That's just been Davis' issue, he can be a top 5-10 PG one week or 3, and be bad the next. Just inconsistent. As for Jamario Moon and Delonte West, they were just replaceable bench guys. I mean, They're essentially the same guys as Samardo Samuels, Christian Eyenga, and Manny Harris. The Cavs need to get rid of guys like Boobie "I practice with Channing Frye in the offseason" Gibson. Seriously, that guy just chucks up threes with no regard for shooting percentage.

Delonte West is definitely not on the same level as Samardo Samuels, Christian Eyenga, and Manny Harris. He's an above average defender, pretty consistent shooter from mid-range and streaky shooter from three. Plus, good teams actually want him, which you probably couldn't say about Samuels, Eyenga, and Harris.

No love for the '96 Raptors? ANYTHING to get the dino jerseys in the game!

The Cavs weren't worst of all time bad, they still had good wins over the Lakers and Celtics if I remember correctly.

Just looked at their schedule, they did manage to beat a few playoff teams - Celtics, Lakers, Sixers (x2), Grizzlies, Knicks (x3), and the mighty Heat. Record-wise they weren't even the worse team last year (T'Wolves), though they might have the weaker roster. But the fact that they didn't even finish w the worse record in a season pretty much kills any argument for them as the worse team of all time IMO.

I would live to see the 98-99 knicks that lost to the spurs in the finals.....Camby, Ewing, Allan Houston, Spree, Ward and Childs, Kurt the hurt thomas.....my favorite squad ever.

Question is how much would you have to pay players to be a part of the "worst" teams of all times

No.

If you read it, you'd see that I was saying Cleveland would not get 40 wins with their current squad without LeBron.

Wow, self- reading comprehension FTL. But again, we were around .500 when healthy so I wouldn't exactly say 40 wins is impossible.
