"They said, 'Take the deal we've offered or we'll go an alternate route,' " Goodwin said. "They won't negotiate fairly." "They made an offer to Delonte for around what they got 'Boobie' to sign for," Goodwin said. "Chris Duhon got $5 million-plus, and he might not even start (for the New York Knicks). All the comparables that we showed them doesn't matter to Cleveland." "They keep saying how much players want to play with LeBron (James). That doesn't work with Delonte." A league source said Boston and Miami have approached the Cavs regarding sign-and-trades. The source said they were turned down by the Cavs. "To quote another team, 'Why should we negotiate for the Cavs?' " Goodwin said. " 'If we make an offer, all they'll do is match.'" "Teams hide behind the first refusal clause - the right to match anything. Other teams see value in West, but Cleveland doesn't."
