"I just don't see how they pull anything off for a player like Joe Johnson or Chris Bosh. These are all star free agents, not aging guys with bad contracts." - hdawg
Cleveland was not on Chris Bosh's reported list of teams he'd accept a trade to, but what if LeBron James re-signed with the Cavs? LeBron James' statements to Larry King and upticks in the LeBron-O-Meter seem to have lifted Cavaliers fans' spirits about his chances of staying in Cleveland.
In fact, fans are now talking about possible sign-and-trade deals involving the Cavaliers and some of the other big name free agents that could help entice LeBron to stay.
However, cleveland.com reader hdawg says adding players like Chris Bosh or Joe Johnson is easier said than done.
I just don't see how they pull anything off for a player like Joe Johnson or Chris Bosh. These are all star free agents, not aging guys with bad contracts. Do you really think Toronto is going to accept Mo Williams, Boobie Gibson, and JJ Hickson for Chris Bosh? Or Andy Varejao and Jamison? It's just not going to happen. If Toronto really wants Bosh to have a max contract for leaving them, you can bet they're going to get some serious value, Cleveland doesn't have it.
Do you think LeBron James and Danny Ferry could sway a big-name free agent to Cleveland? Get in on the debate below.
