Dallas Mavericks center Andrew Bogut (6) of Australia handles the. Bogut is passing up a far more lucrative situation with the Houston Rockets, who are well under the salary cap and reportedly could offer him as much as $3.5 million. The Cavaliers are trapped in luxury-tax territory and could grant only the minimum salary — prorated for this season, that would amount to about $407,000. But Bogut is a wealthy man. He’d like a second championship ring. The chance to play with James, and what now appears to be the league’s deepest roster, was an overriding factor — not to mention a bit of revenge, considering that Bogut was a ...

Andrew Bogut Reportedly Drawing Trade Interest From Celtics

... season and is averaging an unspectacular three points per game. However, he had four points and eight rebounds in a Wednesday loss to the Detroit Pistons in his first action since Jan. 29. Eddie Sefko of the Dallas Morning News noted, "Getting back on the court and playing solidly during his 17-plus minutes sends the message that any team that might have interest in Bogut and the last year of his contract before the trading deadline won't necessarily be getting damaged goods.". With the fact Bogut isn't damaged goods potentially accelerating a trade involving the Celtics, this approach makes sense on both fronts. Dallas could get some draft compensation that Cuban mentioned given the window to realistically compete this season appears over. It can begin a rebuilding process around draft picks and players like Harrison Barnes and even Seth Curry, especially if it can land a pick from Boston, who owns a 2017 first-round pick swap with the Brooklyn Nets , as well as their 2018 ...

Cleveland Cavaliers Lose Center For Season Video

... against the team that had given up on him. [Image by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images]. There are just 20 games left in the regular season and the Cavs are going to have to quickly regroup from this frustrating loss. The team does have a few days to recover from losing Bogut, with the next game coming on Thursday night (March 9) against the Detroit Pistons. The Cavs then have to play the Orlando Magic and Houston Rockets in back-to-back road games over the weekend. There are a lot of winnable games through the month of March, but the team then finishes with a three-game stretch against the Washington Wizards, San Antonio Spurs, and Chicago Bulls. Not having the size that Bogut could have provided is going to hurt the Cleveland Cavaliers on both ends of the court. There is nothing that the team can do but try to persevere it, though, as injuries have become a familiar tale for this team. Over the past three years, the Cavs have lost Kevin Love and Kyrie ...

Andrew Bogut Breaks Leg Less Than A Minute Into Cavs Debut

... DNP-CD (coaches decision). When the Celtics played the Clippers on Feb. 5 (Super Bowl Sunday), it was Pierce's last appearance in a game this season. For Pierce, that day will serve as the moment of closure for him and the franchise that he helped lead through some turbulent times before ultimately leading to an NBA title in 2008, with Pierce being named NBA Finals MVP. While the Inglewood, Calif., native loves being so close to home, his greatest feats as an NBA player occurred in Boston on the TD Garden floor. Which is why Monday's gesture by the Clippers, while nice, wasn't in the same class as the emotional tribute he received last month. "It was more about being in that arena and being in the Garden more so than playing against them," Pierce said prior to Monday's game. "That is a whole new team, new coach and everything. It's a different feel today than it was in Boston.". That's because while the Clippers remain the team he plays for currently, Boston will always be the home of The Truth. "We should have won this game," Thomas said following the loss. "We should have won last night [at Phoenix]. We can't be experimenting in Game 63.". When asked to elaborate, Thomas ...

Cavs Book Final Guest, Andrew Bogut, Checking How Mainsail Sets

... when Lue patchworked his way through a series of leaky bench rotations. With the arrival of Williams and Korver, Lue finally stumbled on something that worked, pairing them with Channing Frye, Richard Jefferson and Le Bron James. That pairing has outscored opponents by 35 points (per 100 possessions, aka p Cp). They don’t offensive rebound, but they’re solid on the defensive boards even with Frye. (The overall length of every being at least 6’8” undoubtedly contributes.). click to enlarge. What’s nice is that Lue is clearly aware. He’s used it for eight minutes in the five games he’s tried it, which is substantial. The lineup makes a lot of turnovers, but is shooting a ridiculous 75.8% EFG, akin to making three-quarters of your twos or half your threes, and notably has a 105.67. Only two lineups manage a faster pace – Irving/Jefferson/Korver/Love/Thompson and ...

Can Williams And Bogut Help Cavs Repeat

... fit with the rest of the roster. Let's take a look. Photo by Jason Miller/Getty Images. What Williams brings. ESPN's real plus-minus (RPM) provides a decent proxy for where Williams currently stands as a player now in his 12 th season. He has been above average offensively (0.83) and below average defensively (minus-1.29). For the first time since his rookie season, Williams grades out as a negative overall impact player with an RPM of minus-0.46, meaning he subtracts about a half-point per 100 possessions while on the floor. In a vacuum, RPM might suggest that Williams at this stage is not much of an addition. Editor's Picks. Andrew Bogut's Cleveland move officially announced. Andrew Bogut and the Cleveland Cavaliers have put pen to paper as the make the signing of the big man official. However, when looking at his position as a whole, Williams ranks 24 th among all point guards, which is better than Elfrid Payton (26 th), Tony Parker (34 th), Reggie Jackson (52 nd) and Matthew Dellavedova ...

Andrew Bogut's Horrific Leg Injury Is The Heart Of The Australian Experience

... force is ready to shove them back down into their place — but still the hope always remains that maybe, just maybe, it won’t happen this time. If the American Dream is the promise of prosperity and happiness out of nothing, the Australian dream is the expectation that life is a giant pile of bullshit you try to crawl out of knowing that someone’s waiting to push you back down. It’s the reason Australia’s unofficial national anthem is a song about a hungry man who committed suicide when he finally got something to eat. Andrew Bogut’s NBA career has been the furthest thing from failure. After all, he’s a former No.1 overall pick, an NBA Champion and he’s carved out a 13-year career for himself. But he’s also the expendable Australian who was sent to Dallas for cap space, which was unfair - but that’s business. When he ...

... $385,000 contract for the rest of the season, adding him to beef up their front court that is missing All-Star forward Kevin Love, who is still weeks away from returning from knee surgery. Bogut injured his left knee in Game 5 of the NBA Finals last year for Golden State and hurt his right knee in December while playing for Dallas. Before the game, Bogut was in a playful mood as he discussed his choice to join the Cavs. "It was a tough decision," Bogut said. "It came down to two teams, Boston and Cleveland, and I decided to go with Cleveland, obviously. It's the best opportunity to try to win a championship playing with one of the best, if not the best, players to play the game. It was a tough decision, in a way, because of the history but I can't control it. I got traded so I ended up having the luxury of having four or five teams recruit me, which is a nice thing to have. "But at the end of the day, I thought Cleveland was the best chance.". The Cavaliers are thrilled to have the former No. 1 overall pick, who gives them frontcourt depth, a rim protector ...
