ahh..

and we're back..sorry been out of town and in training for work. 

luckily it's been a quiet week for Cavs as the only true news is the announcement of our season schedule, which states we are playing 32 games on TV (ESPN 10 times, TNT eight times, ABC five times and NBA TV nine times).  We open the season on Nov. 2 vs the Hornets at the logoless Quicken Loans Arena.

In terms of our free agent acquisitions, it seems we are waiting until next week's amnesty deadline.  It seems Damon Jones is also waiting as nothing has been reported on his signing and that the Heat won't make any decisions until after Aug. 15.  But the question is..will we wait for Damon or keep on the pursuit?

The Cavaliers are hoping to schedule visits this week for free-agent point guards Dan Dickau, Steve Blake, and Jannero Pargo.  Pargo and Blake are restricted while Dickau is an unrestricted free agent.  With insanely sick college baller Chris Paul playing for the Hornets this fall, Dickau def won't see too much time.  Same story with Pargo as Chris Duhon should start at PG for the Bulls.  And the Wizards..well they have a full team of PG's so basically all 3 of these guys are options, but the goal is Jones. 

But as the ABJ states, if the Cavaliers end up with one of these 3 players, Snow would most likely start.  Cavaliers coach Mike Brown is expected to give Snow a chance to win the starting job in training camp no matter which point guard is signed.

One side note:  it seems ESPN soon might have a rival (in the TV market at least), which still doesn't affect their reporting, but hey it's a start.
