Dwyane Wade to Cleveland??

Crippled guard and senior citizen guard make them stronger.

That cripple and senior citizen averaged 18/4/4 on 30mpg last year.

They were 2 of just 20 players in the league to do that last year.

If you strap them together in order to get 2 good legs I think NBA rules still state that they count as 2 players.

Has Kyrie convinced any of his new teammates that the Earth is flat?

Nice list. Completely irrelevant though.

Wade is an upgrade over Irving.

Maybe if this was 2007. Wade averaged 18 ppg on a team that needed him. At the old age of 35 with a long list of injuries the dude will be lucky to average 12 ppg off the bench.

Irving is just reaching his prime at 25 years old, and is by far the best finisher at the bucket in the game and one of the better clutch players in the game. Now he has a coaching staff to help him work on his game. Dude will be the best PG in the East while Wade will be a nice role player.

Cavs roster would've been nice 5 years ago. Now they're looking like a retirement home.

Yeah, not trying to say it means anything. With IT's hip issue, honestly none of those guys outside of LeBron are still looked at as the player they were when they put up 25 in a season.

Still, its just a crazy fact that that 25% of active players who have put up 25 in a season are on the Cavs.

This cavs team is going to be bad. Good in the east but bad against good teams. No defense

Wrong. They will be an offense-first team yes, but they will win the East again (barring injury as always). LeBron can defend, and so can Jae Crowder.

thats it and LBJ only plays D in the 4th Q now. Yes they will win the East but have no shot against a West team. This is an ugly looking team. They lost their best scorer in Irving.

If IT is healthy,

I will take IT, Rose, Crowder and Wade over Irving and Deron Williams. And it isn't particularly close.

If IT doesn't get back to 100%, then we have a very different conversation on our hands. For now though, I will take 2018 Cleveland over 2017 Cleveland. And that does not even factor in he possibility of dealing the Nets pick for another star.
