, caught a few Minny games last year and he impressed me every time. Strong as a bull, very fundamental and productive.

It sounds like minny won't match is anyone signs him to a decent contract. The want to keep Rubio and love and are willing to part with him. I'll gladly take him

Cavs talking to warriors about helping them with cap relief. Maybe bogut and barnes?

well the warriors signed AI. They also have a trade with Utah but players involved unknown yet. And they are also still trying to deal other players away.

Earl Clark is a pro's pro, always goes hard and can give the Cavs a lot of different looks. Good for them, I hate to see him leave LA.

I don't think the Earl Clark move makes the Cavs better in any way.

Yea, between draft and this signing it appears Cavs have given up on TT.

Lineup versatility. Clark can play the 3 and the 4. All of our draft picks/signings the past couple years have been geared towards what the NBA is becoming, with teams being capable of going big or small. We've loaded up on guys who can play 3/4 and 4/5.

Clark makes the team better. Worth 2.3 wins last year coming at $4 million a year and next year is a team option. It's a great deal as well.

You also need talent, and in my opinion Clark doesn't have much of it. I don't think he's even an upgrade over Gee.

He is definitely a better option than gee.

Come on seriously?! He's a definite upgrade over gee. He's not all star talent but he's a solid guy to add to the depth of this team. He's a hard worker who wants to play in Cleveland, he'll do well here.

We have a team full of 8th and 9th men. We need to add starting caliber players, not more 8th and 9th men. How many rotation small forwards do we need?
