I don't feel like you really wanted this board Troy

Lately the Cavs have been dodging bullets when it comes to possible trade options. First the Cavs show interest in Anthony Randolph and he’s sidelined for two months with an ankle injury. Next there are rumors about Michael Redd returning to Ohio and he’s now had a season, and possibly career ending, knee injury.

With Randolph hurt our next trade target is Troy Murphy. Troy has had a bunch of bumps and bruises throughout his career but only one major injury (right foot/ankle in the 03-04 season). Having said that, lace those ankle braces up tight Troy, you could be next. Believe me I don’t want to see anyone else fall victim to the Cavs reign of terror. So I’m warning you right now Troy, be careful out there.

I felt it was only right to warn Troy, but I don’t feel like he’s the missing piece to the championship puzzle. I would much rather see Antawn Jamison come to the Cavaliers. He’s a very steady player with a good attitude. He may be a defensive liability at times, but he makes up for that weakness with his ability to shoot the long ball and play inside. He would fit perfectly on the Cavs, but there’s still the issue of who Cleveland would have to give up in exchange for his services.

I hope that Cleveland makes a move that improves the team before the trade deadline. We made a huge mistake last year by not using our expiring contracts to our advantage. I’m praying we don’t make similar mistakes this year.

And if you’re wondering why I’m not worried about Antawn, he’s already dodged enough bullets in the locker room this season. He’ll be just fine.

This quick comparison that I’ve just made has nothing to do with this post, but I found the picture of Dunleavy while searching for a Troy Murphy pic. Is it just me or is that straight out of Avatar?

Apparently Dunleavy auditioned for Avatar late one night...
