The Cleveland Cavaliers Next Backup Point Guard

WKYC.com

Following the acquisition of Kyle Korver, LeBron James let it be known that team still needs a backup point guard. "We gotta get a point guard. It's my last time saying it we need a point guard," LeBron James said. With Kay Felder and Jordan McRae failing to capitalize on the open role Iman Shumpert has stepped in as the Cavs best option this season. Here are five players that maybe the Cleveland Cavalier's new backup point guard.

1. Mario Chalmers (Free Agent)

The Cavs opened up a roster by trading away Mo Williams in the Korver trade so signing a free agent is now a possibility. Last season Chalmers averaged 10.8 points and 3.8 assists per game for the Memphis Grizzlies before tearing his Achilles March 2016. LeBrons former teammate in Miami has yet to work out for any teams since his injury.

2. Brandon Knight (Phoenix Suns)

Phoenix's roster is loaded with young guards and trading away Knight gives them a chance to play. As the Sun's sixth man this season Knight has been inconsistent and is averaging a career low 12.4 points per game.

3. Rajon Rondo (Chicago Bulls)

Rondo met with Bulls general manager Gar Forman after being benched on Dec. 31. to discuss his role with the team and let him know that he wants to part ways if the Bulls aren't going to play him. They could potentially buy out his contract allowing him to choose his new team or trade him for assets.

4. Quinn Cook ( D-League, Canton Charge)

Cook has played the last two season in the D-League for the Canton Charge who are the Cavaliers official D-League affiliate. In his first season with the Charge, he won the D-League Rookie of the Year averaging 19.6 points and 5.4 assists per game. Cook has upped his scoring average to 25.3 this season as he awaits a call-up to the NBA.

5. Deron Williams (Dallas Mavericks)

With the Dallas Mavericks sitting at the bottom of the Western Conference Mark Cuban should call quits on this season and begin the rebuilding process. Williams a former All-Star is under performing his contract that doesn't expire until 2019 and the Mavericks have to other point guards in Devon Harris and Jose Juan Barea that are capable of starting.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
