Add me to the group of people who thinks Varejao is wildly overpaid.

Mo Williams was "the guy" on a bad Bucks team. They ended up trading him to Cleveland for $0.10 on the dollar because he was shooting them out of the game (and providing subpar defense)

I love Hickson's game though. He is going to have a breakout year. Will it be enough to push them over the playoff hump though?

The east is so horrible, I think the Cavs have a decent shot at making the playoffs, though I almost wish we'd just win 17 games again and get the next stud superstar instead of becoming the indiana pacers.

You're already starting with the hating before the season starts? Wait, you claim you're a Cavs fans..........gimme a fucking break

He acts like a fan so he can troll without being like Al Capone. Dude's a fucking joke, dont even let him get you riled up, hes an idiot that gets pwned on here as much if not more than gibby/capone.

Lol at the Varejao hate btw, dude is exactly what every team needs. A physical hard defender that rebounds, changes shots, hustles up the floor, team player, etc... Every team would LOVE to have him. You can bitch about his contract all you want, but he didn't keep us from signing Jabron Lames, thats for sure. Big men are over paid, get over it. We're like 15 mil under the fucking cap and hes bitching about one of our best players because he thinks he makes too much. STFU troll.

What group? I thought that was the consensus. Find me one person who thinks he isn't overpaid. Dude is making $7 million a year, just incredible.

Exactly why the NBA is going broke. Eddy Curry is the definition of overpaid.

I dont think its a bad contract.

He didn't sign for 50 million. He signed for around 32 million or so. The 18 other million are in performance bonuses. Some as silly as win MVP.

it's 6 years 42.5 million with a team option for the 6th year so 7 million a year for a guy who gives you 1000 percent on the court every night hustles annoys other teams puts his body on the line every night.

Look at other bad contracts like Brian Cardinal, Eric Dampier, Charlie Villa, Rashard Lewis, Zach Randolph, AK47, Keynon Freaking Martin, Joe Johnson, Jermaine O'niel, Shaq, Hedo's, etc... Sorry not even close to one of the worst contracts, in fact I think its pretty solid. Way to do your homework and understand how the NBA works.

Where did anyone say his contract is the WORST? Reading comprehension. And he doesn't even have the worst contract on the roster. Jamison owns that title. But according to your logic, they are under the cap, so who cares...

7 million for a guy who "hustles" and "annoys" people is absolutely overpaid.

Oh so I guess we should get rid of him because you dont like his contract. LMAO ok. You didn't even understand how FA works before I pwned you repeatedly on it last offseason so I guess I shouldnt be suprised that you dont understand that a Big that is athletic, plays both sides of the floor and DPLOY (defensive player of the year, since I know you were going to ask) making $7 million is actually a good deal.

You're a joke, I'll respond this time and then you are getting ignored again.

You never "pwned" me regarding free agency. It's fine if you want to think that, but I've asked on numerous occasions for you to tell me exactly how you "pwned" me and you have failed to do so. Also, why do you insist on using "pwn"? It makes you sound even more immature than you are.

If you want to believe it's a good deal, that's fine. You can be uninformed and be the minority (a small minority at that).

And do you care to explain what exactly DPLOY is? I know what DPOY is, and that's something that Varejao didn't win, so I know you are not referring to that. What other award did he win with the acronym DPLOY? Thank you once again for educating me on that award, because I honestly had no idea that he did in fact win an award last year.

(I'm just going to assume that you will ignore my questions and respond with things such as: pwned, similar to gibby, troll idiot. If that's the case, don't bother responding)

Lol the only reason he was up for any type of an award is because of how good the Cavs TEAM was thanks to LBJ. Had the Cavs been a middle of the road team(like they will be this year) He wouldnt of even sniffed DPLOY or 6th man

go abck and read dipshit. Typical idiot response, sorry not your gopher bitch, do your own fucking work. Go back to the thread and read me schooling you on how it works, you didnt even know about the bird rights, nice fail. You always whine and cry about the dumbest stuff and then when you get your ass handed to you, act like an ignorant twat and say "SHOW ME!!!" Which on several occansions I went back and quoted it to show you, only to have you not even come back and post when you were clearly pwned, typical coward. My god, you couldnt even finish school at a comm college on time, not sure why I even bother correcting you.

I'm interested to see how Boobie plays this year, it sounds like Scott really likes the way he plays and plans on using him quite a bit.
I think Sessions is going to be a nice addition as well.

Damn it, I forget the comments about my schooling and job. So fucking predictable it's sad.

So since you avoided the real question, what exactly is DPLOY? And when exactly was Varejao announced the winner of such a prestigious honor?

Varejao was in the running for Defensive Player of the Year dipshit, see the "(....)". Nice fail community college graduate! Thats like a step above a beauty school!

So he didn't win, well Durrant didn't win MVP (most valuable player award, just so you dont have to ask) so I guess he isnt very good either....SMH.

I'm sorry, but my lousy education didn't teach me how to read ebonics. Please explain to me exactly what you are trying to say here. Just not clear on why certain words are not capitalized, while others are? What DPLOY stands for? Does he play the position DPLOY?

Thank you for taking the time to further help me comprehend this!

The Cavs have some talented players but they win 35 games max IMO. No way they have a winning record. I hope im wrong though.

I have said all along I expect the Cavs to compete for a play-off spot.

I think it's a mistake and they should be jettisoning every asset they have--but they will not be awful this year.

I agree they should go into all out rebuild mode. I think they want to at least be decent to keep fans interested after the whole offseason. If they were to win 10 games this year after lebron screwed them, I think casual fans wouldn't pay attention anymore. So while logical fans know they should tank to be better in the long run, they won't, at least not this year.

I know, its hard. But I think we should tank it. Trade Jamison, Mo, etc... run with the young guys and hope for top 2 pick in the draft. Anyone know who some of the best prospects this season are supposed to be? I know OSU has a sick recruiting class coming in, but besides OSU I dont have an idea on the rest of the college bball.

I say compete this year and then blow it up next year. You need a transitional period.

Anyone else in the Cbus area going to the game tonight at the Schott? I'll be there for sure.

Harrison Barnes,Fabricio De Melo, Kyrie Irving, Brandon Knight, Enes Kanter and Josh Selby are all potential lottery picks waiting to happen. Most of em have videos on youtube

This still might happen. If Mo and Jamison put up the numbers midway through the season (hopefully not many wins come along with it), then some teams in contention might be willing to make a trade to the cavs. Heck some team might even want Varejao's hustle. The cavs definitely have some pieces they would trade away, even if they are lower draft picks, they could package those picks into better picks.

Dynasty......just give it a rest.

You claim to be a Cavs fan and yet every time you post on a Cavs thread its something negative. The Cavs could pull off a mega trade that would bring them CP3 and Melo and you still wouldnt be happy......."they still dont have a big man" It kinda gets old, its the same thing Capone does with the Browns threads, you might as well add the "hahahahah" at the end of your posts and make it official.
