16-8 after starting 2-8.
Are you really bragging about a team that is championship or bust at 18-16 LOL. Nobody thought they would continue to be bottom 3 in the east but they are lucky most of the east is closer to .500.

Nobody is bragging, just saying they seemingly have turned it around.

Starting lineup isn’t the issue. Bam having the least efficient year of his career is. He has been so bad on offense all season long
Put Bam in PF and watch how much more effective he'll be. We need to go big.

Should, but won’t

Reaves is the new overrated laker

Not at $13M per he isn't. Since Xmas, he's had double doubles in 5 of 6 (including a triple double). Averaging 24 pts, 11 assists, 7 rebounds and 40% from 3 in his new full time PG role with DLo gone (and Gabe injured) over most of that span. Rebounds would be even higher but he came up completely empty vs the Rockets oddly enough. Season averages of 18/4/6 and 36% from 3.

Okay, that's twice dynasty and Cavs were used in the same sentence.

What's going on in here?

Homerism. Dynasty talk shouldn't start before the 2nd championship. Neither even has a finals appearance with these current rosters.

It works in the trade machines. Plus, it doesn't matter that they have Rozier. Miami has reached a point now where they can't (shouldn't, Riley is stubborn) be overly picky about what the return trade package looks like. You're not going to find one that has a nice young players on good contracts and picks. The time for that was last summer. The longer you wait, the worse your return is going to be and if you wait to try to do a sign and trade, that's making things overly complicated given the CBA guidelines on S&Ts. If they get contracts that expire this year or next year and/or some picks, take the deal. Kennard and Smart come off the books this year, Clarke in 3 years. If they could get GG, that's a nice young player to continue to develop as well. Plus Smart is a good enough piece to where they can turn right around and flip him somewhere else.

Might be able to flip Smart too if they don't want to keep him this season.

Don't start clutching your pearls already. How stupid and premature?
Stay focused.....it was not a Cav fan who said we were a dynasty or on verge of one. Happen to agree it's premature (as I'm guessing most Cavs fans think)

Offer to help you with comprehension is still there when needed.
