I really think it'd help this team if LeBron went Kobe and decided to get to the hoop as much as possible
Mind you, I'm not talking about his 20 foot pull up jumpers, but when he wants to get to the rim and create he can, I just don't see why he doesn't try and get there every time down the floor

Look at the Lakers success (or overall lack-there-of) the past couple seasons and you'll have your answer.

Nice game, But i truly think Lebron has to be a more integral part of the offense.

The best thing I think that I have seen so far this season, is that LBJ wants to play on the defensive end...
If he can shut down the other teams best player late in the game, that is going to step our game up...

100% agreement. LBJ has been very good defensively this year. he has also realized that his play on the defensive end leads to a lot of good transition offense.
this team still has several holes:
-they lack a true #2 scorer. gibson is getting better, but isn't there yet, and sasha just hasn't shot the ball that well and still struggles to finish.
-they need another quality big man. drew gooden is a space cadet at times, donyell marshall is washed up. dwayne jones is a hard worker with minimal talent. cedric simmons has a high ceiling, but is very raw.
-overall bench depth. devin brown is scrappy, but isn't a good shooter. shooting is supposedly the only thing damon jones is good at, and he's had one good shooting game this year. |

NBA roundup: Late run by James leads Cavaliers
Saturday, November 10, 2007 4:03 AM
Associated Press
LeBron James rallied Cleveland with eight points in the final 2:57, and the Cavaliers hung on for a 93-91 victory over the host Sacramento Kings last night.
Devin Brown had 20 points and a career-high 11 rebounds for the Cavaliers, who treaded dangerously close to a loss until James scored eight of their final 10 points on the fourth stop of Cleveland's six-game road trip.

When/if a player signs a contract DURING the season... ala AV .. does he get the full contract amt or a pro-rated portion?

Pro-rated I believe. I would like to hear from someone with more knowledge on NBA contracts, but I think Varejao might have screwed himself out of being a FA next year with his holdout.
