I'm high on Duhon but there is no way the Bulls would let him go to Cleveland. A modest move worth considering is hiring a coach that's an offensive mastermind. While there are certainly problems with the players on roster, I think some of the issues the team has can be addressed through coaching instead of roster changes. Plus coaches' salaries don't count against the luxury tax. Ferry and Gilbert need to strong arm Brown into bring in a hired gun, at least for a season.

Stay away from Bibby. I think the Cavs need to start looking at more modest moves. Maybe a 2nd round pick for Anthony Johnson, a decent 15 minute a game PG in Atlanta now. Cj Miles is a restricted SG from Utah who I think has the potential to out-perform his likely contract. And I've always been intrigued by Pietrus although I am not sure Cleveland has the pieces for a Sign and Trade. I've heard the talk about Posey but I'm not sure that move makes the team better, esp because he will command 5 mill a year. He plays good D and can shoot the 3 but has very few basketball skills and doesn't move well without the ball. What's Ridnours deal in Seattle. He might not be bad for 25 minute a night. A more traditional PG then what Daniel Gibson brings for when Gibson is on the bench. I think Duhon is also worth a shot but I'm not sure why Chicago would want to help Cleveland. I'd stay away from Steve Francis. I think he is a SG and you already pay Hughes to do the same things (shoot poorly, be to small to defend other teams SGs, not look to pass first) Francis might have a comeback but I dont think Cleveland fits I agree.
