    *Cavs next move, still trying to sign Alonzo Gee*

    Not being critical of here but, of the Cavs. If you want him, go get him, quit screwing around with scrubs.

    Good thing we didn’t trade for Bynum. I didn’t realize the Cavs had set their sights so much higher and were trying to get this guy instead. How can someone who scores 6 pts a game not be successful in the NBA? The same reason the Tribe goes after single A pitchers with an era over 10.

    it takes two. Gee has to realize that he’s a slightly below average NBA guy and accept such a contract.
