		<description>The cap was set at $58.68 million last season, and is expected to drop next season. I think we&#039;ll see it dip below $57 million with the luxury tax threshold at about $69 million.

I&#039;m not a salary capologist by any stretch of the imagination, but I don&#039;t think there&#039;s any way the Cavaliers can make a run at Turkoglu this summer.

A sign and trade is always a possibility, but the Cavaliers have few trade assets.

$10 million sounds a little steep anyway. Turk is probably worth $7-8 million per year.

I&#039;ll probably put something together on the Shaq trade this weekend. He&#039;ll put up points, but he won&#039;t be a difference-maker on the defensive end. 

Point guards are a dime a dozen? Then why don&#039;t the Cavaliers have one? 

I kid. 

Mo Williams exceeded many of my expectations last season, but the Cavaliers would benefit from a pure point like Jason Kidd, especially late in games when their offense comes to a grinding halt. A floor leader like Kidd would get the Cavaliers into their sets, and deliver the ball to James in scoring position. That&#039;s pretty invaluable in the playoffs. Or, you know, Mike Brown could just continue to put the ball in LeBron&#039;s hands at the top of the key and watch as he dribbles away the shot clock.

I think LeBron and Shaq could convince Kidd to sign for the mid-level exception. Should be interesting.</description>

		<description>if you look at the salaries at hoops hype right now, the cavs are at $73 million currently. What&#039;s the cap going to be next year?

off the books wally = $13 million, snow =$7.3 million.

why can&#039;t the cavs offer Hedo $10 mil per year?

J-Kidd?

you think Shaq&#039;s career is over?

point guards are a DIME a dozen my friend.

big men, not so much.</description>

		<description>Ya&#039; think? 

I don&#039;t think they have the cap space to sign Hedo.

How about J-Kidd?</description>
