Cavs interested in Warrick
http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/60900/20090731/cavs_offering_warrick_$2m_biannual_exception/
The Cavaliers are offering free agent forward Hakim Warrick their biannual exception, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
League sources claim that Cleveland has an offer on the table for Warrick and that they are hoping for an answer within the next few days.
The biannual exception is worth just under $2 million, and the Cavaliers are believed to be offering a player option for the 2010-11 season as well.
If Warrick rejects the offer, Cleveland could turn to veteran Joe Smith.

They would be getting a steal for under $2 million - he isn't a great player, but he is consistent...and he can put up decent numbers...plus, under $2 million for anyone is a steal now-a-days.
Maybe this would offset the horrific Varejao signing...lol

Hopefully they can pick him up and trade Wally and Andy for a big name Power Forward and have Warrick be the sixth man.

We can't trade Wally, he isn't on the Cavs anymore. And Ferry won't trade Varejao, his pride and joy.

I hear that. He would be cheaper than most of the guys coming off the bench last year, and he would probably be more productive.

Oh, Wally is an UFA now? I didn't realize that...

I don't know if he is restricted or unrestricted, but I know that the Cavs are not interested in the least bit. They now have Parker and Moon, there really is no room for Wally. Unless Wally is willing to take an extreme pay-cut and is happy with being buried on the bench, he isn't going to stay with the Cavs. I know that Charlotte has talked to Wally, but apparently they haven't shown serious interest.

Wally could go to Boston for the veteran's minimum...maybe being reunited with KG would give him the desire to play well again! Pure speculation on my part though.

All he is good for is giving out high-fives and butt-smacks. No matter how badly we are losing...he is always the first one off the bench to high-five everyone and smack their butts. And he made like what? 13 million last year?

Warrick has signed with the Bucks.
Warrick agrees to join Bucks
By Charles F. Gardner of the Journal Sentinel
July 31, 2009 10:51 a.m.
Hakim Warrick, a 6-foot-9 forward who played the past four seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies, has reached agreement with the Bucks on a one-year deal, sources indicated Friday.
Warrick averaged 11.6 points and 5.0 rebounds while appearing in all 82 games for the Grizzlies last season, primarily in a bench role.
The Grizzlies withdrew their qualifying offer to Warrick last week, making him an unrestricted free agent. A number of teams showed interest in Warrick, including the Cleveland Cavaliers, Philadelphia 76ers and Charlotte Bobcats.
Warrick is able to play both the small forward and power forward positions and should have an opportunity to start for the Bucks, who have lost Richard Jefferson (in a trade) and Charlie Villanueva (to free agency) this summer.
The former Syracuse star joins Amir Johnson and Ersan Ilyasova at the power forward position. The Bucks also have second-year players Joe Alexander and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, who can play both forward spots.
Warrick was the 19th overall pick by the Grizzlies in the 2005 draft after starring at Syracuse. He has played in 307 NBA games, including 82 starts, and has averaged 10.2 points and 4.3 rebounds.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported the Cavaliers had made an offer to a free agent forward, thought to be Warrick, with the team's biannual exception of $2 million.
The Bucks also are expected to complete a trade with Denver, one first reported last week. Milwaukee will send veteran power forward Malik Allen to the Nuggets in exchange for guard Sonny Weems and forward Walter Sharpe.
The trade is primarily to clear a roster spot and should result in a savings of about $500,000 for the Bucks.
Meanwhile, the New York Knicks are reported to be readying an offer sheet to Ramon Sessions, the Bucks' restricted free agent point guard.
The Knicks have weighed several options at point guard, including veteran Allen Iverson and unrestricted free agent Jamaal Tinsley. Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni is said to prefer Sessions, however.
