NBA Free Agency: Cavs Invite Rob Kurz to Camp

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 [...]

Leon Powe is a Cavalier and he has spoken.  Mary Schmitt Boyer has an article from Thursday afternoon with some quotes from Leon Powe.  Assuming he makes it back on the court sometime next year, and assuming there are some teeth to his quotes, Cavaliers fans have a lot to be excited about with this [...]

While this Cavs offseason has featured the Shaq press conference and various shots at LeBron James, there is no doubt that the most entertaining Cavalier has been Delonte West.  Thankfully, Glen Infante was there to get the best West moments on to some threads.  And what is now even better is that West himself will [...]

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 [...]

The theme was “green” as I rode up the escalators of the AMC Loews Theaters in scenic downtown Chicago and Sprite spared no expense in pulling out the punches to promote their new all natural drink — Sprite Green and the Lebron James documentary “More Than A Game.”  The drink boasts half the calories of [...]

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 expectancy on his fellow...

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 [...]

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...

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...

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...

With LeBron James sitting courtside, much of the Verizon Center crowd's attention Friday night was on the reigning NBA MVP as he watched the Washington Mystics face the Connecticut Sun. But the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar quickly became an afterthought in the game's final 10 minutes. After he disappeared into a tunnel toward the end of the fourth quarter, Washington and Connecticut...

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 an already-loaded...
