Cavaliers likely not done adding to roster


There have been recent rumblings about the Cavaliers wanting to bring an additional guard in to help Mo and Delonte with ball-handing duties. There is truth to these rumors, the Cavs are seriously considering bringing another veteran player into the mix at guard. The short list includes Jerry Stackhouse, Juan Dixon, Chucky Atkins, and Bobby Jackson. What does this move mean for Daniel Gibson? Gibson is a solid knock-down shooter but hasn't proven that he can be effective for an entire season. Will he lose playing time if the Cavs bring one of these players in? (yes) There was definitely interest in aquiring ex-Cav Ronald "Flip" Murray before he signed a deal with the Charlotte Bobcats. This is Danny Ferry's last ditch effort to bring in one more solid player to complement LeBron James in this last year of his contract. The hope is with the addition of Shaquille O' Neal, the Cavs win a championship and lock up LeBron for a few more years. The recent news of a Russian billionaire moving a franchise to Brooklyn has probably seriously threatened Dan Gilbert and Danny Ferry and they realize that this year is likely the Cavaliers last shot to win a championship. Cleveland needs this to happen desperately, as he is the face of the city and a home-grown global icon. Basically, LeBron James is underrated
