Cavs looking to swap love/mozgov for Demarcus Cousins and gay

[ducky]

I donno about Love delivering in "big moments". The problem I see is Love having a hard time adjusting to his new role since Kyrie's return-whatever that new role is. Do they want him to play in the paint? If so why aren't there some plays for him there? Do they want him to be a spot up shooter? If so where are those plays in games? If he's unsure of his role how can he perfect it and make an impact in games?

Yeah I can't prove that Love is going to deliver in big moments but I am waiting to say I told you so at some point....

When dude is laser focused and in the flow, he is a lights out 3 point shooter. IMO he is a 40%+ 3pt shooter in the playoffs just waiting to happen. He just has to get there and stay healthy for it to happen IMO.

The fact that Lebron and Blatt haven't figured out how to get Love open elbow 3's all night long w/ Irving playing off the ball and Lebron running the pick and pop with Love is absolutely mind-boggling to me. If I were the coach, I would run a double big pick at the top of the key for Lebron virtually every single play with Thompson rolling to the hoop, Love popping to the elbow 3 and Kyrie and another shooter off the ball spacing. I still can't figure out how that isn't more of what they do.

Because they have an inexperienced coach.

Anyone who believe that rumor is an idiot.

Yes I'm calling you an idiot @lebron23james

Every rumor has an element of truth

 

[Black Adam]

Yeah, and I'm currently looking to swap my girlfriend for Kate Upton. Keep dreaming, Cavs.

think she might be available...?

 

[Black Adam]

If the Cavs really wanna fix things immediately I got 1 name for them...

Spoiler

Delonte West!

"Dad? is that you...?"-LeBron James

"Dad? is that you...?"-LeBron James

If what I have been told for years is true LeBron's late father (Roland Bivens) was 1 of the best HS players I ever saw.

 

[Hambombs]

Cousins is better than love but the team chemistry is way more important than talent here

While were are fantasizing, I am looking to swap five one dollar bills for five 100 dollar bills and call it even

That has to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I could start a rumor right now claiming that Kevin Durant is gay, and that wouldn't have a single element of truth to it.

I can see the 30 for 30 ad now.

What if I told you that Delonte West wasn't Lebron's real Dad and that his real Dad was a high school legend?

"Family Ties" on the next edition of ESPN's 30 for 30.

Yeah, starting that rumor about Russell Westbrook would be much more believable.

 

[SFGRTB]

Lol this person has quite the opinion of Cousins, despite not seeing him play.

Cousins is one of the biggest mismatches in the game. Putting him next to LeBron would be outrageously good. Just watch the highlights from last Saturday's game to see his skillet. Love doesn't come near that.

Love isn't going anywhere

This would never happen but I wouldn't be opposed to it. Cousins might not have a 3 ball, but his mid-range is money, great rebounder, better defender and just a pure-scorer. Mozgov is a good defensive presence that they would lose, but Thompson can start. Either way, this isn't happening.

Jeeeeeeeeeeez how much more help does Lebron need?

Let's be honest for a second. Who really does compliment LeBron and Kyrie?

Kyrie holds the ball way too damn much, and Lebron does his best work is isolation. LeBron and Kyrie don't fit each other, let alone with another top player.

What types of players do fit, you ask?

Catch and shoot wings who don't need the ball in their hands (Reddick, Korver, Ray Allen, etc.) and bigs who don't need the ball (Gobert, D. Jordan, etc.).

This team will never beat the Spurs or Warriors as currently constructed, but Cousins is not the answer either.

While Cousins is better than either Cavs player offered in the rumor, I doubt it makes either team better. I am still laughing that the Cavs are paying TT $14 mil for 8 points & 9 rebounds a game.

Well at least he is 24 and getting better.

I will tell ya- I am STILL laughing that the Suns signed Tyson Chandler to a 4 year 56 million dollar contract at the age of 33 where he is averaging 5 points and 8 boards right when they are going into a rebuilding process.

What's the referencing the Suns in a Cavs thread? Deflection? They are a train wreck. Now what?

TT is not getting any better. Except for his rebounding, his stats are basically lower than his career averages. His PPG, blocks, & steals have steadily regressed over the last few seasons. Only his rebounding has remained steady.

Said it in the offseason, you could have got Ed Davis for a fraction of the price and gotten the same thing out of him. Too bad LeBron thinks he's essential to the team.
