Gibson set for expanded role

The Cleveland Cavaliers are expecting to see a lot more of shooting guard Daniel Gibson in the upcoming season. 

Gibson saw his playing time decrease last year despite being one of the few players LeBron James actually trusted with the ball.

He has the ability to knock down outside shots and the team hopes he can develop into a more complete player.

He is one of the few players on the current roster that has some considerable scoring ability, something Cleveland desperately needs with the departure of James. ( Read More…)

James thanks Cavaliers fans

A month after announcing his decision to head to Miami, LeBron James got around to thanking the Cleveland Cavaliers fans for their support over the years.

James’ big announcement on ESPN drew the ire of Cavaliers fans who held out hope he would remain in Cleveland.

The hometown boy’s decision to bolt a city that hasn’t seen a championship in many decades was just the latest bit of sports torture.

He recently came under even more scrutiny after taking out an ad in an Akron newspaper to thank those from his hometown who supported him all this time.

Fans in Cleveland wanted to feel the love as well, and now they have, although I’d say it’s too little, too late.

Cavaliers trade West

The Cleveland Cavaliers have traded guard Delonte West to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Also in the deal, the Cavaliers sent guard Sebastian Telfair to Minnesota for center Ryan Hollins and a second round pick.

The Cavaliers had enough of West’s off-the-court problems and are happy to dump that on another team.

Hollins is a very athletic, under-developed big man that the Cavaliers hope will become a mainstay in the paint. ( Read More…)

Jamison could move to bench

Cleveland Cavaliers veteran forward Antawn Jamison could be going from starter to reserve.

New head coach Byron Scott wants to push the tempo more than past Cleveland teams.

The result is that 21-year old J.J. Hickson would likely move into Jamison’s spot in the lineup.

That means Jamison would have to move to small forward or to the bench, and it looks like the latter. ( Read More…)

Cavaliers interested in Barnes

The Cleveland Cavaliers are making a strong push for free agent defensive stopper Matt Barnes.

The Cavaliers really like Barnes’ toughness and ability to get after people on the defensive end of the floor.

He really increased his stock over the past couple of seasons with how well he played for Orlando.

The Celtics and Heat remain the favorites to land Barnes, but he is interested in the playing time he could find in Cleveland. ( Read More…)

James leaving Cavaliers

After all the hoopla surrounding the big decision from LeBron James, he is moving on to the Miami Heat.

James will head to South Beach after a courting by many other teams that really lasted a couple of years.

The only problem now for the NBA’s biggest star is that he is facing a serious backlash in the Cleveland area. ( Read More…)
