^ Ah but no one wants to come to the Cavaliers since they don't know if LBJ is staying or leaving.
I wish he'd sign that contract.<.<

Quite happy George went for Belinelli, but I think that makes us short on SFs again, and continues to overload the guards:

PG:Calderon, Jack, Ukic, Banks
SG:Belinelli, Derozan, Douby
SF:Turkoglu, Wright
PF:Bosh, Evans
C:Bargnani, Nesterovic, O'Bryant

I know Wright is a shooting guard, but he's the only guy I see playing minutes at SF while Turkoglu is on the bench.

Also, thoughts on the Okafor - Chandler trade? I think it was pretty good for NO, Okafor's numbers should go up with Paul running the offense.
