Reports: Jamison to Cavs? (Confirmed)

[MMacOH]

The Cavs have already denied this rumor.

Jamison or Amare would greatly enhance this team. 

The reason Z's expiring deal is a better option to cash strapped teams than other expiring deals is because the majority of his salary for this year (I think about 75%) has already been paid, meaning a team taking on his $10 million salary will actually only owe about $2.5 million.

That is why Jermaine O'Neal's expiring contract in not near as appealing to the Suns as Z's

O'Neal is also paid so much that the Suns would have to send out more players. They don't want to do that unless its J-Rich.

Jamison can't guard KG. He is good player, but overrated in my book. He puts up big numbers on bad teams. Anyways, what about Miller? Is he available?

Are you talking about the KG of today or the KG of the past?

Re-tweeted by Adrian Wojo... details coming

Real GM is running with it.

deal is possibly a three-way with Drew Gooden being sent to a Western Conference team.

The Wizards will receive Zydrunas Ilgauskas and a 1st round pick, according to the source.

if this is true.. the wizards may have replaced the clippers as the worst organization in the NBA

Well, if it's true, now the Cavs are really legit for the championship this season... Jamison is a much better fit for them than Stoudeire. I still like our chances against Cleveland but it will be much tougher to beat them now that they have a real all-star to play alongside LeBron!

[StartOrien]

I actually think they made the right move by blowing it all up and starting from scratch. Don't like that they aided Cleveland, but if I'm a Wizards fan I'm OK with this trade (though probably would've hoped they'd take Miller)

according to realgm via the Washington post

Does this mean Amare to the Heat?

Like I said in the other thread :

I hoped the Cavs-Wizs "rivalry" would have prevented the Wizs from making this deal but... apparently it wasn't taken into consideration.

they needed to at least get hickson.. their seriously a disgrace of an organization right now in my opinion

[Lucky17]

Interesting.

What happens with Amare? Miami or bust, I imagine. Kerr's job just got harder.

[jdpapa3]

Whew. So glad they got Jamison and not Amare. Breathed a deep sigh of relief.

[Timdawgg]

Aw man, now where does Leon Powe fit in......LOL

I agree, Studz is a much scarier thought.... Here's to us getting him and J Rich now.
