    Looking Good Tonight - From a Cleveland Fan

    Hey Everyone - I was posting a few days back when the Amare to Cleveland rumors were swirling. Just wanted to come back to comment on the Suns tonight. I didn't get a chance to watch the game, so this is purely based on the box score/game cast, but it looks like your guys are playing quite well...

    Rumors SWIRLING in Cleveland Tonight

    I've seen you post this same idea in several other threads and I just have to ask... What other rumored deal out there has the Suns trading Stoudemire for another All Star? The best player I've heard discussed in trade talks seems to have been Rudy Gay and the grizzlies shot that down pretty...

    Deal going down....VERY SOON

    Slinslin you really seem to have some serious pent up anger. No need to get so worked up. Goran is right...Wine & Gold is a very well respected poster and a confirmed insider. If you have better information I'm sure everyone would appreciate you share

    Coro: Porter likely gone by Monday

    ESPN seems to also be running with a story on this. Not sure if it was posted already, so apologies if it has. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3906621 They mention the Arizona Republic story, but figured everyone might want to see it from a larger media outlet...even if it is ESPN

    Deal going down....VERY SOON

    Ok well if that's how it came across I'm sorry. I think you can look back through all my posts and you will never see me say Hickson is or will ever be half the player Amare is. I've said he's a good prospect who could become a nice player in the next few years. I also never said anything about...

    Deal going down....VERY SOON

    The chemistry issue is one that's been discussed at length and cleveland fans seem really divided from what I've read. I haven't really made up my mind, but I think letting Szczerbiak's contract expire without making ANY deal would be a mistake. Maybe a blockbuster deal like Stoudemire doesn't...

    Deal going down....VERY SOON

    Haha not sure if this was intended, but that's quite the ironic comment to make to a cavs fan with all the Lebron in a Yankees or Cowboys hat drama.

    Deal going down....VERY SOON

    Based on this logic Charlie Villanueva should also be a star already based on his play since january (20+ ppg 7 boards and 3 ast)

    Deal going down....VERY SOON

    Just curious, but what map are you looking at where Chicago is closer to Florida than Cleveland? Haven't followed his career enough to know if he's ALWAYS wanted to play in Chicago, but if that's the case then there you have it.

    Deal going down....VERY SOON

    Thomas had a much better college career?? They both played 1 year: Thomas - 12.3 ppg, 9.2 rbd, 1.3 ast, 3.1 blk Hickson - 14.8 ppg, 8.4 rbd, 1 ast, 1.5 blk Looks pretty similar to me, but regardless, since when is college performance a great barometer for NBA success? Your other points on...

    Deal going down....VERY SOON

    By the way, not sure if this has been posted anywhere (I'm sure it has, but I just saw it...feel free to delete) From SI, posted on another cavs forum: "Other observations from Friday in Phoenix: • The hot topics were the Heat-Raptors trade, which most players believed to be a step up for...

    Deal going down....VERY SOON

    Haha thanks...I'm an all around Cleveland fan so I like the Cavs, Indians and Browns. You learn to develop some patience rooting for those franchises.

    Deal going down....VERY SOON

    Fair enough, it's always difficult to judge rookies talent because we don't see that much of them, especially when they're playing on one of the top teams in the league. Also wanted to ask you guys what you thought about the rumored deal from Chicago? I remember when Thomas came out of LSU he...

    Deal going down....VERY SOON

    Sorry I must be missing where I said he's currently a stud? All I said is that I think it's unlikely the Cavs include a PF prospect they're very high on to add another aging big man to their front line. With Ilgauskas and Ben Wallace both late in their careers, Hickson is really the only...

    Deal going down....VERY SOON

    As a Cavs fan I don't see Hickson being included in a deal for anyone but Stoudemire from the Suns. The Cavs are very high on him as are quite a few NBA scouts. Many have suggested that had he returned to NC State for another year he would be a Top 10 pick in this year's draft. As for Z vs...

    Deal going down....VERY SOON

    Agree with a lot of the points you touch on here. The only things I don't quite see is "You have to believe that the team Amare goes to is one that he'll sign an extension with, so that is out the window." Didn't he come out yesterday and say something about wanting to go to a contender? I...

    Deal going down....VERY SOON

    I don't mean to pile on, but you really need to put things in perspective. Amare is by no means a top 5 player in the NBA. And if you think you're going to get even a top 10 player for him then you're kidding yourself. In all seriousness, Lebron, Kobe, Garnett, Paul, Howard, Wade, Jefferson...

    Rumors SWIRLING in Cleveland Tonight

    Yeah I guess you missed the fact that the list of list of teams interested in a deal seem to have been pruned back to 3. Chicago, Cleveland and it sounds like now Houston are the only teams still discussing deals. We've been over the Chicago offer, so I figured the Suns fans might be interested...

    Rumors SWIRLING in Cleveland Tonight

    Ah I see. To be honest I still think the Bulls offer is the best out there and if a trade does happen it would not surprise me in the least to see it happen with Chicago. Going to be an exciting few days leading up to the deadline.

    Rumors SWIRLING in Cleveland Tonight

    Interesting. Really they're trying to get Noah added? Do you guys see that as an important piece to the deal? Can't say I've ever been that impressed with his game, though he's obviously still pretty young.

    Rumors SWIRLING in Cleveland Tonight

    1) As I said before I think you're really selling Hickson short. But obviously that's just a point of opinion. And I would not disagree that currently Thomas is a better player than Hickson. But you're not dealing Stoudemire to get the best possible player at this moment...otherwise you'd just...

    Rumors SWIRLING in Cleveland Tonight

    While I appreciate the article, I'm still sticking with a source inside the Cavs organization saying discussions with Phoenix are ongoing as of this evening. Who is the guy that leaked the richardson and o'neal deals? What is his position within the organization? All reports I've seen have the...

    Rumors SWIRLING in Cleveland Tonight

    That seems to be the prevailing sentiment here from what I've read. Personally I don't think Shaq fits with the Cavs, but you never know. I also think his contract would be pretty tough to swallow (20MM with 2 years left if I remember correctly?). Hickson would also be excluded from any deal not...

    Ah my fault. Guess I haven't checked that thread in a few hours, so I must have missed the update.
