Luke Walton was in uniform for the Cavs on Sunday but didn’t play.

He was a solid player, with great passing skills ansd court vision, and really high IQ for the game. He actually was fundamentally sound, and had quite a few moves. The problem was he played at 75% speed in the NBA, so he was late to defend, and most of his moves were too slow to work. That's the difference between some of the great college players, and the great NBA players. Some of the great college players are too slow to play in the NBA, no matter how fundamentally sound and consistent they are. Luke, Laettner, Cherokee Parks, and Greg Ostertag all come to mind.

Cavs forwards Luke Walton and Omri Casspi are candidates to be bought out of their contracts this summer. Walton might be reluctant to take anything less than the $6.1 million he’s owed because he’s a minimum player — at best — at this stage of his career. Casspi is owed $2.3 million next year. He could return to Europe, which might be his best option. Morning Journal
