Cavs sources are disputing Chris Broussard’s ESPN report that Waiters essentially encouraged both Chris Grant and Mike Brown to explore trading him. Further, the team privately insists they haven’t made any calls offering Waiters to other teams. They have fielded calls on a number of young players, including Waiters, but have not offered him up to anyone.

What $90m of luxury tax looks like... 3/23 between 4 of your 5 starters. 4 assists between all 5 starters. 9 rebounds. 3 steals. 2 blocks and not a single 3ptm between all 5 starters.
Compare the entire starting 5 to 1 game from Anthony Davis today:
BRK: 23pts 9 rebs, 4 ast, 3 stl, 2 blk.
DAVIS: 22pts 10 reb 3 ast 2 stl 4blk.
The cavs are definitely the biggest disappointment thus far, they need to make a trade because something is eating away at that team, it's either a player or two or the coach. No way should they be in the lottery this year.
Vincent Goodwill: Billups on Kobe's deal: "It’s bigger than that with Kobe. He’s the reason they sell out every game. Those tickets are worth a lot of money. Even on the road they sell out for Kobe. They have the No. 1 merchandise in the league. It’s not just ball for those 2 hrs." Twitter @vgoodwill - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm#sthash.8q7qnF5S.dpuf
I don't think they should get rid of Rondo. It doesn't seem like they're even tanking for a top pick right now which is baffling.
Why trade Rondo for a nice piece though? Crawford is not gonna win you anything. Rondo might. Sully looks legit. Green we all know is. They get a legit 2 or 5 and they could do very well with a couple more tweaks.
