Can Cleveland Cavaliers Survive with Smoke and Mirrors at Center?

[Cavatt]

I was just thinking about how cool it would be if Tristan was allowed to bring actually smoke and mirrors on the court.

The opposing C would always believe that an equally big dude was guarding him, but the smoke would make his reflection much more menacing.

Also if it was a fun house shaped mirror our C could look much bigger/scarier.

Yeah me too pal me too

Hope we get a decent thing from that trade exeption and Haywood contract

Yeah, but Mozogov also did this:

But joking aside, he had another great preseason game:
20p, 8r, 3b in 24 minutes. Will be hard to trade for him without giving up our Memphis-pick if he continues to play like this...

If he continues to play like that, he's probably worth giving up the Memphis pick.

True that.

Especially since McGee won't be ready for awhile
