FanNation | FanProphet's Blog | The Cavs: "Better Get Better"

So I was checking things out for the future after our game 7 loss, and it looks to me like next year is gonna be more of the same, it’s all weather or not Wally gets back to being a 16-20 ppg player again like he used to be. Ben’s salary is over 14 million, Lebron over 14, Wally’s is 13, Z is 11 , but the worst thing is we still got 1 more year to pay Snow (7.3) and Jones (4.4), the 2 combined are almost 12 million total. Almost 6 million for Anderson and 4.5 for Sasha all adds up to 72 million, we can bring West back for 2.7 qualifying offer, so basically 75 million already committed in next years salary. This years salary was around 82 million, and we still gotta deal with getting Boobie a contract and what to do with Devon Brown and Joe Smith.

Gilbert Arenas has a player option in Washington, but flat out said he’s gone if Jamison isn’t re-signed. Problem is that we are gonna be real cap tight with all the money we already have committed, not sure if Ferry can pull something off or not. We are definitely stuck with Ben and Wally, unless we trade them for equally worthless large contracts like we did with Hughes to get the 2 in the first place. I’m thinking they need to trade Andy and Sasha for cheap contracts or 2nd round picks. If Booby, Joe Smith, or Devon Brown can be brought back very cheaply than do it, if not we gotta let them walk in order to pony up all the cash needed to get Agent Zero in a Cav’s uniform. If that happens: Read Full Article...
