    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">AKRON, Ohio -- LeBron James says he would like to have some input on which players the Cavaliers add to their roster as the free agency period begins next week.

    James also said he would like to see Joe Johnson, Michael Redd, Ray Allen or Larry Hughes join the team, as well as Chicago's Eddy Curry.

    James did not mention Cavaliers free-agent center Zydrunas Ilgauskas, whom James openly campaigned to keep last season. </div>

    speaking

    Speaking of free agents the Cavs need to finish setting up the front office quickly. Other teams have assuredly started talking to agents and negotiating (despite not being allowed to yet) while the Cavs are forced to stand pat. If you remember last year Steve Nash was signed mere hours after the beginning of free agency and you know they didnt work out an entire deal in a few hours...

    Well just because we don't have a GM doesn't mean you can't negotiate a contract & thier is a interim GM. I think this is good because LeBron obviously wants to win & who doesn't. Him having a say in it I think will only help.

    I still believe that joe johnson would be the best fit for the team. I don't think he would have a problem with being the 2nd option on the team after he was the 3rd, 4th, or even 5th option at times for the suns. We need someone that plays solid d too and he fits that bill, he's also the youngest and has the most upside.

    I would like either one of the 4 to come here. Hughes, Redd, Allen, Johnson. Joe is the longshot because obviously the Suns are doing everything they can to keep him. I would love to have Joe Johnson though but it most likely won't happen.
