Cavaliers Offseason Thread

[Binkster]

Not sure why this hasn't been opened yet, but much needed as opposed to 20 separate [free agent/target player name] thread.

I'll start things off with a bang:

 

[Ohio]

This makes me so happy. It just feels right. Will make it even sweeter with Mo back contributing to our Championship.

Fuck yeah!

 

[MirORich]

Said it in the other thread, but a year deal at the taxpayer MLE with the 3rd year being a non guaranteed option would be a great deal for us and good use of that exception.

Then use Haywood and the draft pick to get some younger more athletic wings and bigs

PLEASE YES

Bring the band back together!

I must be the only one who doesn't want Mo back. I just don't think a soon to be 33 year old PG who shot 39.7% and 34.2% is what we need.

 

[MirORich]

Those percentages would've bested just about every Cavs guard or wing in the Finals.

I think it's important to not think of Mo as the addition to the team we watched in the Finals.

He's not coming in to get us over the hump. Getting us over the hump is the return of Love, Kryie, Andy AND the addition of talent/depth like Mo, the draft pick and whatever else we get.

 

[World B ThAreee]

Based on evidence, I wouldn't expect Mo's %s to go up when the pressure is on.

 

[tristan+kyrie=$]

To be fair Mo put up those numbers on a garbage Wolves team where he has limited creators

 

[MirORich]

Based on evidence, I wouldn't expect Mo's %s to go up when the pressure is on.

Big difference in being the #2 scoring option on a team that lacked playmakers beyond Mo and LeBron vs. being a 12-18 minute per game guy with guys like LeBron, Kyrie, Love, Moz, JR etc.

Just what exactly are we thinking we can get in todays NBA for 3 million per year?

Meh. I just say fingers crossed that we're as healthy as possible come playoff time - particularly our big 3 in Lebron, Kyrie and Love. Because if that's the case, guys like Mo (and JR - for the people bashing him in that thread) will only have very small pressure on them to get us W's in the playoffs.

And Mo certainly would fill some roles on our team (depth in terms of ball-handling, setting up the offense, shooting, scoring).

I'm looking at it as more of a general roster upgrade...plug in Mo for either Haywood or Marion's roster spot and it's an upgrade, and actually lowers our average age a bit.

 

[And1]

Get him

Best case scenario.

Best case scenario.

Love your sig gif. One strange, funny scene from an otherwise great dark movie

If he's willing to come for a vet minimum, it seems like a win for all involved. Would he do that?
