Shit, I wanted O’Neale.

Thoughts on Hunter with the Cavs?

Cavaliers interested in Royce O'Neale and De'Andre Hunter?

One veteran team executive read my Sunday piece that wondered aloud about the Cavaliers pursuing a trade for Brooklyn’s Royce O’Neale and relayed that Cleveland indeed has O’Neale…

I would def. take either one- not sure what we can trade though--- not really any draft pick capital....

Cavs have talent--- Garland is coming back...Mobley not far behind that--- its just 2 questions

1. Are they experienced/mature enough?

2. Can the coach get the most out of the talent?

IT seems they have played some of their best basketball with less talent and less mouths to feed. Does JB have the gravitas to get guys to sacrifice and work together?

Its apparent how valuable Allen is to them defensively and as a big---- how can they get Garland and Mobley integrated in a way where they can challenge good teams? Cavs have talent- but if they think O Neale or Hunter is a missing piece defensively on the perimeter and can get one of them- I would go for it---- but the story of this team will be told on how the main guys work together.

I dont think many people would question that the Cavs have a lot of very solid young talent on the team- and did a nice job adding some shooters they really needed.

The Pacers better be able to get him to sign.

3 first for a rental would be brutal.

Joel with double digit dimes 2 hours after I said he was a shit passer compared to Joker.

Totally on brand for me.

I have liked Hunter since he was drafted. 3 and D guy and that contract isn’t bad. I wonder if LeVert is the guy to go if they trade. Unless it’s Okoro, salary and pick(s).

O’Neale more of a rental but a sharpshooter.

I like both targets

Think they’d be interested in a freshly laundered Tucker, the Brew Master, coffee and Bizzy Bones?

Especially when your season ends after round 1

Idk who the brew master is, but….you attach some seconds and…yes probably
