Huh?

Damon Jones LOST his job ALREADY.

They weren't playing Damon last year either.

Wesley's the backup PG, Damon never had a job to lose.

We can include the Ronald Dupree and Mo Evans trade exceptions to get there.

But if we lose Davis, and the order from on high is to not exceed the tax threshold, how does losing our backup Center help us?

We'll become ridiculously guard heavy.

@ Matt ~ Try an aging Hubert Davis without the shooting ability or back hair.

Damon Jones is the $3.8 million dollar backup PG to the $6.7 million dollar starter Eric Snow. Like when the Pistons had Arroyo backing up Billups.

Either way, they didn't sign Wesley to back up the point. HE'S NOT A POINT GUARD. He's a NATURAL SHOOTING GUARD who can handle the ball a little. This isn't fantasy basketball man.

Then what's Shannon Brown doing?

1. Stop bringing money into this. The fact damon makes more doesn't mean he plays more.

2. Wesley spent half his career as a PG in Boston.

3. If you're trying to tell me Damon Jones is more of a PG than Wesley, you need to have your head examined.

PG is almost a completely irrelevant position for the Cavs. Pretty much everything comes from what James creates anyways. Wesley if healthy is a step up from Jones at the 1. He's a vastly superior defender and a more consistent shooter.

Fun stat time!!

When Murray played less than 30 minutes in a game this year he shot 16.7% from the field! Woo hoo! He's pretty good between 30-40 minutes, but other than that... not so much. It's the same story with most players. It's a rhythm game.

Davis(or Cato) and their 2nd for Banks. They want something in return(especially a C) for Banks, and we could cleary use a PG.

That's ridiculous.

wait, how is that possible?

he averaged 36 minutes a game. if, in less than 30, he averaged 16.7% how does his overall FG jump to 40%+ in 6 more minutes a game.

unless, his sample size of less than 30 min a game is very small.....
