Dwyane Wade doesn’t believe it’s possible for LeBron James to surpass Michael Jordan’s legacy, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com passes along. “The only thing you can do is tie it,” Wade said. “You can’t go past it. How can you? That’s as great as it gets, man. The only thing you can do, like I said, is be A-1, A-B. There’s no way higher.” Wade added that he and James have never discussed the legacy comparison.
Here’s more from Cleveland:
- The Cavs needs to improve their backup point guard position in order to give themselves a better shot at repeating as champs, Kevin Pelton of ESPN.com opines. Kay Felder and DeAndre Liggins are currently backing up Kyrie Irving.
- With the Cavs in need of point guard depth, Norris Cole could be an option, Joe Vardon of Northeast Ohio Media Group speculates. The Cavs like Felder, but they are hesitant to give the rookie a major role too soon, which could open up the door for Cole. Vardon also names Mario Chalmers as a possibility.
- Tristan Thompson will miss the next two preseason games because of a sore left foot, freelance journalist Chris Haynes reports. Thompson has played in 370 straight regular season games, which currently leads the league.
What happens to Mo Williams salary for 16/17 now that he has retired?? I haven’t heard anything about a buyout agreement.
Good question. This is my guess only. B/c the cavs didn’t denounce or turn down MO’s option at the deadline, they are still having to account for this on this years cap. Guess only!
Williams’ salary is guaranteed, so it will likely stay on Cleveland’s cap. It’s possible that the Cavs will try to work out a buyout agreement to reduce his cap hit a little, but there have been no reports yet of anything like that happening.
Deandre liggins is not a point guard . He can defend that’s it . Toney Douglas proven last year he played 61 games , average 9 points , 3 assist can defend and shoot . TD just got to Cleveland but I’m hoping the more he is their in Cleveland the more they let him play .
Whatever happen to shabazz Napier?
He’s the blazers back up point guard
