The Cavs will need to trade for a younger center even if they win it all. Bosh and Amare are possible but not likely. Guys mentioned have been Okafor, Chandler Kaman and Milicic. Who would be best?
Travis Heath:
If he's healthy I like Chandler because of his shot blocking ability and the way he can run the floor. I would avoid Darko like the plague. Okafor is solid but overpaid. Kaman falls into that same boat, but when healthy he brings a lot to the table offensively. Mehmet Okur can opt out, perhaps the Cavs could try and construct some kind of trade in the offseason with Utah. I think Okur would be able to play the role that Z has been playing for Cleveland in years.
This comes from nba rumors thread. What if we trade Ok50 to the Cavs for Varejo, Gibson and Hickson. We could then package Nazy and Dj to the Clips for Kaman and Collins.
Felts, Gibson, pick
Bell, Collins, pick
Wallace, Radman (pick Earl Clark)
Diaw, Hickson, Ajinca
Kaman, Varejo, Diop
With Ok50 short comings on the offensive end now gone with Kaman's offensive ability and defensive presents and size we get more points in the paint from Diaw's passes. We get a young stub in Hickson and a pg that can hit the 3 ball from Gibson. Two projects at sg but Collins should be able to handle it but we could get Ellington, Henderson in the second rd. This would be a special team.
