  1. Cavaliers Sign Free Agent Ira Newble

    Associated Press

    CLEVELAND - Forward Ira Newble signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday, providing much-needed depth to the team's frontcourt.

    Newble, who spent the past two seasons with the Atlanta Hawks, became the Cavaliers' second free-agent signing. Point guard Kevin Ollie signed last week and will help work with top draft pick LeBron James.

    The players split the team's $4.9 million salary cap exception for veterans, team spokesman Tad Carper said.

    "Signing Ira Newble takes our plan another step forward," Cavs general manager Jim Paxson said. "He's a big, strong veteran player that will play an important role for us this season."

    Newble will likely back up Darius Miles at small forward. He started 80 of his 115 games the past two seasons with Atlanta and averaged 7.7 points and 3.7 rebounds with a .495 field-goal percentage in 2002-03.

  2. You guys can have Bosh!

    I don't know why we picked him. The boy needs to gain some weight, plus, we don't even know what position he would play on Toronto yet. I know Toronto was debating between T.J Ford and Chris Bosh. We should've picked Ford!

    And I don't know why Vince would like Bosh. Bosh seems like he needs some work before putting him out in the starting line.

  3. Whoa, what's with all the hate all of a sudden?

    So what if I'm a fan of Ira, I'm no stalker. lol

    I'm a Hawks fan too, I've always known they were a good team and Ira is only part of the reason why I like the team. Even if he does leave, I will still like watching Atlanta games and watching the team grow.

    I'm from Toronto, CANADA and I've realized the talent the Hawks have. It's not like I'm from Atlanta and I feel like I should like the Hawks because they're my hometeam. I've realized the talent the team has without even being in the same country as you guys.

    I've been on this board for almost two weeks now and haven't even posted that often. Now y'all are hating on me? Maybe I'll just forget about this [censored] board. I've been nothing but nice to everyone on here and if I can't receive respect back then to [censored] with you.

    Thank you to everyone who has been nice to me. But I think I'm gonna sign off.

    Being a part of this board doesn't make me a bigger fan if I have to stand up for my reasons for liking Ira and the Hawks.

    Whatever.

  4. "Actually, Ira may have interest in Toronto. As funny as that sounds. You may know this already, but he's from Detroit, which is not too far from Toronto. Their team is not any worse off or any better off than ATL. I still think he'll be here after it's all over... "

    Hmmm, that's interesting. I was thinking Ira may try to go to Detroit but I would LOVE if he came to Toronto.

    I think Alvin Williams may be a good trade for Ira too. It's a tossup between Alvin Williams and Rafer Alston.

  5. Not Ira! frown.gif

    He did a lot for Atlanta this year! I'm from Toronto and I even noticed that. I hope he stays...and if not, hopefully Toronto can pull some strings and bring him here. wink.gif

  6. Yeah, I'm a Toronto fan.

    I noticed Ira when Atlanta played in Toronto.

    Honestly, (considering I'm a female) when I first saw him I just thought he was hot. lol

    But once I got into watching him play I realized he's a really good defender with lots of potential. I expect big things from the "Newble-izer" wink.gif

    Anyways, I really want to find out more about him. And considering I live in Canada I have nothing but the web.

    Does anyone else know?

    Also, do they sell Newble jerseys in ATL?
