The latest rumors now have the Cavaliers working hard on a deal with Washington. It is being said that the Wizards would ship Antawn Jamison and Mike James to Cleveland for Zydrunas Illguaskas, Jamario Moon and a first round draft pick. The deal evidently can be done without the Cavs including J.J. Hickson.
While LeBron James prefers the Cavs acquire the Phoenix Suns Amar'e Stoudemire, Cavs management still seems leery of the potential fit that Stoudemire could supply.
Jamison, at 34 years old, would amount to a rent-a-player for the Cavs down the stretch. In my opinion, if you are going to risk the team chemistry by acquiring a player, I would prefer it to be someone who can present a longer term upside. That is why the Stoudemire deal makes more sense to me.

ReplyDeletePlease pick a different topic to post about. I happen to agree with you on this one. I like it better when we disagree - it spices things up.
It's under advisement, Doc.
ReplyDeleteTeam "Chemistry" is a joke and vastly over-rated! TALENT wins championships, not team chemistry. The 2009 Indians had great chemistry...problem was they had very little talent!! I'm betting Suns end up keeping Amare, rather than deal him in a trade that amounts to JJ Hickson for a 5-time all-star! JT
ReplyDeleteJT, I generally agree. Chemistry is a component, but only to a certain degree. Players win championships, always have, always will.
ReplyDeleteNo benefit to Suns keeping Amare. I see him being dealt. Suns have limited (no) chance in playoffs; keeping Amare, and they pay an additional $10+ million luxury tax...for what?
ReplyDeleteIt's the same reason we traded Cliff Lee....
Just like the OJ's said years ago...

Doc, thanks for the musical entertainment to put things in perspective; and you think I have too much time on my hands. That was a song also, but I will spare our readers the lyrics.
