Cleveland Will Speak To Dickau This Summer

Dan Dickau will be a free-agent this summer and with the odds increasing that the Cavaliers will not resign Jeff McInnis, he may be an attractive option for the club.

Dickau appears to agree.

"Of course I would," Dickau said when asked about joining Cleveland. "They're an up-and-coming team and they have the best young player in the league. Playing alongside LeBron [James] would be a lot of fun because he's such an unselfish player. That would help me continue to grow as a player."

With the Hornets he's averaging 13.5 points and 4.7 assists. Dickau has led or tied for team game-scoring honors 16 times.

"All he needed was a chance," said Luke Jackson, who worked out with Dickau during summers in the Northwest. "He works hard and he puts in the time. His game speaks for itself because he can shoot and he's like a fly out on the court. He's hard to catch."

James Goes For 40+ For The Third Time This Season

The struggling Cavaliers nearly avoided a loss to New Orleans last night rallying from 17 down in the fourth quarter to go on and win the game in overtime, ending the clubs 11-game losing streak. Despite a sore ankle, LeBron “King” James finished with 44 points, going for over 40 for the third time this season.

``My ankle is hurting like hell, but my team needed me tonight and I couldn't see myself sitting on the bench,'' James said. ``We just had to find a way.''

New Orleans looked great, however, as has been the story for most of their season, they just didn’t have enough to pull off the win. Dan Dickau, the leading candidate for this year's 'Most Improved Award' saw his game-winning layin bounce harmlessly off the rim as time expired.
