Template talk:Cleveland Cavaliers roster

Can anyone fix the roster template so it links to the basketball player Joe Smith without the words (basketball) showing on the screen?

Active/Inactive

Please don't list players as inactive unless they have a long term injury (such as Leon Powe).

Inactives are different every game.

For example, Delonte West may fly off the deep end again and Coby Karl may be active.

Plus, Jackson/Jawad Williams/Green/Karl often alternate games filling out the roster.

The main 10 are as follows:

Starters--Lebron/JJ/Shaq/Parker/Mo

2nd team--Moon/Varejo/Z/Gibson/West

The rest mix and match from game to game.

Mo Wiilliams

Here is a story from the Cleveland Plain Dealer explaining why Mo Williams is still part of the Cavs roster. Yes, he announced his retirement, but never filed the proper paperwork with the NBA. Therefore - because he is still officially under contract - he takes up a spot on the roster until the Cavs can find a way to unload him (either by settlement, or buyout, or finding a trade partner to take his expiring contract). Bottom line, Williams is effectively holding a roster spot hostage until everything can get worked out, so stop removing him. Vjmlhds (talk) 03:36, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

How about every Cav that was involved in a trade this year can be edited out and replaced with the players they had on the team last year. This is a professional basketball team not a NCAA team. The trades the Browns have made feel a little realer to me than the trades the Cavs have made.2602:306:31D9:CA90:CFF:CD79:36B1:7A2C (talk) 07:02, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

• Comment Need to be sure that is his number. The Cavs didn't announce a number in the press release and when a player is moved from one roster to another on NBA.com they don't scrape the old number (31 was his number in Brooklyn). The Cavaliers do pretty detailed game notes, which should update today or tomorrow. They always list player numbers, but don't yet include the new players. That would be good confirmation the number is correct. Rikster2 (talk) 17:18, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
  • File:Pictogram voting wait.svg Already done It looks like another editor has already made this change. Their team notes did update to list him as #31, at the top of page 10. TimSmit (talk) 17:56, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
