Derek Anderson Jamal Crawford (was a Cav for a little bit) Trajan Langdon </div> I remember when Derek Anderson, Bervin Knight, & Cedric Henderson were all together & everyone was talking about they were the future of the Cavs. Seems like a lifetime ago, with the current direction of the cavs frachise. Jamal Crawford, what little bit was that? He's been with the bulls ever since he came out of Michigan in 2000. Trajan Langdon is still active. If figured he was playing pickup games some where in Alaska

If figured he was playing pickup games some where in Alaska</div> Jamal Crawford was drafted by Cleveland then traded to the Bulls within hours for Chris Mihm. I was sorta being funny. As for Langdon he was playing ball in Europe, hense me leaving him as active. Cedric Henderson certainly fell from grace quick. It coincided with his new contract.
Darius Miles, I miss the explosive dunks and the horn call. Bobby Sura, I dunno why. I was just always a fan of his. Wes Person, great shooter. I remeber him startin off every game solid with 3 jumpers in a row. Ricky Davis, as much as most of you hate him, you all know he was somethin to watch. Jumaine Jones, Jumaine for Bremer? Terrible, terrible, terrible deal. He was a solid back up wing man that we could definatly use right about now. My favorite all-time, tho not currently active is Terrell Brandon. Probably was our best PG behind Marky Mark Prizzy.
Little Rundown... Mitchell Butler... Wow. Jim Jackson... You know what? I miss this guy. He was consistent and always has been. Too bad noone will keep Jimmy J, Ohio State alum. Matt Harpring... Pretty solid for us, got good for the Jazz didn't he? Andre Miller... I think I might miss him the most. Good personality, good consistent player. Losing him probably got us LeBron though so... D-Miles... While always exciting, his j just didn't fall for us and he made some dumb plays. His jumpshot is softening for the Blazers but I like J- Mac better. Ricky D... "Ricky Davis, as much as most of you hate him, you all know he was somethin to watch."...This is true, Infante. Vitaly Potapenko, Tractor Traylor, and Spoon could make up an all- ugly and out of shape team! I don't know why, but I always liked Vitaly and still root for him with the Sonics. Chris Mihm... Still as soft as ever for the Celts. They'll likely trade him or let him go. I never liked him that much. Trajan Langdon... Jumaine Jones... Has he gotten better. Perhaps I haven't payed close enough attention. Or is it that Bremer was SO disappointing? Derek Anderson... Pretty good now. Brian Skinner,Matt Barnes, Anthony Johnson... Who the hell are they? :mrgreen: Good job on the list Karma! Two more... Smush Parker and Tierre (last name?) Where are these guys?
yeah you forgot, Smush and Tiere Brown and Bimbo Coles.. off the top of my head.. Derek Anderson- I wish we had him, big contract in Portland.. good player.. Matt Barnes- Don't really remember him.. Earl Boykins- I wish we still had him.. he benches 350 lbs i heard.. J.R Bremer- Next... Mitchell Butler- Don't remember him.. Jamal Crawford (was a Cav for a little bit)- Dont really care he is decent.. Ricky Davis- Everyone hates him and he is really good, just is selfish.. but who isn't?? Andrew DeClercq- Possibly can be good dont miss him. Michael Doleac- He plays still and he isnt someone I miss but could be off the bench. Matt Harpring- he got injured so his career could be over.. i liked him Jim Jackson- Best consistent jump shooter wish we could of held him Anthony Johnson- Not sure Jumaine Jones- He only could hit 3's in the corner and he wasnt good at dunking.. Nothing much.. Shawn Kemp (still playing)- Don't make me laugh.. I love Kemp but no... Brevin Knight- He is a backup guard in Mil. I like him.. Trajan Langdon- Good shooter at times... Chris Mihm- Softest guy in the league he wont do anything.. ever... Darius Miles- nuff' said.. Andre Miller- Double Double almost every night can shoot, pass, rebound. Lamond Murray- His career is dying in Toronto I wish we would of kept him instead of getting Yogi.. even though Murray wanted out.. Milt Palacio- Hes in Toronto too I think and he is consistent off the bench for them. Wesley Person- Great shooter he is our 3 point threat we need now.. Vitaly Potapenko- He was decent.. Brian Skinner- Could be good, we can see what he does in Philly Bob Sura- We should look in him could be still good.. Robert Traylor- Tractor Traylor hes dominating in New Orleans Clarence Weatherspoon- Spoon is playing in Houston now and he is getting some PT not really missing him, we could of had him still..
Personally, I think Clarence Weatherspoon was the best on the list above. He was a double double guy and he brought it every night. Sorta like what Booze is doing for us right now, except Weatherspoon played for way worse teams.
Personal fav : Andre Miller - played the game so smoothe. I loved the way he broke down players then kicked it out to Chris Gatling. Never liked : Lamond Murray - had some talent, but just was so selfish. ala Davis, but Ricky at least showed some passion.
Gotta be Earl Boykins. Just his energy and scoring ability make him fun to watch. I love when he hits those running floaters all amongst the trees down low. He's done more than most on that list, and with less physical ability. I hear he's the strongest man in the NBA pound for pound. At least that's what his trainer says. Least favorites.......Lamond Murray, Doleac, Potapenko.
Cedric Henderson is another player I miss. He was pretty explosive. Lacked a consistant jumper, but he was never afraid of contact.
Dejuan Wagner right now reminds me of Cedric Henderson. Had some early success, but didn't do any work to further their game. Cedric had great athletisism and become a decent defensive stopper. His offensive game just faded real bad.
Mine is Andre Miller, he's always been one of my favourite players. I also don't mind Ricky when he's playing as a 6th man or a third scorer. If you look through his career he's never been good when his role is bigger but the smaller his role becomes it seems like the better a player he becomes. Lammond Murray I just don't like, hasn't done anything for us in Toronto
Speaking of Murray and the Raptors,as well as lack of contribution. I forgot our all time favourite Michael Yogi Stewart. Wasn't he just great!
Dre Miller (loved him before he was a Cav) Earl (went to HS a block away from me) Smush (amazing skill, just an ahole)
No love for Shawn Kemp? 20ppg, 10 rbg. He was passed his prime, but this guy gave us hope... and admit it, you miss the Shawn Kemp days.
