what do you think Danny ferry should do?
I'm asking this because I was taking a glance at CavsGM.com the other day, oops, I mean realGM.com, and read the 8 headlines they had posted there and 4 were about the Cavs.
Lebron and Paul ride bikes through Akron.
Lebron says he's loyal to Akron not Cleveland.
Shaq on trading block if things don't work out.
Ilgauskas on the trading block!
The common thread amongst these threads was the fear that seems to be mounting in the Cleveland front office about making sure that Lebron is happy so that he re-signs with the team. But is that Ferry's best move? For instance, I wonder what ferry does if a worst case scenario occurs?
Let's say for instance the Cavs lose two important players to injury, like Williams and Varejao. then let's say Shaq falls way off because he doesn't have the Phoenix medical squad around and because age has caught up to him. Let's say that Lebron doesn't like losing and gets obnoxious and suddenly players are giving up on the team. If come the trade deadline, the Cavs are hovering below .500, a couple of regulars are untradeable because they are hurt, Shaq is looking like it's time to retire and the playoffs look like a dream, one wonders if Lebron goes on the market?
Could Cavs ownership and management really think that if this team lays a stink bomb that there would be any reason whatsoever for lebron to return to Cleveland? Would they move him and what could they expect to get? Would they trade him to a Western conference team only or would they trade him to anyone, including an eastern rival?
If the Cavs stink this year, I just can't see how they could ever think to not trade Lebron as I would believe that there would be no way of the King returning and then the Cavs get nothing in return for him.
What do you think?
