Cavs Will Rest LeBron James Again

There is rest for the weary after all -- at least in the NBA.

Mike Brown said LeBron James will not play in Monday night's game against San Antonio. For the second game in a row, the reigning MVP will rest.

"The doctors aren't even involved in this ... " Brown said Monday after the team's shootaround. "I think this is an opportune time for him to get some rest with the amount of days we have in-between games."

James has been...

Surprise, Surprise: Ilgauskas Prefers Cavs

The Republicans and Democrats are squabbling, daylight savings time is arriving ... and Zydrunas Ilgauskas will return to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Several media outlets in Cleveland reported Thursday night that Ilgauskas' agent, Herb Rudoy, had e-mailed to say Ilgauskas had decided to return to the Cavs.

"It is Zydrunas' desire to return to the Cavaliers if a suitable contract can be agreed upon," Rudoy said in an e-mail to the Cleveland media.

That's...

In Cleveland, It's LeBron or Nothing

If New York tries to wrangle LeBron James this July and fails, the Knicks can go after any one of a number of other NBA stars expected to be free agents.

If Cleveland fails in keeping LeBron, though? It's just about completely screwed ... in terms of the free agent market, that is.

While Miami, hoping to keep a star free agent of its own, has scheduled cap space in excess of Dwyane Wade's projected salary, Cleveland does not. By trading the expiring contract of...

NBA Won't Block Ilgauskas From Returning to Cleveland

The NBA will not block a potential Cleveland homecoming for Zydrunas Ilgauskas if he's able to successfully negotiate a buyout with the Washington Wizards, a league official has informed the Associated Press.

Under current rules, a player who is traded and subsequently released or bought out is allowed to sign with another team immediately or return to his original team after sitting out for 30 days -- provided that a return to his original team was...

Jamison Proves Worth for Cavs in Loss

ORLANDO -- It's hard to find much good in a third consecutive loss -- the longest losing streak in almost two years -- but the Cleveland Cavaliers discovered quickly just how valuable Antawn Jamison is going to be at playoff time.

Jamison, obtained from Washington last week to give LeBron James a real sidekick, didn't start in Sunday's game. Yet he started the second half and had eight points, three rebounds and a blocked shot in the first 1:39 before the Orlando Magic wisely called...

Cavaliers Confident After Jamison Trade

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- Trades during the middle of an NBA season can be a gamble.

Especially when the team making the move has the league's best record.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, though, are steadfast that the addition of Antawn Jamison to a 43-11 team will not be difficult.

"I think the transition can be somewhat seamless," GM Danny Ferry said at a late morning news conference. "We were going to have our ups and downs if we did nothing....

Cavs' Ferry Hits Home Run with Jamison Trade

Danny Ferry finally did it.

After four seasons of toying with package deals of mediocre support, the Cavs pulled the trigger on acquiring a legitimate top-flight player to pair with the King. Though names like Wally Szczerbiak, Ben Wallace, and Delonte West are all considerable talents who have done good work for the Cavs, they're not the player the Cavs needed to put them in position for a title. The Cavs needed, more than ever this season, to show LeBron James they were willing...

Michael Lee of The Washington Post first reported that Jamison was headed to Cleveland.Then Adrian Wojnarowski blew the whole thing wide open: "Cleveland, Washington and the Clippers have completed a three-team trade, sources tell Y!

Cavs Foolish to Pursue Stoudemire

Memories sure can be short sometimes.

Shaquille O'Neal and Amare Stoudemire together was a disaster in Phoenix, so why would Cleveland general manager Danny Ferry possibly think it would work in Cleveland? So they could jam together at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Don't do it, Danny Boy.

Ferry is a sharp young executive, so we'll assume he comes to his senses quickly. But if he delivers this deal, it might be the last move he makes in Cleveland because...

Shaq inside has made a big difference for Cavs

Shaquille O'Neal has made a difference on both ends of the floor for the Cavs.

Looking at their overall statistical profile, this year's Cleveland Cavaliers are very similar to last year's. They play at the sixth slowest pace in the league, they rank in the top five both offensively and defensively, and they're tops in point differential.

But the way the Cavs are scoring and defending is very different this season. While Shaquille O'Neal, with Mo...
