Cleveland Cavaliers Scribbles about Joe Johnson, Anderson Varejao and Tristan Thompson -- Terry Pluto

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Scribbles in my Cavaliers notebook about Tristan Thompson, Joe Johnson and Anderson Varejao:
1. Before talking about the money, let's start with this question: Would you rather have Joe Johnson or J.R. Smith as a shooting guard? The basketball answer should be Johnson, the 6-foot-7 veteran who averaged 14.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists and shot .435 from the field (.359 on 3-pointers) for Brooklyn last season.
2. Johnson is durable, having missed only five games in the last two seasons. He's a good teammate, a quiet guy. His game should blend into what the Cavs need at shooting guard -- a guy who can shoot, but doesn't dominate the ball. He is also a decent defender. He can play some small forward. - CLICK HERE to read full story.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – It was a Tweet instead of a Sports Illustrated bomb, but for the second consecutive July a free agent joined the Cavaliers to the words "I'm coming home."
Veteran point guard Mo Williams agreed to terms on a two-year deal worth $4.3 million with the Cavs on Monday, returning to the franchise where he and LeBron James once dominated the NBA regular season together but fell short twice during the playoffs.
