NBA


The Dallas Mavericks have added depth to their roster by signing veteran forward Rashard Lewis to a one year deal.  The Lewis addition is yet another key move by the Mav's front office to try and get back into the NBA Championship fold.  Lewis lead the Orlando Magic to their second NBA Finals appearance in 2009.  The Mav's roster is a blend of young and old players.  This move adds veteran leadership as well as another sharpshooter off the bench.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have agreed to terms with veteran forward Mike Miller.  Miller was a teammate of LeBron James during his first championship in 2012.  The Cav's have a young team.  Miller's presence is valuable in what Cleveland is trying to accomplish.  The Eastern Conference has no dominant team, Cleveland has as good a shot as any team to go to the NBA Finals.

Cleveland has thrown Andre Wiggins name in trade offers to acquire Kevin Love.  Even after the news of LeBron returning, the Cav's appeared adamant about holding on to their number one selection. Now that Love has shown interest in forming a trio with LeBron, Kyrie Irving and signing an extension, the trade talks have become more flexible.  Love averaged 26 points and 12 rebounds a contest last season.  He's proven he is the real deal.  Wiggins is a work in progress.  If letting him go is what it takes to bring Love to town, the Cav's need to pull the trigger.
