Cleveland is going to surprise some people this year. Think they might win it all.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Love and Kyrie

Cavs are still targeting a big man. The main ones are Mozgov or Koufos. But I have also heard about Hibbert or Sanders, which have been talked about less.

If they use the non-guaranteed contracts of Lucas and Murphy they bring a contract in worth $3.72 million. Or another option is waiting on trade restrictions of Powell and Malcolm Thomas to be lifted to have more flexibility and be able to bring in someone up to $5.9 million.

I hate what the NBA has become & honestly hope the Cavs never win a title. I have nothing against LeBron James. I'm just sick & tired of turning on my TV & hearing & seeing nothing, but Cleveland sports. It's become NAUSEATING.

I really think this big three should be called the "Young Big Three", or Big Three and Andy or The Big 2 and soon 3.

Regardless, this is the best big three combo comparing to Celtics and Heats big three when you consider age and health.

The more I listen to others I am convinced this could be a special time for Cleveland. No excuses, this is really a team that should become a dynasty.

And imagine it started by getting the ping pong balls to fall at the lottery this year.

Luck is a magical thing

It wasn't luck. They won the lottery 3 out of the last 4 years. I believe bringing LeBron back to Cleveland was something the league wanted.

Hard to argue that in some ways...............always a strange thing that lottery ball aproach

Only 1 out of those 3 times were the odds improbable.

They won the lottery 3 out of 4 years because they sucked at basketball and because they sucked at drafting. And, yes, because they got lucky.


Its easy to cherry-pick a couple of lottery results and pair it with some conceived storyline in order to paint a "its totally rigged" picture.

Look at the lottery results as a whole, dash in a bit of logic and reasoning... and all the conspiracy theories fall apart.

While I don't believe the lottery is rigged. It seems to me that the odds of winning 3 out of 4 lotteries would be fairly improbable even with favorable odds in each individual lottery.

Definitely. I didn't mean to imply otherwise.

But much, much more probable then winning 3 out of 4 with unfavorable odds every time.

I ready for some basketball, I haven't been this excited about the Cavs since the previous LeBron team, and Mark Price, Hot Rod Williams, and Larry Nance days.

True. I think the NBA should just go reverse order from worst record to best record. The lottery just invites more suspicion and accusations that it's rigged.

Yes, teams will be accused of tanking, but they're being accused of tanking anyway. The league can also create rules to address tanking to a degree.

Those were some fun Cavs teams to watch. I was a big fan of Mark Price and had become something of a Larry Nance fan from his time with the Suns.

I doubt they give him up. Didn't they sign him to a pretty big contract?

Yup 4 years 44 million. He's worth it if playing
