Agree.
Championships are great, but uncommon.

As a fan, I want to see quality basketball and the end result speaks for itself.
Ive only ever felt championship
or bust the years LeBron was here.

Don't need a title, but not too much to ask to at least be a realistic contender to come out of the East as a goal.

East is just as tough as the West and will only get tougher when KD is back

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

You think Cavs' fans think only way to improve is "strictly through the draft" after signing Lebron as a FA and trading for Love?

Lighten up Francis.

Fluke situation.
All the stars aligned.
You got a better chance of seeing Bigfoot then that again.

Thought process was that with Wade, Bosh, Dragic we would be, but we’ll never know.

All the stars aligned? They were the ones who cleared the cap space and acquired the assets used to bring back Lebron and acquire Love.

You don't want to give them any credit? want to condemn their plan that actually worked? OK......your choice on your agenda.

OK...but what has been the thought process the last couple years?

If plan was to keep winning lotto with 3% chance, then it was well executed.

Did the Cavs make some good strategic moves to get draft picks? Yes.

The hiring of Blatt was proof LeBron coming back at that point wasnt the thought process.

Nothing to debate. Its fact.

After 30-11 2nd half, Riley made decisions.
Didn’t work out as hoped.
Shit happens.

 

[DJ Fieri]

It better be before the plane lands!!!!!!! I have big fucking plans Thursday night.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Lol at this point who the hell are the Clippers going to get?

Maybe Cousins is who Leonard wants them to get?

LOL

 

[thunderc]

You mean there are Cavs fans?

 

[DJ Fieri]

On the Kawhi front, told he’s not making a decision tonight and it may not be until the next few days. He and his reps are going through the process and taking their time before deciding the next move. No 2-year deals have been discussed

Don't know about the rest of the world, but this place is badly infested with them.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Yep definitely. Overpay Green, a perfect for. Grab Iggy and Korver after buyout. Trade for Dragic and/or sign Boogie.

Danny $12-14 could do it
Dragic $19
Boogie could accept the MLE but who knows.

Make 2 out of 3 of those moves but Green seems like the most important. I dont think Boogie is a need, I would go after Green and Dragic HARD and try to add Iggy

Dragic
Green
Kuz
Lebron
AD

Iggy off the bench at least

Way too much for Green.....8-10 at the most. He didn't have a great season.

But, that's a pretty solid starting 5 with 2 stars, 1 good player, and 2 nice role players.....

Nothing to debate. Its fact.

When did they win lotto with 3% chance? The Irving win? If so, their own pick gave them a 25% chance, they just happened to win it with the Clipper pick. Wiggins pick? whoever they took there was probably headed to Minnesota in a Love deal as they had no other suitors.

Your thoughts on Blatt are opinion. Not fact. What's fact is you might not know the difference between fact and opinion.

Did they know Lebron was coming back? I'd say no, so they hired a coach they liked best. Clearly it didn't sway Lebron's decision.

 

[DJ Fieri]

LOL

I almost spewed beer all over the laptop....

 

[dtgold88]

translation - Riley thought his team was better than they were and did not come up with the best plan to get back to being a contender.

Now that's more a fact than the one you claimed as fact.

 

[DJ Fieri]

He’s staying in Canada, Mark it down. I hope.

A very small part of me hopes this is true.....a very small part at this point in FA.

 

[DJ Fieri]

@Mecca this is the first time I remember you missing most of FA....in all our time on various sports message boards.....I hope all is well with you, my sunshine.

Yes and a title. What does OKC have?
