Dan Gilbert Supports Mike Brown, Believes Cavaliers Will Be Aggressive At Trade Deadline
Feb 06, 2014 10:37 PM EST
Despite the Cleveland Cavaliers' firing of Chris Grant, Mike Brown's future appears stable at the moment, with Dan Gilbert supporting the head coach who is in the first year of a long-term contract.
"We’re going to see Mike Brown succeed this year,'' Gilbert said. "I think he will be able to do good things in the next 30 games or so. I think this team is going to be able to do good things. They’re going to look at each other, look in the mirror, and they’re going to rally. We’re going to do everything we can to give them the air cover they need.''
The Cavaliers own a 16-33 record into Friday night's game at Washington.
Gilbert expects the Cavaliers to be aggressive in this month's trade deadline.
"I think we’ll be aggressive at the trading deadline -- historically we have, anyway,'' Gilbert said. "I think we will and we potentially have a lot of opportunity there. We’re looking forward to working with David Griffin, and whatever it takes, 24 hours a day for the next two weeks. Hopefully we’ll find opportunities.''

any thoughts on who/what? Can't see them being that big of a player given the players they have?
Iriving - lots of value
Deng - Good value - but depends if he can be traded?
Varajo, waiters, thompson - some value
Dellavedova - Some value as a good performing rookie
Miles - little value
Bennett - Some value as #1 pick, but shown nothing so really no value
Zeller, Clark, Sims,Gee,Felix,Karasev - Little to no value
Draft picks they'll have could be valuable - (Already have given up their 2015 pick to bulls, unless 1-14)

Beast the other day, like 43 & 17 or something and not really a mention of it.
it's not as ugly as it used to be - he used to have this massive hitch at the top of his jump, like he was in 2 minds about actually letting the ball go. But yeah he still really flings it at the hoop, not a lot of arc happening. I'm sure he will get better, apparently he works really hard.
