Trying to Make Sense of the Best Browns Since 1999 Poll
February 28, 2012Yes, I Still Love Albert Belle
February 28, 2012In his lastest column for the New York Post, Peter Vescey states that the Cleveland Cavaliers once again find themselves in the middle of several trade discussions. While Orlando’s Dwight Howard remains the most-coveted pending free agent, it sounds like Cleveland’s Ramon Sessions is the Plan B for several teams, including the Los Angeles Lakers who are reportedly doing “some fast talking.”
Certainly, salary cap space is playing to Cleveland’s advantage.
Having $7.1 million in cap space, Vescey states that Chris Grant and his staff are receiving plenty of teams looking to move draft picks if the Cavaliers, who are “swamped by calls,” are willing to take on an additional contract or two. Within the last 24 hours, reports surfaced surrounding the Atlanta Hawks looking to move Marvin Williams’ $7 million dollar contract.
While Houston’s Kyle Lowry or Portland’s Raymond Felton are also on Los Angeles’ radar, the cap space posessed by Cleveland make any discussed trades that much easier to complete. It is expected that all trades the Cavaliers make will either involve additional financial freedom or additional draft selections, preferably in the first round.
The 2012 NBA trade deadline is March 15.

– “Yes, Mr. Grant?”
– “If Kupchak calls say I’m on the other line and don’t put him through for at least a couple of minutes.”
– “Will do, Mr. Grant.”
Don’t you mean, “Portland’s Raymond Felton”?
Ramahn Sessions = Ricardo Rincon
Ive always liked Marvin W. and would consider him a sizeable upgrade over Casspi
Why take on Marvin Williams for $7.5 million when you could sign Wilson Chandler for the same money and keep Ramon or trade him for something else?
Ramon for D. Howard…straight up.
Your move Orlando.
Why would Houston give-up Kyle Lowry? Unless the Lakers are giving back Pau. And, why do the media seem to think the Lakers want to get rid of Pau so bad (if that is the case)?
throw in a 2nd rounder + Jamison and get back Ryan Anderson too
Jamison, Sessions and a 2013 second rounder for the Rams #2 Pick.
Wait, what?
I like the idea of getting Marvin Williams and ATL’s first rounder for Sessions/Casspi. I also like the idea of being the third team in the LA-ORL trade, taking on Reddick and Turk while dumping jamison and getting Goudelock/Liggins and a pick. All of these are small moves that would work in the long run for this club. Get crackin Grant!!
cuz we would include Casspi and get ATL’s 1st rounder as well
Can we dump Hafner too?
Yea but Chandler has to want to sign in Cleveland for that to work.
I dont know if ATL would make that trade
im just going off of what I read here and that’s what I’ve seen
shut down the internet, TSR wins.
I would consider a cherry slurpee an upgrade over O.C. If it came with a bendy straw.
RoYourBoat……Why even consider a 2nd round draft choice in a trade?…..Cavs didn’t even make use of the several they had last season when several god players were on the board.
