    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Among the intriguing NBA free agents who might flirt with the deep-pocketed Cavs this summer is Portland small forward Shareef Abdur-Rahim. He has the same agent (Aaron Goodwin) as Cavaliers star LeBron James. Abdur-Rahim made $14.6 million last season. </div>

    Abdur-Rahim joining Cleveland would give them an interesting front line. Technically, both Abdur-Rahim and Gooden are both tweeners, and neither are really tough enough to handle center. Offensively, though, Reef makes his living inside, and could replace Ilgauskas as far as their post presence. They'd need to find a way to sign a good, defensive center to complete their lineup.

    that'd be good help for LeBron. Since he's all alone over there right now. Reef gives everything to the team offense and defense. hope it becomes true.

    I think you're thinking of another Abdur-Rahim. JK, Shareef isn't very good on defense but its not much of a downgrade from Gooden either. I was wondering, what do Cav fans think of Derek Fisher? Us GS fans like him but now that we have Baron he isn't worth the money he makes. He plays solid D, excellent shooting (and clutch too),great character and leadership, playoff experience, knows how to win, knows what his role is, but hes overpaid.
