Last rank: 4th
LEBRON JAMES WANTS SOME “PLAYMAKERS” ALREADY! You better be sure that the rant by James following the Cleveland Cavaliers’ fifth lost in their last seven games was done purposefully. You also better believe that owner Dan Gilbert is applying just as much, if not more, pressure on the front office exhausts all options in attempting to bringing one in. In case the team is having trouble finding the proper player to bring in for their final roster spot here’s some suggestions.
Quinn Cook (PG, Canton Charge): Cook has been absolutely lighting up the NBA Development League in his two seasons. He won Rookie of the Year last year and dropped 40 points in the recent D-League showcase in Mississauga. He’s played with the Cavaliers summer league team so he has a familiarity with the system.
Jarrett Jack (PG, free agent): Jack has been a solid backup in a couple of his stops during his NBA tenure. His ability to knife into the lane and be a threat on the perimeter bode well. However, at 33-years old the former Cavaliers guard might not have enough burst to get it done on a nightly basis.
Deron Williams (PG, Dallas Mavericks): Cleveland is sorely lacking in the asset department so it is very unlikely that they’ll be able to acquire Williams in a trade. However, if Dallas decides to throw in the towel and start buying out some of their veteran players Williams could easily end up on the open market. D-Will has reached that point where he is likely best off serving as a backup point guard or secondary point guard. Both of which he could surely do in Cleveland.
