  i think this would be bad news for the Cavs...they don't need a prolific shooter...they need someone who can create for teammates...bad idea

    I think that getting michael Redd, or Jermaine O'Neal, or even Ben Gordan would bring the cavs a long awaited champonship. I've heard others talk about Jaminson and A.I., get real. Jaminson will stay with washington because when washington is healthy, watch out. and A.I. just look at the situation in Denver(A.I. and Anthony), A.I. needs to be alone. To get two of those three mentioned would be a good start for the cavs.

  They already have like 5 shooting guards. Spank is right, they need someone who can create other than LeBron.

  Shameless self-promotion... my take on the Redd to Cleveland rumors.

  This would be a no-brainer for the Cavs if they could pull it off, but I don't think they have the pieces.

  They had Larry Hughes who was huge in Washington, didn't work out either. They have to get a creator and new role players who actually hit shots. In this years series against Boston there were times like towards the end of game seven I thought: "He must feel so alone." The players who are sorrounding him are way too inconsistent. If the Cavs want a championship they're going to need a star - no superstar - but a guy like Gasol. Well, actually they need to refit the whole team, if you want a championship you got to have players off the bench, who would be considered as starters in a team who are not contending for the title - like a James Posey.
  
  Bottom line: If they can get Redd they should take him, but they still need other players.

  James Posey isn't the best example but you also need players off the bench who still want to become starters - while they are having these limited minutes they're going to play their hearts out. Vujacic is huge off the bench with his 3's and stepping up his defense lately. It seems to me that Ben Wallace doesn't care any more, he has his ring, his contract and that is it - these players are the worst for a team. Probably it's because he doesn't see a future with the Cavs for winning a title again. Maybe I'm just wrong and have a wrong impression.

  you cant just have 4 spot up shooter and lebron, u need some1 to create alongside with lebron. the way i see it is you trade for redd and trade him to the warriors who can sign a trade baron davis and send him to the cavs in exchange for redd. i think the cavs might have to throw in a draft pick but if the warriors front office cant get baron to stay, i see it as a possibility. baron would be perfect in creating easy shops for lebron and taking some of the scoring load away from the king, He would also be a better fit than AI who is a great player but not reallly the distubutor that the cavs need.

    Redd isn't just a spot up shooter. He has improved his ability to penetrate and create opportunities for himself and his teammates. It's true that he's a better shooter than penetrator, but he can take guys off the dribble from time to time.
    • RaidersFAN20 replied May 25, 2008

      i seeee him as a younger ray allen. u have a good point that he can take it to the rack and a improved inside score but playmaker he is not. he avg. 's 2 assist per game in his career.

  I dont understand why cavs management is acting like this rocket science.... LEBRON JAMES NEEDS A REAL POINT GUARD! Delonte's good but i mean like an allstar point guard....someone like parker, nash, paul, williams, even andre miller would be a great fit

• LeBronisdirty said May 31, 2008

  you guys are a bunch of retards...LeBron already carried his team to the finals on his own! which we got beat by a better TEAM. Jordan didnt make the finals til his 7th year in the league. which he a supporting cast around him... give LeBron another player like a michael redd who can take all the scoring pressure off LeBron much like Pippen did for Jordan then the cavs will be in the finals again easliy. because when LeBron drives to the hole and gets double or triple teamed he can just dish it out to redd who will bust it from 3. LeBron is not as selfish as a Jordan or Kobe even though they have better players around them...Lebrons campanion right now is a 2nd year player drafted in the 2nd round. ppl expect to much out of LeBron remember hes 23 years old and not even in his prime yet give him another threat and things will get dirty and LeBron and the cavs WILL win a title

    o like all the other spot up shooters that are there to bust threes for lebron. all they have is spot up at EVERY postion. Yes he would be an upgrade but it wouldnt change anything. Daniel Gibson=Spot up shooter. Wally= spot up shooter. Big Z= spot up shooter. the only one who isnt is big ben who quite frankly is nothing without the pistons supporting cast. Basing ur whole supporting cast on being spot up shooters is stupid because shooting for anyone is inconsistent, but drving to the basket, getting fouls, dunks and layups will be consistently there game after game and thats what they need. a consistent scorer.

  In response to dubsfan, I must say that michael redd would be a terrific addition to the cavs. one thing that redd can do is score and create his own shot. He doesnt average 23 pts a game for nothing. that would take a huge amount of pressure off lebron. also the cavs would have to give up a couple of guards in order to get redd so its not like we would be overloaded with them. with redd i think the cavs can win the east, but not the finals until they get a true low post threat.
