NBA Free Agency: Cavs Invite Rob Kurz to Camp
Via Waiting For Next Year

August 15, 2009
Not long after being spurned by Joe Smith, the Cavaliers have reportedly given a non-guaranteed contract to forward Rob Kurz.
If you recall, Kurz is the three-point specialist out of Golden State that has intriguing per-36 minute stats, but has not been given much of an opportunity in terms of playing time. Danny Ferry has [...]

ESPN is reporting that veteran forward Joe Smith agreed to terms with the Atlanta Hawks for the veteran minimum.
The Cavaliers reportedly offered Smith the same one-year package, but the veteran big man chose to go with what will be his 10th team in 14 seasons with the NBA. Not the greatest of news if [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers sign center Darryl Watkins
The Cavs have signed 24-year old C/F Darryl Watkins to a 1-year deal. Watkins did not play in the NBA last season. He played in 2007-08 with the Kings appearing in 9 games (0 starts) in which he averaged 7.9 minutes, 1.3 points and 1.3 rebounds per game. Watkins will have a [...]
With A Revamped Cavaliers Roster, Can LeBron and Co Win 66 Plus Games?
Let's be honest here. LeBron James carried the Cleveland Cavaliers to an incredible and historic 66 win '08-'09 NBA season. Assembled with practically "no-namers"
on his teams roster, LBJ managed to end the season (as MVP) with not
just the best record in the entire league, but as the leading favorites
heading into the postseason.
With not much reliance and...
The Cleveland Cavaliers sign forward Rob Kurz
The Cavs have signed 24-year old forward Rob Kurz to a 1-year deal. Kurz played in 40 games (5 starts) as a rookie last season with the Warriors and he averaged 11.1 minutes, 3.9 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. The Cavaliers were smart to sign this guy even though he [...]
The Heavenly Twins
Lots of changes. Bleacher Reports tells us: Gordon WiebeHandshake (Business Week) GM Danny Ferry continued the offseason rampage, signing Toronto's swingman Anthony Parker, Miami's versatile forward Jamario Moon, a re-singing of the 6'11" Brazilian Anderson Varejao, and the most recent...
Leon Powe Interview
Hoops Daily writer Joshua Motenko (the same guy who originally tipped us off that the Cavs were going to offer Leon a contract) has an interview with Leon. Here's his take on the series of events.
What happened with Boston? Why did you decide to sign with the Cavs? There was no offer from Boston. I waited a while, about a month or two, because I love Boston...
Bad Knee, Maybe, But Strong Heart
The Cavs signed veteran forward Leon Powe to provide bench strength once Powe's knee heals (and it's expected to by the All-Star break).This is a guy who was in the same HS graduating class as LeBron James. He was a big star in his own right coming out of high school. Major injuries have limited Powe to reaching his ceiling, but his career at Cal and as a back-up with the...

Flipping through some movie posters today and what do you know, an NBA player showed up. Zydrunas Ilgauskas apparently is in the new Sherlock Holmes movie coming out this Christmas.
Finally there is a legit reason when Big Z’s game vanished during the NBA playoffs. He was shooting a movie at the same time.

Nuggets still searching for bench player(s)
The Nuggets are szczertainly still in the mix for Wally Szczerbiak, an NBA source said, as Denver tries to find another cog for its bench, which was so impressive a season ago.
Like Woody Paige wrote last week, Wally would be a nice fit for the Nuggets, providing Linas Kleiza-like long range shooting off the bench [...]
Why the Cavs are better than the Lakers
The PG matchup:
Mo Williams/Delonte West will be huge headaches for the Lakers D. Good luck containing either one of these studs.
The SG matchup:
Kobe won't have the luxary of being guarded by a pg anymore. Anthony Parker will make him work for his points and contest anything and everything...
Big Man Shuffle: Cavs "Sign" Golden State's Rob Kurz As Joe Smith Signs With Atlanta
Instead of doing battle in meaningful Eastern Conference playoff games, Joe Smith (right) and Hedo Turkoglu will voluntarily sign with teams that will be done before May.Just call Danny Ferry "the man with a plan." We will have to wait about
nine or 10 months to see if his plan works, but there's no doubt that
he has one, and he's simply not done adding pieces to...
