There's no movement, there's no passing and post gets used in the opening of games/halves but besides that it's almost non-existent. <br /><br />I do think the Cavs may have been bidding against themselves (a la the Warriors and Dunleavy Jr) but I still think the signing is fine. You're going to overpay for a big man, at this one is useful.<br /><br />Hughes... meh, he obviously isn't that great or the best fit. But I really don't think the Cavs were in a position to sit on the money (though it looks like that would've been the only other viable option).Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17210862608619471273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10484377.post-90402370592883008102007-01-24T16:22:00.000-05:002007-01-24T16:22:00.000-05:00Great post.

I don't think he's a good fit for LeBron, but few centers are, and of those centers that aren't a good fit Z gets by nicely. You are right about his old man moves. <br /><br />I think the Cavs drove up the bid on Z in the summer of 05. The Knicks were showing serious interest but I don't think they were in a position to offer nearly as much money as the Cavs (I could be wrong about this). <br /><br />The Hughes signing cannot be defended, though. He had one good season (a contract year!). We gave him superstar money. It was short-sighted. Sitting on the money would have been smart...but I'll get into this later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
