Kuzma officially declined his player option and will be a free agent.

I want the Cavs to try and land Royce O'Neale.

The Cavs mostly just need time. No young teams ever win in the NBA.

They do need to add around the margins and add some shooting though- at the 3 and the 4.



I think the Cavs should give Okoro another chance, another year of development, becuase of his ceiling, but they need a backup plan in case his shooting does not improve.

The Cavs had 2 huge issues.

1. Youth

2. With Okoro, Mobley, Allen on the floor they had 3 guys that could not shoot a 3. That is tough in todays game and led the Knicks to packing the lane and making it very difficult on Garland and Mitchell to penetrate.

I expect Mobley and Okoro to improve their shots- but they need a backup plan for Okoro- and either Dean Wade needs to step up at the 4 - or they need to add a shooter there that they can depend on.

Mostly good points.....but while O'Neale is a little better shooter than okoro he's been dreadful in the last 2 playoffs.

Love falling off the map really hurt this team. Not just for his shooting, but also allowed Allen or Mobley to be on the court at center at all times. This was tough to do without Love as no true PF when Wade started his major slide, as well.

You can’t trade a first until after 24 draft though

You can trade that pick after making it

I’m curious what nets do with him

They don’t need him with all the other guys they got

I think you could get O'Neale without giving up a 1.

you see Gavin Williams is coming up to start tomorrow?

Wade really shit the bed. He was making some nice progress there for a while and then just self destructed after coming back from his injury.

Yep...heard about it. McKenzie's spot, right?

 

[The Q]

Still would have ended nearly 2 weeks before free agency if the series went 7.....

There has to be some gap though. Even with the current gap it seems ridiculous that the draft is this week already and Vegas starts up a week later.

The new league year should start before the draft though

Makes no sense to have it before then

Let’s try trades rain down upon us

It is odd, but trades can be made now with last year's salaries or be held until July with next year's salaries. Provides a bit more flexibility I guess.

thats a troll right there. A pretty funny one too

Not as funny as how the Knicks trolled the Cavs........you know when you disappeared......because the Knicks beat the Cavs in the first round?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

One of the many reasons you can’t take this moron seriously.

That guy is a total moron.

@Mecca pulling for the Clipps to land CP!!!!

Kuzma officially declined his player option and will be a free agent.

Washington traded Beal and maybe Porzingis to give Kuz a fat contract to build around him?

 

[DJ Fieri]

So because I care about all of you (even those that I frequently engage in "spirited debate" aka one sided trolling of) I highly recommend Goli apple cider vinegar gummies and Goli super green gummies. I have added those to my daily intake as well as a Men's one a day vitamin......50-plus because I am almost 52. And I also take 6-8 wheat grass tablets a day.

The fine print: I am no Nutrionist, still DJ the foodie, but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express recently.

Maybe $20. You'll see.

I'm not expecting him to get anything close to what he wants bc he isn't worth that but I think some team could be desperate and do around $20M. That makes sense

It will be 3/60 from the Warriors and he's worth every penny to them

Haha.....I mean, he's not wrong.
