Rumored Cavs trade

January 18, 2006 /

ESPN Insider is reporting that the Cavs might be interested in acquiring Boston center Mark Blount and point guard Marcus Banks in exchange for Drew Gooden and Damon Jones. Previous reports had Blount going to either Minnesota or Memphis but now the Cavs are apparently in the mix as well.

This deal doesn’t seem to make much sense. Blount is averaging 13.1 points and 4.4 rebounds this season. He has four more years and about $28 million left on the six-year, $40 million contract he signed with Boston. He’s not getting along with his coach, and it sounds like lack of rebounding is one of the problems.

Gooden is having a great season and his contract is up at the end of the season, making him attractive to many teams. The Cavs should be looking to got more for him if they decide to deal him.

Pluto puts Carthon in his place

January 17, 2006 /

Maurice Carthon made some stupid comments in New Orleans about how the Cleveland media criticized his play-calling, and how this was the same media that ran Bill Belichick out of town.

Terry Pluto decided to give Mr. Carthon a history lesson about what really happened with Belichick in Cleveland, and then went on to point out some of the serious shortcomings in Carthon’s performance this season as offensive coordinator. Great column.

Buckeye recruiting heats up

January 17, 2006 /

With the addition of Glenville offensive lineman Bryant Browning, Jim Tressel is getting a late recruiting surge that is helping to round out an excellent recruiting class.

Rivals.com is very high on recent recruit Robert Rose:

Nobody had a better U.S. Army All-America Bowl than Rose, a fast-riser from Cleveland’s Glenville High School. Rose, a strong and stout 6-foot-4 and 255-pounder, couldn’t be blocked in the game and his development late in the season during the Ohio state playoffs and then in the all-star game has been amazing.

He went from a sure fire top 250 national prospect to quite possibly the No. 2 player in Ohio and a five-star candidate.

They are still targeting some excellent prospoects:

There is little doubt that OSU is in a great position to also land in-state stud Thaddeus Gibson after an official visit this weekend. The battle to land the four-star player from Euclid, Ohio, is down to OSU, Tennessee and Michigan, but most sources agree it’s a two-team race between the Bucks and Vols.

Then there is City College of San Francisco four-star linebacker Larry Grant, who had originally planned on signing with Florida at mid-term but a math class kept him from heading to Gainesville.

He’s now in the final process of evaluating his options and it appears to be down to Texas A&M and Ohio State for him.

Should be interesting.

Cavs lose fourth straight

January 16, 2006 /

It was another close one, but the Cavs managed to lose again, falling 89-87 to Portland. They had plenty of chances at the end of the game but couldn’t capitalize. The last sequence was particularly frustrating, as Lebron passed on taking the last shot, only to have the ball end up in Eric Snow’s hands for a long jumper.
