<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> The Cavaliers did not make any major trades or sign any top free agents during the off-season, unlike many of their rivals in the Eastern Conference.</p> But it wasn't like the Cavs didn't try.</p> One player in particular the team pursued was former Cavs second-round pick Jason Kapono. Kapono, who also played for Charlotte and Miami, had a breakout year last season with the Heat. He led the league in 3-point percentage (51.4) and won the 3-point shooting contest during All-Star Weekend. Kapono also averaged a career-high 10.9 points. Kapono became a free agent and ended up in Toronto. But before he signed a four-year deal worth about $24 million with the Raptors, his agent received a call from the Cavs.</div></p> The Plain Dealer</p>
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (peg182)</div><div class='quotemain'></p> Why do the Heat want another 3 point shooter? They have Jones, and they don't even use him.</p> </div></p> After Kap was gone they wanted Pietrus, then took Davis when they couldn't get him, so I suppose they wanted somebody who can shoot the three but do other things as well.</p> </p>
Even if Kapono signed back with Cleveland I doubt he'd be getting alot of touches, their team is built soley on LeBron while the Raptors play more of a team game were everyone touches the ball down the court.</p>
Yuck. I meant why do the Cavs* want another 3pt shooter from the Heat*? They already have Damon Jones, who they barely use, so what's the point of getting another 3pt shooter?</p>

Hughes is a terrible 3 pt. shooter though. I don't really understand the logic behind this either. Donyell Marshall and Damon Jones were both overpaid over the past couple years to fill the same role.</p>

That teams in a mess if they were seriously looking at Kapono to replace Pavlovic though.</p>
