JV is getting benched on the Raptors now, I dont see how the love affair keeps on going.
One things for sure you can certainly say the Cavs didnt want either one of those guys because they passed on both of them.
Their coach is a joke, and freaks out every time Jonas picks up 2 fouls in the first half.
He's a hell of a player, and I'd love to have him here.
Dwane Casey chose not to foul despite approximately a 2-second difference between shot and game-clock. Here's the explanation for it:
“We felt like we had five seconds and as soon as we got the rebound (the team was) going to call timeout,” Casey said of why the Raptors fouled so late. “(If Charlotte makes) two free throws, it’s over with anyway “. We felt like we could get one stop and then get a timeout. That’s the way it went down at the end, it should never have gotten to that.”
Note that the Bobcats were 17-30 (56%) from the stripe in this game.
And yet, neither Toronto and Detroit would swap their bigs for Dion or TT.
It's been reported that the Cavs really did like Valanciunas. They just didn't like his agent jerking them around.
And as I've pointed out to Los, which makes it funny he thanked your post, that's a dumb measure to use. That's right, Detroit, already with a roster full of non-shooting big men, wouldn't trade Drummond for Tristan Thompson. Go figure. They also probably wouldn't do it for Dion when they just signed Brandon Jennings to a fairly large contract and drafted KCP this year.
Kind of like we wouldn't trade Tristan Thompson for Kemba Walker. Not because Kemba isn't a better player (don't wanna debate this, making a point), but because we don't need him. Get it?
The need for a big whether Jonas or Drummond will become accentuated when all these young centers and those coming in start to develop. We will be hard pressed to find that big just like what happened in the Orlando series.
Ive heard that from a few people as well. Not like Im connected or anything, but it seems to be a common rumor.
Thanks for ranting but ask them to trade straight up for talent and they will laugh at CG. That's my opinion. You're entitled to yours even though I think it's stupid.

This isnt fantasy league. NBA teams are built to compete. playing armchair gm and trying to bolster your opinion by what someone else would do when you have no evidence to support just weakens your statement tremendously. why do you need some mythical fantasy scenario t o support your views? Jv doesnt make the Cavs a better team. they can get better offensive rebounding from thompsonson and at some point better spacing at range from zeller.
the only person generating laughs is the posters make up opinions of other people to support their views.
He's no more a "hell of a player" than TT and Dion...
