well Cle already has an established young core as well as perhaps the best player in the league. Adding a 32 year old like DM or KT for that matter makes more sense when you already have James/Hughes/Gooden. They have something in a player worth building around. Who or what are we building around?

Its not butt kissing its fair.

They just got Hughes this year and Gooden last year--it's not like they have a master plan--we have plenty of young players, let's not waste time to name them.

Marshall is not really what we need. We have ALOT of PF's and SF's on the team. Bringing him would not make any sense.

For the cavs however, they needed a bench verteran bench player who would play multiple positions, and they got one. This has nothing to do with us. And yes, if IT would have gotten Marshall, it would be a bad move.

What's good for one team is not alwasy good for another.

Gooden is not a good defensive player btw, his poor D is the reason they want to get rid of him in Cleveland.

I think those comments were directed mostly at a general improvment of some Eastern teams. Not like I said it anyways.

I think the East is the same as last year, Indy, Detroit, and Heat, with now Nets the only legit teams.
