Still, I will explain what I meant by undesirable. I certainly didn’t mean to indict Ira’s character off the court or his abilities to contribute in specific roles on the court.

What I really meant in terms of being undesirable is that he doesn’t have a big enough contract or enough market value to be the cornerstone of a deal like what we have seen so far with Shaq and Pau Gasol. I do think Ira could be a part of a smaller deal, but at the same time I stand by my opinion that Danny Ferry is relatively handcuffed by the contracts, and players on the Cavaliers roster.

But for Cavs fans’ and Ira’s sake, I hope he gets the opportunity to go play some meaningful minutes somewhere else sometime soon. I like Ira, but I suspect he will end up back on the bench as soon as Daniel Gibson, Pavlovic and others regain their health.
