Cavaliers Offseason Thread

[Snarly]

There's media reports saying the Suns may be looking to unload Bledsoe so it may not take a ton to get him. There's a report saying they offered their first rounder plus Bledsoe to the knicks.

Maybe Haywood plus Joe Harris plus a future first rounder would interest them?

Phoenix seems hard to figure right now. I don't really know what their plan is.

Not sure if you are reading the debate here about this but if not read our posts and form your opinion.

Some variation of a 3-team trade involving Love to LA, Bledsoe & Russell to Cle, drafts picks and money to the Suns.

A guy can dream...

Why would we even want Bledsoe?? There aren't enough minutes for him

I thought my dream was out there... This is just. Dayum.

Yeah that is a problem he does not fit in terms of size by position. If we start a KI, EB, LBJ, that is three players who can run an offense at any time in the game. Plus it would work so well for a small line up. It yeah is far fetched but fun to think and talk about.

Problem is at some point you have to wake up.

Just came up with it on a whim I didn't actually think it through, but if you were not to resign Delly and JR there would be plenty of minutes for a very versatile backcourt. The problem would be adding some depth to the frontcourt.

To me the most needed spot we need to take care of is a proper back up SF who does not have to be A.I but someone who can D up and shoot at a decent rate. Adding Bledsoe takes no real strain off LeBron come post season.

I don't think Kyrie and Bledsoe can play together.
Why would we want not want to start Shumpert?

Yeah he does not fit here unless he wants to take the do not start but finish games role. At 25 years old he may not ready to do that yet. However our bench would be a defensive killer with Delly, Shump,Jones,TT. AV It would also be a offensive disaster. This makes me cringe at the Mike Brown subs though.

That's more or less owing to LeBron's stubborness and need to play ISO ball. But I don't argue with you that Bledsoe would not be exactly what we need on this roster. He does however fit LeBron's favoritism criteria in terms of players signed on to his agency.

You could however have some really fun small ball lineups of versatile PG/SG's that can score in different ways. Imagine having some variation of...

PG-Bledoe
SG-Irving/Russell
SF-Shumpert/Russell
PF-LeBron
C-Tristan

This is all for fun I don't honestly believe there is even a 1 in 100000000 chance of this happening.

To be honest I wish I could see how that would work out. Someone NBA2k this when you get a chance. Small ball is the new thing in the NBA this is why Love is so needed. He allows floor spacing so we can avoid trying to match small ball. If we wanted to go your route we would be so much better with L.A than Love.

Okay I am done playing fantasy basketball, Lets just hope this offseason starts with Love signing a 5 year deal. Oh and Mike Brown.

 

[Snarly]

You are now between fantasy and reality. Nothing will help you until Love commits and we actually use the contract of one called Haywood. I will have Sir'Dominic Pointer show you out. Goodnight kind sir.
