OK, I thought he would be going to Europe but maybe he wants a NBA Championship.

The haters are going to laugh at this statement and try to hurt my feelings.
I guess if we can only sign him I guess get him. I'd personally rather have Matt Barnes or Josh Childress, but seeing as we just overpaid for Varejao I guess this is going to have to do.

Anyone who discounts the possibility of the Cavs winning a title are ridiculous. I don't think they are favorites, but they are certainly in the top 5 at worst. :confusedshrug:

I have lower expectation for Anthony Parker.

I'm sure some people will pick the Lakers, Celtics, Spurs, Magic and Denver ahead of them.

And there will be people to pick the Cavs to win it all as well. What is your point?

Re: Cavaliers Expected To Sign Anthony Parker
Trying to figure out what problems Anthony Parker solves for us. I guess he helps with our issue of having a small back court. I wouldn't say he's a great scorer or distributor though. Will he be able to increase the Cavs offensive production and our backcourt defense? :ohwell: shrug.

He's the perfect role player and glue guy. Always knows what to say good veteran presence, plays decent defence and can handle both the PG and SG he will suprise you guys. He was the one player could count on when he was with the Raps. Good luck Parker!

Haha Cavs fans must be PISSED.
They wanted Ron Artest, Trevor Ariza, McDyess, Rasheed... they get a resigned Varejao and Anthony Parker. What a letdown.
Re: Cavaliers Expected To Sign Anthony Parker
I think Anthony Parker is a nice consolation prize. He wouldn't come as expensive as a few big names but he would still fill the Cavaliers' need as a defensive stopper and an occasional scorer from the perimeter. The East is going to be really interesting.

not really. Parker is just underrated. We really did want Artest, Ariza, or Dice though. Ferry didnt even go after Sheed though. i guess he has other plans. Channing Frye maybe??? :confusedshrug:
Re: Cavaliers Expected To Sign Anthony Parker
hes pretty good but also 35 years old. He'd be an excellent backup-but they need a Ronnie Brewer type SG to start-young long and athletic and willing to work on D.

Bandwagon fans? Sure they're pissed. True Cleveland fans who have had letdown after letdown? It's nothing new to them.
