Let it all out. The Cavaliers Rant Thread

At this point everyone but Lebron and Love are on the trade block.

Flip Kyrie for Bledsoe

Thompson and Harris for Mozgov

Waiters and a pick for Avery Bradley.

This way there is at least some defense, but it requires Love to get back to playing like his old self to carry offensively.

Bledsoe- Bradley- Lebron- Love- Mozgov as the starting 5. Not much depth up front, but its not like there is now.

Are u out of your mind? Kyrie has been the most consistent performer on the team minus a few games yet you want to keep Love?

Love isn't tradeable because of the uncertainty with his contract. Kyrie is my favorite player but if it means keeping LBJ happy, he'll go way before Love ever does.

we need to get mozgov for the memphis pick and swap dion for avery bradley

then we have to try filling out the rest of the bench with the DPE.....

I don't see how that helps us. Bradley isn't tall enuff to be a starter on a championship team and our bench scoring would take a hit. We are already in dead last in that category.

The only way I see us making a strong push to win the title THIS season (like the expectations were) is to
1 - trade love for a package of players to give us a more balanced roster (Don't know if this is possible) or
2 - Package our 2 best players outside the big 3 (Waiters and Thompson) and see if we can't try to rebuild the entire crew outside of the big 3. You got to give to get and those are the only 2 players with any kind of trade value.

If we sit tight we can MAYBE make the finals, but I doubt it. We would have to use our assets on Wright or Mozgov to replace AV and then search very hard to pick up a starting shooting guard under the radar (maybe someone like Caron Butler for a 2nd round pick) but otherwise I still like the Bulls over us. Toronto could really beat us if Derozan comes back healthy. I can't imagine Irving and Miller having to deal with them in a 7 game series.

Avery Bradley is one of the best defenders in the league...

Where do you put him? He is 6'2 with shoes on. Too undersized to start unless he is with a shitty team like Boston and Id rather have Waiters off the bench then him

every bradley is one of the best perimeter guard defenders in the league

do you understand what we could do to teams if we decided to go small and roll out Kyrie, Bradley, Marion, Lebron, TT (or love)?? we could fuck shit up

kyrie
bradley
lebron
love
mozgov

that's absolutely a championship starting 5 ...we would just need to fill out the bench

 

[NorthCoastBias]

Why can't we ever have nice things?

 

[supermario21]

Should've kept Wiggins. Someone would have taken a flyer on Bennett. When we got LeBron we should have still collected more assets and/or cashed in on smaller but more valuable pieces. A 3 and D guy and a center to add to Kyrie, Dion, AW, LBJ, AV, and TT would have created a great, 10 deep team. The blockbuster Love trade made us more fragile than ever, and ever-reliant on aging vets.

That's nowhere near close to championship caliber. You want a 6 foot point guard as our starting shooting guard and a front line that plays absolutely zero defense? Everybody thinks Mozgov is some defensive stud he's actually a 7 foot offensive minded center. Put that front lineup against the Bulls or any contender out west and we get shit on

No. He starts for a bottom feeder team in the east. I could think of at least a dozen teams he wouldn't start for

I ain't seeing it. Your acting like Avery Bradley is some kind of all star shooting guard. He is good defender who can just as easily get posted up by bigger gaurds. He shoots 42 % from the field and is a average offensive player at best. I would start him if we got him for nothing, but if your saying we should trade Waiters for him it would be a lateral move
