Nice post GM3! Him and Lebron on the floor at the same time must be a blast to watch.</p>

[Dark Defender]

I agree, it was a nice post

.</p>

Seriously though, I'm trying to find the link but I read that he has a serious chance at making the Cavs final roster.</p>

</p>

Glad I might be able to see Bron and Adams in the same uniform. To bad it's not a Nets one.</p>

 

[pegs]

YESS. This is great, I'm still a bit bitter for him getting kicked to the curb.</p>

I'm so glad he found a home...with the reigning Eastern Conference Champs. He could help them out there.</p>

 

[jarkid]

The Nets might get reget about this....</p>

I think thats a moot point. The decision was a business decision, not a basketball one.</p>

Adams got his chance at the last minute when the Cavs realized that neither Varejao nor Pavlovic would be in camp, essentially holding out for more money than the Cavs (or anyone else apparently) is willing to spend. The Cavs don't even list Varejao or Pavlovic or Adams for that matter on their roster! http://www.nba.com/cavaliers/roster.</p>

I don't see him making their roster unless they can get rid of someone like Damon Jones, which I guess is possible.</p>

 

[jarkid]

I hope Varejao and Pavlovic won't back to be a cav.</p>

</p>

Yeah, that'll make them an easier opponent.</p>

I hope Hassan makes the team, or any team for that matter (cept the spurs or pistons), I just wanna see him play in the NBA.</p>

Why is everyone so infatuated with this guy? He's a really good basketball player, but so are a bunch of other guys that never played in the league. There are only 450 jobs available in the NBA. He's not freakishly tall or a point guard. that makes him a marginal, dime-a-dozen guy.</p>

Is this the same Dumpy hat signed up for the Hassan Adams fan club on the other board? Some of us are still excited to see this guy succeed, don't know where we lost you. This is our guy to root for, much like Bobby Jones is yours.</p>

</p>

 

[Dumpy]

It's one thing to root for him; it's another to advocate that they cut other useful players to make room for him.</p>

 

[Master Shake]

The Cavs should just play Shannon Brown. He is way better, and just as athletic. But, Mike Brown is to dumb to open his eyes. Adams cannot creat for himself and dictate where he wants his defender to go. He doesn't have a consistent jumper, or real passing game. Shannon Brown, can do all these things.</p>

Aren't you passionate about Rod Benson getting signed?</p>

You won't hear me arguing in favor of cutting Josh Boone to make room, which is equivalent to cutting Antoine Wright for Adams.</p>

 

[jirohkanzaki]

i love adams but we have wright and b-rob who can fill that position and unfortunately, having a non-guaranteed contract made the decision about who to waive very easy...even if let's say adams is better than those 2 guys the talent difference won't be that much...</p>

 

[ly_yng]

I'd make a bet that at some point this year, Hassan accidently gets double teamed cause some marginal NBA player confuses him for LeBron.</p>

Seriously, was that picture a picture of Hassan, or of LBJ? I swear to god, I can't tell.</p>

EDIT: Ohhhhh, he's the one sitting down. Seriously though, they're like long lost brothers or something.</p>

I don't think so, since Boone has only had one year in the league, but that in and of itself is a moot point because he hasn't been a disappointment. I think it's a slightly different situation.</p>

I agree with you mostly, although I've only seen Brown play a few times. Last year when he got drafted, I expect him to play some at the point, where Lebron would handle the ball and Brown could play off of him. I thought he'd fit in good with this team...and I'm surprised Brown didn't.</p>

Then again, at times, Brown is the dumbest coach in the league (on offense, at least).</p>

I would venture to say that Robert Hite was just as impressive in the Nets three-quarter, 7 minutes a quarter, scrimmage as Hassan Adams was in whatever scrimmage Cleveland ran. And that was the comparison the Nets made after summer league. I dont know how many points Hite scored, but when the boxscore comes out, if it does, on njnets.com, I believe it will show a double figure effort in a 21 minute game.</p>

 

[pegs]

Hite seems like a good Hassan "replacement". I hope he makes the team.</p>

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

Hite was great in summer league, at the same level as Hassan.</p>
