-- F J.J. Hickson put in a strong showing at the NBA Summer League. He averaged 19.4 points and 8.5 rebounds in five games. He's quick off his feet. He seems to be a player that's hard to put a body on to block out. But, remember, it's summer league. Let's see how he looks in training camp against Ben Wallace and Joe Smith.
--The Cavs had no committed salaries for the 2010-11 season until G Daniel Gibson signed last week. They are being very careful to keep their flexibility. All-Star LeBron James is expected to opt out of his contract after the 2009-10 season, and the Cavs are scheduled to have mega-millions to not only re-sign James, but to sign another superstar-type player. QUOTE TO NOTE: "He clearly has the talent and potential to be a very good NBA player. It reaffirms what our scouting staff saw in him." -- Cavs general manager Danny Ferry, on rookie J.J. Hickson at the NBA Summer League.
