Cavaliers Considered Signing Tractor Traylor

In a move that makes certified half-wit Isiah Thomas look like Stephen Hawking, a move that makes Robert "Tractor" Traylor's hula-hooping skills (above) look like a beacon of kinesiology, Danny Ferry seriously considered signing Tractor Traylor to fill in for the phantom Brizillian Anderson Varejao.

The indespensible Detroit News reports:


Had the Cavaliers not been able to finally re-sign Anderson Varejao, they were toying with the idea of signing former Michigan man Robert "Tractor" Traylor.

"I worked out Saturday and took a physical," said Traylor, who hasn't played in the NBA since 2005. "Once they signed Andy, I knew they were going with their guy. And they should, he's their guy and he's the one that helped them to the (Eastern Conference) championship.



Upon reading this news, the look on my face probably more than slightly resembles that of Big Baby's ESPN picture (right). I just don't know what to say to this. I feel like I've been hit in the head by a sack of potatoes. How would any cognizant being ever consider signing the Tractor at this point? Especially considering the free agent big men around the league at this point: PJ Brown? Danny Fortson? Even the Kandi-Man would be a better choice than Tractor Traylor.

While overall I feel really badly for the city of Cleveland becaue they have the worst-run team this side of one New York Knickerbockers, I feel the worst for the Tractor. Fresh off the hook of some hardcore legal issues, the man just wanted to play some NBA ball:


"Sure, I'm disappointed. It would've been great to come back and play with a good group of guys."

Traylor instead will play for a team in the Puerto Rican professional league.


The Puerto Rican Professional League, eh? While I had low expectations when I googled it, low and behold one of the all time great Celtics happened to be the only other player I recognized on the league's rosters. Apparently told that deer migrate south for the winter, our old friend Kevin Pittsnogle throws down for the Guaynabo Conquistadores.

A possible Pittsnogle/Tractor Traylor combo? Tengan cuidado Boricuas!

Of course Isiah Thomas would not be outdone, and upon hearing the news attempted to trade his resident Q, Quentin Richardson, for Traylor's incarcerated "Cousin Q". Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2007/12/cavaliers-considered-signing-tractor.html
