    Belinelli cant play the 4 though and Joe can. Belinelli is very redundant. He’s a smaller Gerald green with less athleticism but probably a smoother shot historically

    Joe ain’t coming either way when will you guys realize Cyberx is a fraud?

    We got our guy in Wright and our team is set.

    Why we talking about Cyberx... not like he's the only person saying this. Joe literally wants playing time that's just facts. Morey, Dantoni, Rockets players, and agents already know this. Rockets will sign him if they want him.

    Because he is the “insider” that started this thread...
    And there are no minutes to be had on our roster.

    I’ve been saying this since training camp, MDA is not going to play 10 or 11 guys it’s just not what he does... he plays 9 guys 24+ Minutes each.

    And no the Rockets are not going into the luxury tax to sign a 40 year old Joe Johnson.

    So you don't believe pretty much every media outlet that has stated there is mutual interest on both sides? That both parties are waiting on the buyout, so he can sign with us? That cyberx reported this long before even the great well informed nba David Aldridge? The fact that Joe used to play for mda and that mda would have a problem opening up minutes for him? Cause all that built trust from the past playoff experiences together don't mean anything right?

    Yeah.... I see your point....:confused:o_O:confused:o_O

    Problem with Cavs is the team is not secure enough for a veteran of Joe Johnson's caliber to deal with the "so much extra" stuff going on there within the organization.

    I just think about the buff of warriors, okc , spurs and Celtics. It is worth to spend money to put them as DNP or in the bench. Give less weapons to others and then beat them.

    Joe Johnson is more insurance on the bench when guys have an off shooting night or the team needs another ball handler/guy who can create off the dribble/go one on one/hit a open shot or clutch shot ect... he will be used to play most of Anderson's minutes and even in small ball lineups. Anderson would still get playing time but he would be more limited to get Joe consistent time.
