    It probably wouldnt take much to get him. A point guard who everybody should try to get is Sergio Rodrigez. Hes a good playmaker who can become a nice player in the NBA, and hes somewhat unknown, he'd be perfect for the Cavs.

I don't think they'll trade him. I could be wrong though.

    I wouldnt think they would either...hes a very good playmaker from what ive seen. And Portland fans are very high on him...Cavs without a doubt need a playmaker though. The only dominant scorer they have is LeBron(besides Hughes, but he isnt turning out like the Wizard he was), and the only playmaker they have is LeBron. They need to get another playmaker so LeBron can fully be used as far as scoring. Even a Luke Ridnour would help somewhat.

    I'm not high on Udrih, especially as a starting point guard. He might be nice for a little bit at backup point guard, but from the limited times I saw him, he wasn't very impressive at all. Jacque Vaughn, and older journeymen that had his best days as a backup for the Orlando Magic, beat Udrih out for playing time by the end of this season.

    The only reason I could see Cavs making this kind of move is the same reason Nugs traded for Steve Blake. Get a guy in whose main motive is to the set guys up and knock down the open shot. Beno seems like this kind of player but has been inconsistent in San Antonio. But I think it's worth a shot by Cleveland to get him if they can, reason being is how Pops can be with a young pg(Parker). In Cleveland, he won't be pulled/benched when he makes a mistake or get in the doghouse. He'll have more freedom to play through it.

    Ferry, you need to stop smoking! I don't want this guy, please no. And if it means trading one of our young guns or something, I just.. No. Unless we deal like Wesley or something.... [​IMG]I'd like to see us buy a draft pick before we can do anything. If we do, and we find a way to get Bibby[Not a big fan of getting him, but if it works...] and lets see where we stand. I don't wanna deal out a lot for Mike Bibby, and I know The Kings would want Gooden and/or Anderson. Kinda stuck right here, just hope Ferry makes the right move this off-season.
