Cavaliers Happenings

Cavaliers Happenings He is still on the roster because this is the final year of his contract, though he and the Cavs have filed paperwork and begun the process of retiring due to a disability for the knee which he injured a little more than a year ago in a pickup game. Within the next few months when several missed-game thresholds are met, the Cavs hope to win approval from an independent doctor to remove him from their books and save $7.3 million in luxury taxes and several million more with insurance coverage. Cleveland.Com Eighteen months ago, the Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers seemed to be on the verge of a great rivalry. Both young teams were ...
Cavs top Bulls - What others are saying about the game
Cleveland Cavaliers News —
Cavs top Bulls - What others are saying about the game LeBron James scored a season-high 41 points — 15 on free throws — and Zydrunas Ilgauskas added 15 points and 10 rebounds, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 107-93 win over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night. James, who briefly left the floor in the first quarter after twisting his left ankle, missed just once from the line. In his past two games, James, who has struggled with his touch from 15 feet throughout his career, has made 28 of 31 free throws after going 15 of 24 in the season’s first three games. While engaging in some friendly trash talk with former teammate Drew Gooden, James scored 14 ...
Could McDyess and Gooden become Cavaliers?
Cleveland Cavaliers News —
Could McDyess and Gooden become Cavaliers? Brian Windhorst from Cleveland.com speculates on whether McDyess or Gooden could land themselves in Cleveland. McDyess McDyess is a versatile player, who can play both power forward and center, and is a strong shot-blocker, rebounder and outside shooter. He’s also a strong locker-room presence. All of which would make him a perfect fit with the Cavs. It would probably come at the sacrifice of playing time for rookie J.J. Hickson but would fill the role vacated by veteran forward Joe Smith after the trade for Mo Williams. So why would he consider the Cavs? McDyess has a good relationship with Ben Wallace stemming from ...
LeBron tips the scales
Cleveland Cavaliers News —
LeBron tips the scales Brian Windhorst reports that ESPN analyst Jon Barry, who was in town to work Wednesday’s game against the Chicago Bulls, said on ESPN radio that LeBron James recently weighed in at more than 270 pounds. When he came into the league six years ago, James weighed 240 pounds and currently the roster lists him at 250. But last season James let it slip that he was 260, though he quickly took it back after it raised eyebrows. Playing power forward for both Team USA and now for the Cavs, it would seem reasonable that James bulked up a bit in preparation, though maybe not to more than 270. It doesn’t seem to be slowing him down; his body fat is ...

Cleveland Cavaliers News —
Cavaliers top Pacers (111-107) The Cavaliers started the game Friday night against the Indiana Pacers sluggish thinking the Pacers (1-3) will go away with not much efforts. But for two and a half quarters the Pacers had more lively legs and they led for most of the game.

Mid through the third quarter, the Pacers were leading 61-53, James decided to take over. It started with a hanging dunk for a three-point play. Then came a fast-break dunk. Then a driving up-and-under layup. Then a pass to an ...
