Five years? For Kevin Ollie? And i thought the Cavs were going the right way.
Hopefully, this will change. Five years. Kevin Ollie should be no more than a 2 or 3-year contract player
Cleveland Cavaliers
Kevin Ollie from Seattle for five years and $15 million.

They should of used that money to sign a better point guard (Tyronn Lue or Speedy Claxton).

SWEEEEET!!!
Kevin Ollie is a decent player, just coz he aint flash and a big numbered player no-one relises.
he has the best assist-turnover ratio thingy, and ever since i seen him play in philly, i was hopin either cavs or lakers would get him.

Yeah, Ollie is an adequate backup, much better than Milt Palacio and Tierre Brown... He also led the league in assists per turnover ratio...

ollie is a good backup but i think he signed with cavs cause he wanted to play with lebron...he wont get many minutes because dajuan wagner and lebron! (if lebron plays pg but if he dont ollie may get 12-16 mpg)

But that's the purpose... Do you wanna see him getting more than 20, 25 minutes per game? Go to another galaxy... 
I think the signing of Ollie shows us two things:
1) Cavs are gonna start LeBron and DaJuan on the backcourt... DaJuan being the SG... And they gonna do like the 76ers, putting Snow to defend the SG... so LeBron, the PG, will defend the SGs...
2) LeBron is gonna get much more floor time than DaJuan... I think the Cavs are gonna to try play Ollie and LeBron at the same time... LeBron sliding to SG, to exploit the mismatches.

no i didnt mean this,i ment that he may get fewer minutes than 12-16 and he deserves these minutes but not more!

anyone remember wagner's injury and if it's serious one (like torn acl)?
Thu Jul 17, 2003 7:40 am
Nah, I dunno, it isn't serious... Wagner played in that Boston game LeBron scored 25 points and had 9 assists...
Thu Jul 17, 2003 12:02 pm
Ollie is very underated, he is good enough to start if Wagner is still not ready. 
Thu Jul 17, 2003 10:11 pm
agreed, he can give you a decent 10-14 points and 6 assists
Thu Jul 17, 2003 10:19 pm
yeah but doesn't anyone think that 5 years is a little lengthy? He'll be 35 by the time his contract expires. If he's insurance for Wagner or LeBron becoming busts, then he should only be given 2 or 3 years before they find a better alternative.
p.s. 10th different team of Kevin Ollie's career. And he's made two stops on different occasions in Orlando and Philly. Just another useless fact there.
