and SHAME on you miss lady for ratting that man out. you KNOW he had a good thing going here...

Hahahahaaha well like i said, he talked about my son for no reason and thus has started a WAR!!!

 

[Hambombs]

considering how Bogut played in the finals i might've wanted to keep him around, but that's just me...

We have festus also they want another shooter to fill out the roster

 

[Hambombs]

This deal saves them 5 million in cap and roughly 17.5 in luxury tax bills

Which could be a very good thing or a very bad thing depending on health and how the team performs. We don't know yet.

There's definitely risk involved... but there's also a decent shot at a big payoff.

I agree with that but it has more of a chance to fail then succeed. remember this isn't like the Miami Heat when they had 3 of the top 10 players and then added the best 3pt shooter. U have LBJ, and 2 injured players who haven't won anything. I like Irving and love his upside but he just gets hurt. Love and Irving are not even in the Top 15. So this is way different then Miami situation. Some would even say they failed for only winning 2.

If I had to take a guess and say will the Cavs win 1 in the next 5 years I would go with a yes but 1 isn't enough when u have a 200-250 mill dollar team for the next 3-5 years. They would need to win at least 3 out 5 and the way the West is I don't see that.

Very true. Lee some what saved this team. Things started to get going when he came in. the main turning point was starting Iggy but giving Lee playing time was also another big thing and also sitting Bogut.

Maybe, but this is CLE. 1 is more than enough.

 

[LAD]

LOL...

1) I don't know if I was boasting about his 11 blocks... just pointing out that it wasn't a total fluke.

2) He was very steadily consistent over each of his 4 years... every year was basically the same. 20 blocks, 21 blocks, 23 blocks, 20 blocks. His most recent season was no different than any other.

Ok here let me help you out. You're correct, he's averaged somewhere around 20-23 blocks a season. Now, in a season where's he's only played 50 games that is about .4 blocks a game. Now given that is simple math I'm sure being the smart man that you are, clearly you can see that his average gets worse every season since the number of games he plays goes up.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Obviously but I thought you were saying that the way they played all season was lucky

Haha nah. They won 67 games, they did get some breaks in the postseason but to me it was just their year to win it.

I guess

Um... I was told there would be no math involved.

Yeah, your're right... I wasn't paying attention to the GP. So from 0.5 his first year, to 0.4, to 0.3 the last couple seasons. Now remind me, again, why we're delving in to the specifics of Kyrie's yearly BPG numbers??

 

[Shanemansj13]

As a fan 100% but don't act like they aren't trying to really Buy a championship especially when there is no other team to compare to. This just adds more pressure to the Cavs and LBJ. They have to win one now and their best chance will be this coming year. Cavs are locked with this team for the next 3-5 years. There is no wiggle room for this team.

They drafted the core of these guys, including Lebron technically. Kyrie, Varajeo, James, TT...so getting role players around them makes sense. It is the fact they have these main guys locked up from 4-5 years, it wont affect them and they can still get role players around the guys. They will be fine will no wiggle room bc they have the stars in place.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Gotta get one before you even think about more. That is just being greedy, but we are talking to Chicago, LA, and Heat fans lol

 

[Shanemansj13]

So is GS going to drop Wallace. He didnt look too good last season.

Lol, exactly. I get that they think of championships in terms of runs of multiple titles... how very nice for them. CLE is on the complete other side of the spectrum. 1 is the only thought until it happens.

Yeah... rumor is they either stretch his contract (basically cut him... but pay out his owed salary over a period of years) or try to trade him for a cheaper deal.

David Lee to Boston

Well I thought you threw that out there because you considered him to be a blocking magician or something.

Nah... a ball-handling magician, but not a blocking one.

 

[CitySushi]

Best part of the David Lee deal is that no other assets were traded in combination with him. David unfortunately wasn't going to be in the rotation and we traded him for another non-rotation player who was cheaper.

Lee was the ultimate teammate last year. Hope he gets some good run in Boston.
