Manny Harris Waived
2011-12-22
From Tom Reed at the Plain Dealer:
The Cavaliers released Harris and guard Kenny Hayes on Thursday, leaving the roster at 15 players. That means camp invitee Mychel Thompson will make the club assuming the Cavaliers don’t claim another player off waivers.
This one hurts. I was a big fan of Manny Harris despite the fact that he isn’t very good at basketball. In my mind, he was going to develop into a cross between Kevin Martin and Tyreke Evans. Yet, in reality, he’s probably a career end-of-the-bench bookend. Fare thee well, Manny. You’re in heaven now, looking overmatched against NBA competition with the angels.
Too bad for Manny. Hopefully he can get an opprotunity on another team.
Is it possible to wrangle David Lighty off of whatever european team he signed with? I feel like he could actually get a fair amount of burn at the 2 this season, and you can never have too many athletic, lock-down wing defenders.
