Hey, Tom: The trading deadline will be coming up in a few weeks, do you see the Cavs trading Ramon Sessions instead of Antawn Jamison? If the Cavs do make a deal, which position do they need to upgrade the most at? -- Mike L, North Royalton

Hey, Mike: I believe the Cavaliers will trade Sessions and make an effort to move Jamison by one means or another. If they can't trade him -- remember they most likely would have to take salary back -- they will buy him out.

Hey, Tom: With the Cavs getting solid contributions from NBADL alum Alonzo Gee and Samardo Samuels as well as adding Ben Uzoh this week, could they level the playing field by becoming the best at scouting the minor league? -- Adam Miller, Sandusky

Hey, Adam: Teams certainly can add a small piece here and there through the D-League, but the draft and trades remain the lifeblood for a franchise like the Cavaliers. There are only so many stories like Gee available for one franchise.

Hey, Tom: Antwan Jamison can hit all kinds of crazy shots that leave you wondering how he did it. So why can't he make a simple free throw? -- Justin E., North Royalton

Hey, Justin: Jamison is a career 72.6 percent free-throw shooter, but this season is well below his average. As of Friday, he was shooting 61.2 percent. Not sure if the combination of age and the condensed season are contributing factors, but this season has been a struggle at the line.

Hey, Tom: ESPN's Chris Broussard said that he would like to see the Grizzlies trading O.J. Mayo to the Cavs for Casspi and Gibson. What do you think of this potential deal? -- Josh Brown, Cleveland

Hey, Josh: I'd do it in a heartbeat, but it probably takes more than that to pry Mayo from Memphis. He has been one of the most-shopped wingmen for more than a year, which tells me the asking price is fairly high. I don't think Casspi and Gibson get the deal done.

Hey, Tom: With the recent exposure of Jeremy Lin in the media, I have noticed that most of his highlights come against stunningly bad defense. Given the current poor level of league play, is it more likely an undrafted player like Lin can breakout now vs. previous years? -- Steve Cornelius, Avon Lake

Hey, Steve: The Jeremy Lin story is a wonderful one on many levels, but it still comes down to a young player finding the right fit. He wasn't going to play in Golden State because of Monta Ellis. He got a chance in New York -- and just barely -- because the Knicks had exhausted their options at point guard. Remember, Lin never got off the bench Jan. 25 against the Cavs. Less than two weeks later, his story took off as he made his first start.

Hey, Tom: In the long run, could Anderson Varejo's injury end up being beneficial for the Cavs? A few more losses might mean the difference between a No. 11 pick or seventh. -- Rich Smith, Columbus

Hey, Rich: The team would be loathe to admit it, but there is a kernel of truth, yes. The players and coaches will continue to try and win every game, but it will become increasingly difficult without Varejao. The Cavaliers need a higher draft pick more than they need to come within sniffing distance of the playoffs.
