If they waive Battie maybe we could sign him to a Vet minimum contract ant Arroyo. That would give us 13 players under contract and we should be ok to start the season. I really hope they do waive Battie, that would be awesome for us. Now lets hope he accepts our offer! They won't dump him. His salary would still count against their cap this year. He might be useful to trade at the Feb deadline to a contender who needs front court help (maybe b/c of injury). "Mr. Thorn, there is a Mr. Ainge on the phone for you. Says it's important." EDIT: or maybe they use him in a trade to get Big Baby, then Battie can hit a game winner against us in next year's ECF. lol Celts are still trying to work the Daniels deal and if NJ wants Davis, then maybe they are the third team for Boston and Indiana.

Orlando could acquire a point guard with a larger contract, but such a player would have to come through a sign-and-trade. The Magic used its entire mid-level exception of $5.854 million to sign Matt Barnes and Brandon Bass, and used its bi-annual exception last year to sign Anthony Johnson. http://www.realgm.com/src_wire...offer_minimum_deals/ Slow news day for Cleveland basketball? We also have Arroyo's bird rights, so we could go above minimum for his contract. But I don't expect the Cavs beat writers to be versed in the finer points of our former players' salaries. Again, tell me why this is published in the Cleveland news?

*Lots o' turnovers. *SG trapped in PG body. *Not a good decision maker or distributor. *Great athlete. *So what if someone has a 35 point game against the NYK late in the season.

Also, why do ppl say that we got worse over the off season. we have upgraded at every position (except pg)we the hands down best team in the league?? Im tired of being the underdog.... Last thing,meer14 best piont guard in the east hands down..... GO MAGIC I usually just ignore spelling mistakes but in the best interests of your journalistic integrity it is quite important you spell analyst correctly. If there is such a thing, I imagine an 'analist' could be quite different... The more times I re-read your remark, the harder I laugh. Great combo of politeness and recognition of underlying irony. Heh. Oh, and meh on Wafer.

Two questions: Why does Arenas keep getting left out? Is this thread a discussion of the best point guard in the east or which eastern conference point(s) make the All-Star team? They're not the same issue.
