Offseason Movement: The Cavs swung a good deal by trading Damon Jones and Joe Smith (to the Bucks and Thunder, respectively) for Mo Williams, a dynamic scoring point guard who can also pass the ball (17.2 ppg, 6.3 apg). It's not clear just how much he'll get to handle the ball, but the Cavs would be wise to let him take some of the offensive load off of LeBron. Williams was basically a salary dump by the Bucks, who just signed him to a long deal in the summer of 2007, so the Cavs are rolling the dice that he's worth the dough.

Which Cav makes more than LeBron?
In the natural order of things in professional sports, the highest-paid player gets the most scrutiny from the first day of the season on. That is not the case for the Cavaliers, which is a refreshing change for the man in question. Ben Wallace will earn $14.5 million this season, about $100,000 more than LeBron James, but he's been able to operate in relative anonymity. After...

While I ponder my fanhood of the Browns, this morning I turn my attention to the Cavaliers. Sure, they may not even be in season yet, but I'm not even thinking about this year. After hearing from Natalie over at Need4Sheed that the Pistons could be low-balling forward/center Jason Maxiell, the first thought that came to my mind was "Man, would he look nice in Cleveland...

Warriors-Bulls halftime
In the pre-game Webber said that this is a chance for him to still believe. Good choice of words.
More irony, Webber covering Joe Smith. Both are former top picks who disappointed fans in the bay area.
