Shablam!
And like that, the off-season has begun. Wall Street Danny, as I like to call him, has set off a domino effect that will reverberate through the alleys of Cleveland for months to come.
With this signing, the Cavs have signaled one of two things. One the one hand, Tarence Kinsey might just be here to replace Devin Brown on the cheap. On the other hand, Mike Brown seems like the kinda guy who would really like a guy like Devin Brown. This signing could be the first in a series.
They say the Cavs are looking J.R. Smith square in the eye while offering GM Mark Warkentien a hand job in a sign and trade. Or maybe that sign and trade - or another deal - involve some of the Cavs shorter-than-Lebron type players. Could be Sasha Pavlovic, who never found a groove after holding out then getting injured last season. Could be Damon Jones, who really should've defected to play for Team China next week. Could be that despite all indications of a slave well kept, the Cavs think they are losing Delonte West.
Since Danny Ferry doesn't know the language of the media, we won't know until it happens. What we do know is that Tarence Kinsey is a Cav. Talk about tremendous upside, the kid is only 24 and he's already 6'6" and a staggering 189 pounds! Nobody expects the world from him, but there is definitely room to grow. He's young enough not to peak for another 4 or 5 years, and check out what he's done in the past.
In case you missed it, go back and scroll on down to the end of the year. Fresh off turning 23, Kinsey started pouring it in. I realize the final game of the season between Memphis and Minnesota 2 years ago was basically a D+ League game, but 22, 9 and 7 on 69% shooting against people who are being paid to be there translates to any league. The kid can play, at least a little bit.
I know some of you were hoping for Baron Davis or Ron Artest, but Tarence Kinsey y'all! Get excited!
Go Cavs!

I like this signing. He's a bit of a project, but he's got some upside.
I played against Kinsey in high school. The kid is very talented.
I think Cavs' fans will be pleasantly surprised.
Good or not, I'd be more excited if there was playing time available.
As it stands, he's behind Delonte, Boobie, Sasha and Wally, competing for scrap minutes. If he's half as good as he was in my dreams last night, he'd be starting next to Delonte, playing 35 minutes and averaging 15 and 5.
T Pluto doesn't seem at all worried about 'te West coming back.
