So the Cavs have about $36 million tied up in one position and Cavs fans think this is a good idea?

The King, The Chosen One wants his starved citizens of Cleveland to have cake!! Let them eat cake!!

But, but Lebron could have his whipping boy in Chalmers and Napier. Don't put it past GM/Owner Lebron to make peace with the Heat......

I'm still reading the Heat want to move Chalmers and Bird and replace them with Barrea and Boozer.
It would equate to over a 7.5M cap savings.

Tristan avg under 27 MPG in the regular season. Let's stop making shit up please.

I would love to know Tristan MPG in games which love played. Wouldn't be shocked if it was under 25.

Moving Bird would be S*****. He stayed with them. I guess they did give him $10 million guaranteed over two years and gave him his shot back into the league and gave him an opportunity to compete and win a championship.

That was pre Whiteside.
I'd prefer Bird over Boozer also, but not if its going to hinder the Wade situation or adding someone of substance next year.

So I want some honest answers here since we are talking about Cleveland doubling down on what they built last year.

Why was Lebron so bad last year from an offensive efficiency standpoint? Is his prime behind him or is the team built wrong? Are we assuming that if Kyrie and Love are healthy that they'll be better? Do they need more reps together? Are they going to lose more on defense than they would gain on offense?

It kinda feels like the Cavs are doubling down on a 2nd tier team. Although to be fair every team that wasnt the Warriors was 2nd tier or worse so maybe the Warriors just simply regress next year and the Cavs have more synergy with another year under the belt.

I just wonder about Lebron getting worn down a bit...

they tried at the trade deadline for cole but riley told them to rot in hell

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

who cares if he is not the technical starter? he plays starters minutes and is in during crunch time. Mozgov start but he will not play 30 minutes and usually doesnt finish games.

Sounds like Love.

once they made their trades they had the best record in the league and were like 15-1 against the West.

what would you think would have happened in the Finals if conversely the Cavs were healthy and the Warriors were missing Green, Iguadala and Lee? It would have been straight massacre.

Draymond Green just got his contract

5 yr/85 million

What an awful idea. Boozer is a waste of space and barrea ain't much better.

Can happen to any team. Even a remarkable athlete will eventual wear down with the amount that he has played over the last 6 years including Olympics and 5 straight finals. However, I would be more worried about Irving an d Love than Lebron in terms of making it all the way through a season. Irving is coming back from knee surgery.

Micky likes to watch his pennies even though his team has appreciated in value from $30 million to well over $600 million.

lol...the Warriors couldnt give hi less than thompsons 5 year 80 or Green would have shit a brick, lol

 

[Shanemansj13]

5 years $85 mil for Draymond

And Green is also the much better player.

Mickey dos not like to pay he luxury tax thats for sure

 

[Andresrenee]

A decent value. One has to wonder how many players are going to have it in them to push themselves with the kind of money being doled out. Hope the owners/GMs did their home work on character guys. Not saying Draymond is but meant about the league in general.

 

[WiggyRuss]

I just hope the Cavsget one good rotation player for Haywood. Typically on a team with a "Big 3" its hard to have too many solid role players. Shumpert, THompson, Mozgov, Varejao are all solid players. Add a wing and a guard and they should be good to go.
