Re: ESPN rumor

I agree Knight wouldn't fill our need for size at the point, but I really like
his game. He is a push-it-up type and speedy enough to make the press work. He
would certainly be an upgrade over Overton, and over Dana for that matter. He's
young, so he could be an ideal caddy for Kenny and eventually step into the
starting role. Put it this way, I like him a whole hell of a lot better than
Alvin Williams, who is unproven. He has a better than 3:1 assist:turnover
ratio. We may not do any better than that for Fortson, as we have set the bar
so low with the aborted Williams trade. One last note, the Cavs desperately
need size.

(Mark, what about the comment about his salary? He is in his 3rd year, so he is
probably winding down his rookie contract. No?)
