Cavaliers Sign Free Agent Demetris Nichols
Mon, Oct 29, 2007 By Tariq Ali
Nichols, 23, was originally selected by the Portland Trail Blazers with the 53rd overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft. He was then traded to the Knicks on draft day in exchange for a 2008 second round selection. He was waived by the Knicks on October 25.
He played in five preseason games for the New York Knicks and averaged 4.8 points on .571 (8-14) shooting including .667 (4-6) from three-point range in 7.8 minutes per game.
The Cavaliers waived forward Noel Felix who played in three preseason games for Cleveland.
The roster now stands at 15 player.
I STILL SAY GET RID OF DANNY FERRY. HE WAS A AVERAGE PLAYER AND HE HAS BEEN A LESS THAN AVERAGE GM.
THE TEAM THAT THE CAVS HAVE NOW WILL BE LUCKY TO WIN 35 GAMES. EVERYONE HAS GOTTEN BETTER EXCEPT THE CAVS, WHO ARE STANDING PAT AND REFUSING TO PAY 2 OF THEIR KEY PLAYERS. FERRY WAS SUPPOSE TO BRING IN THE SAN ANTONE TYPE OF GM APPROACH TO THE CAVS, INSTEAD HE HAS DONE NOTHING. IN THE NBA YOU HAVE TO SPEND SOME MONEY TO GET GOOD PLAYERS. THE 2 HOLDOUTS CONTRACTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF LONG AGO.
FERRY BROUGHT IN A STIFF LIKE DAMON JONES, WHO CAN’T DO ANYTHING BUT SHOOT AND DAVID WESLEY, WHO IS AT THE END OF HIS CARRER, THE MONEY THEY ARE BEING PAID SHOULD HAVE WENT TO ANDY.
FERRY DIDN’T TRY TO GET ANY FREE AGENTS, HE JUST SAT ON HIS HANDS AND LOOKED FOOLISH.
