<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Big Nasty:</div><div class="quote_post">I haven't really seen Walt play that much the last few seasons...his game fall off that bad?</div> I just don't like his outside shot and it would not matter what year he would be in for his career, I still take Rice or Scott, they are pure shooters. Walt can help a team, just not the pure shooter we need here.

Glen's shot has really fallen off this season, and as any pure shooter will tell you, the only way to get out of a slump is to keep shooting it. I highly doubt Glen would be any more effective than Walt as a shooter, and I think you'd probably get more out of the Wiz in the locker room. Just my own two cents, though.
Page 9 It's true that Rice is a washup, but we don't necessaraly need him to be a potential difference maker in every game. We just need an expericanced shooter, and he is probably the best shot Cleveland has. Neither the vets nor the rookies on the Cavs can sink a pure jumper. Rice still has a few season's left to be our "Reggie Miller" type of role player just like Indiana has.
That's right people, we don't need the old Glen Rice, just as I have been saying all we need is someone that you have to keep a body on on the perimeter so we can spread the floor a bit for LeBron to drive/finish/dish. I don't care if Rice is 40, you still can't give him open looks from deep.
If you were Paxon... What player changes would you make before the deadline? Lets face it, we are "trying" to make a playoff run and our current roster isn't going to cut it. Who should we sign? Who should we trade? Who should we waive? The way I see it we are in desperate need of an offensive threat. Well lets take a look at the top three FA: Walt Williams, Glen Rice, and Isiah Rider. If I was Pax, I would go ahead and waive Ruben Bum-Bum and J.R. Bummer. Then I would go ahead and fill the IL spots with Kedrick Brown and Jason Kapono. Then go ahead and sign Rice. He can spread the floor, he can drain the open look, and he probably is cheap as well. I know most of you might disagree with my next statement but I feel that Cleveland should be the team that gives Rider a chance. Do you really think he will be a bad influence on LeBron? If so, how? This man is seemed to have matured enough to know his role and to strive to make himself a better person. Sign the man to a 10-day and lets see how it goes.
i disagree with the rider move, he is a bum. u should have heard some of the statements he made. one example, he said if he sins with a team he is gonna need them to hire someon to wake him up so he doesnt miss practice. thats not the dedication u want from a player. u know what rice wouldnt be a bad pick up, butttt he is old now and im sure he wants to be on a championship team. id like to get eddie jones and move bron to sf.i know jones costs some money and u might have to give someone up for him. but he can score,shoot, and play defense.
Im pretty sure he was joking about hiring a human alarm clock. In the interview he had he stated that being late will not be a problem.
Szczerbiak on the move this season? <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Szczerbiak knows people are questioning how he'll accept a secondary role, in the wake of Sam I Am's jump to All-Star status, along with the presence of Sprewell and the defensive emergence of Hassell. I prefer to remember what Wally World told ESPN.com in October: "We've gotten so much out of the talent we've had here. We've proven the system works. The system's not changing, but now we've got better talent in the system. I'm telling you, we just want to win. We've won 50 games before, but I'm sick of losing in the playoffs, and I know KG is, too." There's certainly a good chance Minnesota will elect to move Szczerbiak in the offseason, and Cleveland, which so desperately needs a shooter, would be wise to be first in line for the former Miami of Ohio star. But it's Flip's contention, which also has convinced us, that any potential headaches have been soothed by the way the Wolves started the season without the injured trio. </div> Full story Thanx to CBBI for this article!
