I like this move even more. Piece to a championship puzzle. He is the kind
of guy that can help us, especially with guys like Shaq. Could the final
piece be Wesley? Along with a healthy Hughes and Marshall finding his shot?

I freaked out for about 14 seconds when I saw Anderson Varejao in the
title, but aside from that minor panic, yeah, great move. At least a
very good backup, and not too old, either.

"Marshall fining his shot" is a bit optimistic, though; "a healthy
Hughes" irresponsibly so.

zoning out of course) to the mix.

Pollard's one of those guys you hate unless he's on your team. Nice
move!

Kind of like Danny Fortson. He is a hack and an enforcer. It would be nice
to see that thug in a Cavs uniform, though I really can't stand the guy.

I am trying this glass half empty idea, though Marshall will be on a short
leash with me. He desperately needs to be the guy we thought we signed to
get us to the next level. I believe this is a key to our improving along
with somebody emerging with an outside shot and defense (Brown?) and whether
or not we pick up a PG or simply use Brown
or Gibson. Due to the cap situation, we are pretty limited in what we can
do. So what we have must improve.

I agree with your take on the versatility this gives us with our bigs.
Pollard gives us a more physical player than we had before and is a legit
backup C with his size and height. Also I agree this was a better move than
Evans, who I believe was only an option if Gooden left. Kudos to Ferry.

I am agreeing with you way too much lately, but if Marshall has another
season like last year, we will surely be disagreeing again though I don't
think either one of us will change the other's mind. Let's hope Marshall
find his stroke and moves a little more.

No. He's got more offense than Fortson.

I really like this pickup. Henderson would have been better than Evans,
and this is a nice piece for us.

Need a PG. Someone like Luke Ridnour would fit in perfectly. Pass
first kind of a guy that can defend and hit the mid range jumper...

Would be nice. Right now, we do not really require a classic point guard,
just someone to get the ball across the timeline and into Lebron's hands
where our offense flows from. We have no cap space so barring a trade to get
a PG, this will not happen. Seattle's asking price would be too high for us
and we do not have players with reasonable contracts they would be
interested in. We may add a Wesley or some other aging veteran at a very
small price but I doubt anything more.
