NBA Finals: Cleveland Cavs VS Golden State Warriors

[Anointed One]

I want to apologize for missing last night's game. I am ashamed....real life got in the way.

You mean you missed my drunken stupor?

Which is a great lead in for me... I apologize to those I was a jerk to last night... Not my style on these boards... I let the alcohol do the talking for me in that 10 minute window...

Kevin Durant SF: I'd personally love to see LBJ and Durant team up... Those two would have great chemistry together... It's almost impossible to find a size match for both LBJ and Durant one on one... These two together would create so many mismatches for the opposing team... They'd have to trade Kyrie and Love to make this possible... Of course this scenario is wishful thinking so i'll move onto the possible opportunities... All this assuming Love is as good as gone...

Marvin Williams PF - A value stretch 4 player who isn't great at anything specifically but very solid at most things... He can stretch the floor and hit the 3, play defense and pound the boards if needed...

Nate Batum SF: Since LBJ likes to play that Hybred spot and run the offense like a PG, Batum would be a very good player to stretch the floor... He reminds me of a younger version of Iquodala...

Bismack Biyombo C: Cav's don't need an offensive weapon down low, they need a defensive presence down low who can block shots...

Aaron Afflalo SG: Defensive specialist coming off the bench who can score if needed... Shumpert needs to be replaced...

Brandon Jennings PG: Getting up there in age but if you're going to build your bench, you need to build them with guys you're going to play... At least Jennings would get some minutes... Mo Morris, J. Jones don't even see the floor...

Just a few thoughts... Not necessarily going to bring all this players into Cleveland but they need to tweak something because they're not even remotely competitive w/ Golden State, who is going to continue to improve w/ their big 3...

They don't have the cap for any one of those players

They wouldn't if they traded Love? They may have to eat some of it... I see your point though, LBJ would need to restructurer a bit to bring a strong supporting cast...

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

They wouldn't if they traded Love?

I think with a trade they would need salaries to match. In which case the cavs would then need to release someone.

Slightly off topic:

I've been taking this Parasite Purge for the last week or so and have noticed nothing in my stool. I was expecting something. Person that referred it to me noticed dead worms/parasites. After he told me that I did a google search and it revealed it isn't that uncommon.

I must be super healthy......or parasites just don't like me.

Friggin' jerk!

Making progress? I haven't seen many posts of you waking up naked on the lawn lately.

Not this year. Basically everybody but Cleveland has the cap room to sign a big name with a couple moves.

I think the Clippers too

To be fair, Love doesn't fit in the Cavs offense. He needs shots to get into a rhythm and he needs to be able to play in the post.

The Cavs have 2 ball dominant players in Kyrie and Lebron. When they make a concerted effort to get Love the ball he usually does well. The problem is, it then takes away from what Lebron and Kyrie do best.

When Lebron and Kyrie just play their games, Love is left to be a spot up shooter, which is not his game. If Love went to a team that relies on ball movement (Spurs, GSW, etc.) I think we'd see the Minnesota version of Love again.

Wiggy was super excited when they got Love......he said he fit their offense to a T.

The Cavs could trade for one in a sign and trade (by the other team).

This.

LBJ is softer than charmin tissue.

Please Don't squeeze the LeCharbron

I think the Clippers too

Clips are still linked to some big names though. If they trade Blake, they can get anybody.

Great win last night. Also LeBron and draymond going at it? I like it

 

[LAD]

Well... I wouldn't call Draymond a great

He was great against your Cavs in game 4.

Maybe Lue should do with Love what Kerr asked of Iggy...come off the bench. It probably would make a huge difference for Cleveland.

Apology accepted.

I take my hat off to you for showing back up today & apologizing.

I'm past 40, LAD. Trying to stay fit......errrr, NM. Trying to eliminate whatever I can from my body that shouldn't be there.
