Shopping Around

The Cavs are definitely going to need some help this offseason, some upgrades and depth, and are going to have to get creative in seeking that out. As we've noted, the LeBrons have virtually no cap space and zero (0) draft picks available to them this year, in a tribute to atrocious management that only the Cavs could put together.

So, we're glad to hear Danny Ferry is open to all the options as it relates to the draft. We have no idea about price tags for draft picks...we didn't really know a team could just out-and-out purchase another team's picks, but we'd guess $3mm will get a team into the lottery. In our humble opinion, if the draft gets into the 10-15 range and either Conley or Acie Law (or both) are still available, the Cavs have got to be all over the phones. We're not sure Conley gets past the Hawks at 11, and we don't really think the Hawks will sell that pick if they have a shot at Conley there. Even if the Cavs throw in an autographed LeBron jersey with the $3mm. We love Law, and would be psyched to see the Cavs drop step into the draft and grab him.

Let's not get nuts, though. Ferry isn't exactly inspiring a lot of confidence as a "team builder" in the national press. We think we understand, though, since we, too, hate Hughes, Jones and Marshall.

While i'm on the look alikes (see Ron Howard = Phil Savage) does Kelly Dwyer of CNN look like a pissed off Jordan Schaul + a mangina? Maybe I'm off there.

You put that Good Charlotte punk hair on Jordan, add a flavor saver, and you've got yourself a match. Well done, my friend. You've won yourself a tryout to get on "Bingo Night in America"!
