Interview with Cleveland headcoach Mike Brown.

ESPN : Hey Mike! What would you like to say about today's game?
M. Brown : About first half, there's nothing to say, it was just and DISASTER and i don't want to talk about it.
ESPN : What about second half?
M. Brown : Second half was the way i want to see my team playing, they shooted very well, had a very good full-court press and they fighted for every ball.
ESPN : How do you comment on Steve Nash game?
M.Brown : It was hard to stop him today, it is always so hard to stop him. He is two time MVP. Well, we have an good PG too, Mo Williams. Let's hope he can play as good as Steve in this season!
ESPN : And what about LeBron?
M.Brown : He is our leader and his job is to score points. He did that today, but he had bad % on shooting.
ESPN : Thanks Mike, see you next game when Cavs are facing Draft Class 2001!
M.Brown : Bye!

Cavs looking to trade one of their big man!?

Press Conference

Sports Illustrated : Why are you looking for new big men?
Cavs GM : Our team needs young blood and we want to win championship this year, so we need center or power forward who can score.
ESPN : Who are you gonna trade? Big Ben or Big Z?
Cavs GM : I don't know yet, but one of them is going.
ESPN : Who are your main targets to get?
Cavs GM : LaMarcus Aldridge, Andrew Bynum, Al Jefferson and there's two or three player more but we don't tell you their names.
Sports Illustrated : But what about this rumour that you are going to trade Delonte West?
Cavs GM : Yes, this is true. Last season Delonte didn't show that game what we expect for him .. and last game against International All-Stars he tooked only 2 shots from the field and had 0 points. So, YES we are looking for new SG.
ESPN : Who are your main targets here?
Cavs GM : Uhh, we just decided few hours ago with Mike ( Brown ) that we need new SG. So we don't know yet.
Press Conference secretary : Is there more questions?
Silence ....
