We need a post. We need a backup Point. We need Manu to stay healthy all year (a virtual impossibility with the way he throws himself about at his age). We need Duncan's knees to stay healthy. We need Parker to be as good as he was this season. We are old. And we dont play good D anymore. It helps getting Jefferson. But it does not make us contenders with the Lakers.

I feel Shaq will disappear in Cleveland. He is getting older and injuries will be the end of him soon.

If he matches that, keeping ilguaskas would be in essence paying 10 million dollars for a guy you hope will play 18 minutes a game. If Cleveland can unload that salary, they will. The problem is, no one will take it.

The first rule of defense is to stop the ball. If Lebron is driving to the hole, defenders must converge to stop the ball. If he has beaten his man and two guys converage, that leaves two guys to cover four. If the offense is spaced properly, a spot up jump shooter will have an eternity to shoot. This is basketball 101. Taking it a step further, defenses concede certain shots and parts of the floor to a player. The better the player, the fewer things can be conceded and the more stress it puts on the defense and the rotation. When jordan played, Detroit actually set up the famed "jordan rules" designed to specifically stop HIM. If that was the case, weren't his teammates getting cleaner looks than if he wasnt on the floor? This is basic stuff. I am actually surprised that we are even discussing this. Its even dumber than going over the merits of delonte west.

Cleveland just brought in Chinese money, they aren't worried about the cap this year especially with Shaq's 20 mill coming off the cap next year.

The "Jordan rules" were to knock Jordan down and play overly physical with him to discourage him from driving. That had zero to do with open teammates. The better the player the MORE things are conceded. teams know that the great players are going to get their points. Most NBA teams WANT Kobe to shoot more and get his teammates out of the flow of the game. Are Kobe, Wade and LeBron the only players in the NBA to drive to the basket and create open shots? Shouldn't teams with great distributors at the point say the same thing? Cant you say that bad teams should shoot better because the opponents aren't playing as hard against them? In the end guys make or miss three pointers because of thier own abilities and health situation. Teams dont commit more players to "cover" great players unless it is a case like the year SA played Cleveland in the finals and they simply dared the rest of the Cavs to beat them by picket fencing against LeBron on the wings. The theory that a player should shoot a better three point % because they are on the same court with a great player is absurd.
