Entering the '22-23 season, bud. Sorry you're stuck in '21-22.

Again, nice try.

Boston
Milwaukee
Philly
Miami
Toronto
Chicago

Where do the Cavs fit in the top 6 there?

So they signed some irrelevant rookies to make the team younger? The Core is still old as dirt...

Shaq was a dominant force in the league for many years. But by the time he got to Phoenix wasn't as unstoppable. Some of his numbers those two years.

2005- 22.9 ppg &10.4 rebs (did lead the league in FG% that season)

2006- 20.0 ppg & 9.2 rebs (led the league in FG% again)

Miami you mean?

Mitchell is a All-Star caliber player.

He's better than Sexton, who you were gonna lose in a year if you didn't overpay him.

I don't need half a second to think about which guy I'd rather have on a max deal.

We have no idea what the rookie would have given you.

No, it doesn't make you a top contender in the East ......YET.

But, if Mobley, Allen, Garland continue to take steps, we might be singing a different tune in a year or two.

Some people act like you have a roster full of 35 year olds.

The Clippers have to win now.

The Clips, Suns, Bucks, Celtics, Nets are win or bust.

The Cavs are not.

You guys are the Eastern Conference Grizz.

The Eastern Conference keeps getting better.

Gonna be a dog fight... for second place. Celtics are winning the East going away. ;-)

How bad is the Gallo injury? Don't remember any followup on that.

Was it as bad as originally thought?

 

[dtgold88]

Seriously. Is Mitchell THAT much better than Sexton by himself???

Wtf lol

Honestly, I have to think he's better but never thought it was by that much. I mean, I'll trust this FO until they give us a reason not to, though. Friend just made a comment to me I thought was spot on......

"Fans tend to undervalue their own players and overvalue other players. We kind of did that with Levert and even Love when we got him to a lesser extent. Those saying it's a no-brainer are basing it off their hate for sexton and perception of Mitchell."

They won nearly 50 games last year. I think they could get good quickly similar to how the Grizzlies did

Plus Sexton had a major injury, and has never really helped the team win. He shoots a lot at a low percentage. It was def a win as far as the trade.

Good news on that front... wasn't a torn ACL, injury time table looks like 2-3 months... he should be back to full health well before the AS break.

Honestly, I've never been a fan of Mitchell. He's a volume player but terribly efficient.

He can be a crunch time guy so that's good. But they best lock him up for a long time. Cause that cupboard is gonna be empty for a long while.

 

[dtgold88]

Why not include Okoro instead of the rookie? 3 1st's is a lot + 2 swaps. I didn't in my right mind thing they would ever do this

one of 2 reasons...either they didn't want him or Cavs refused to include him as they think he'll eventually be our starting 3.

 

[Wamu]

Miami you mean?

Damn didn't even notice I mixed the teams up. Thanks for pointing it out.

 

[dtgold88]

I like DM but now they don't have future picks, a starting 3 and I really liked that rookie, he had a shot to spread the floor. Maybe there is more coming back to CLE?

I mean, IF the deal works out as they hope we are talking about losing late first rounders. No doubt we still need a shooter or 2 (or 3).

I bet Okoro is starting at SF.

JTA, Bryant and Jones signings...

I like those a lot.

Walker and Brown were stir-fried cat shit.

Reaves is a nice young player.

Nunn is a walking ponzi scheme.

But, old or not....

A healthy Lebron, AD and Bev is not bad.

* ignores the Westbrook sized elephant in the room *

If they get a shooter, they are a legit playoff team.

If some things break right... Like the arms and legs of the top players on the Suns, Dubs, Clipps, Nugz....maybe more.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Well, we got a trade to talk about in this dead part of the NBA.....

Maybe another pretty soon?

Assuming you meant he's inefficient?

I mean, we have Garland, Allen and Mobley under team control for a while. Okoro, too, if they still think he's a core piece.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Today will be just fine.

@Mecca is feeling generous.....
