Here’s a lengthy feature on Kyrie Irving from Dime. It’s a good read if you’re interested in getting a sense of who Irving is on and off the court in more detail than the “good guy” sentiments espoused by Cavs management and Coach K can connote.
Christian Eyenga has been sent down to the Cavs’ D-League affiliate in Canton. This will be good for him. He needs minutes, and it seems he won’t log many as a Cavalier in the near future. I do, however, worry Eyenga’s never going to amount to much, which is a shame because he’s a mesmerizing athlete.
Samardo Samuels didn’t play last night in Toronto because he wasn’t with the team. He couldn’t travel into Canada due to the fact that he has misplaced his passport. We now know who to blame for having to watch Ryan Hollins attempt to play basketball for 17 minutes.
Also, we passed on DeJuan Blair, Sam Young, Chase Budinger, Marcus Thornton, and Jonas Jerebko. OUCH.
In order to take Eyenga.
Marcus thornton hurts the most. I love that guy
You couldn’t help but salivate of the potential of Chase Budinger involved in Byron Scott’s offense.
I took my first business loans when I was 20 and this aided my business a lot. Nevertheless, I need the small business loan again.
This was so brutal it actually made me smile:
“Now add in the history of Cleveland, a notoriously tortured sports town. They had LeBron, then lost LeBron. They had the Browns, then lost the Browns. They gave up The Drive, lost The Fumble, watched The Catch, allowed The Shot. They’ve haven’t won a major sports championship since 1964.
Does Cleveland really need a No. 1 pick that could draw early comparisons to Greg Oden? A rookie who is no bigger than Derek Fisher and came from a college with a reputation of churning out mediocre pros and is the NBA’s first No. 1 draft pick to experience an extended lockout right off the bat since Michael Olowokandi? And after feeling the (justified or not) sting of betrayal from LeBron, will Cleveland even be able to embrace Kyrie Irving if he does match the hype?”
