Cavaliers Offseason Thread

[Chris Parker]

Seems to make sense to me. Gallnari fits better in Memphis than Green.

Why would Gallinari be a better fit? He's a terrible Defensive player which is the Grizzlies raison d'etre. Green is a decent 3rd option, why would they feel the need, esp. given Gallinari's injury issues. Seems crazy and pointless honestly

I was being sarcastic if you were talking about me.

Nah, not you, just the board in general. A flawed player signs somewhere else and people start freaking out and asking "when are we going to do something!". 4 things were going to happen this off-season. The draft, re-signing our own free agents, using the MLE, trading Haywood. Draft is over, waiting on JR, Tristan, JJ, and Delly for our own, spent the MLE on Mo Gotti, and have 21 days to make the Haywood deal.

Only unexpected things that could come are JJ retiring and a ring chaser or 2 coming towards the end of the summer. Everything else people need to temper their expectations on.

All speculation aside I can see where the parts all go and fit. You and others think there is more to this. Unlike Crawford and Wade this makes sense to me.

Lol i was reading trying to figure out if this andy to the grizz thing was actually reported

its something RCF invented because andy followed people on instagram, LOL

@Cayman13, why must you pull on these heart strings?


I'd be the worst GM in the league. I can't seperate emotions from what ultimately is the smartest, most beneficial sporting decision..

Anderson looks pretty darn good without the mop.

I don't mean any disrespect but the RCF offseason instagram stalkers take a lot of pride in what they do. Show some humility.

Nothing concrete, just Cayman Girl doing a bit of stalking to help her friends out

The fucked up thing this makes sense if it was a real rumor. It is the most realistic stalked/follow what are the odds thing yet. I love to put together trades in my head based of these things for fun and this one got me good

when all healthy

You answered your own question about why people are lukewarm on the off-season.

Kyrie has been injured every season since he left high school.

Love has a history of injuries (whether he finds them or they find him).

Andy hasn't had a healthy season since Lebron was here the first time.

Lebron needs more rest moving forward.

Yet all we have done this off-season is bring back Mo, who is one of the worst playoff performers in NBA history (and given Kyrie's health most likely will be thrust into a starting job at some point).

People are nervous about this off-season so far because on a team that relies so heavily on guys that are unreliable, their back-ups are awful freaking important. Little has been done in that regard.

You can go on hanging your hat on our record when healthy, but the rest of us in realityville (where we know that injuries will happen with this group) will keep waiting for reinforcements that don't leave us in the same position we were last year where Lebron has to almost kill himself to keep us competitive when the injuries inevitably come (and they will come).

Meanwhile Dallas is still screwed. I actually feel for them as they are one of the more easy going teams in the NBA.

Or Andy is just trolling every single one of us and sitting back laughing while we speculate something that didn't happen

Go ahead and tell me how we sign players...I'll wait....still waiting....waiting more...

I get that you are the most pessimistic poster on this board by a long-shot, and I seriously question why you post at a site called RealCavsFans when I have never seen you say a single positive thing about the Cavs, all while jerking off every other team and their players any chance you can get...but even you should have known that they don't exactly have the option to add more players. Also, bringing up Mo's play when a #2 option on a team is hilarious...not even worth my time.

Also, you can't predict injuries in sports. "If healthy" have to be 2 of the most frequently said words in sports, because literally every team is saying the same thing before the season. Also, you were just pumping up OKC in this very thread, and they had the same exact issues as us last season, and KD and Russell have been hurt before in their careers. But, again, they aren't the Cavs, so you can say positive things about them.

Well he is pulling a Wade and wants that max deal like every big seems to want.

Operating under the assumption that three key contributors will be out each playoffs is stupid.

Secondly, for any current team in the NBA is happened to, regardless of their depth, losing their second/third best player plus a player like Andy would cripple them.

Pick a any team in the NBA, remove their second best player, their third best player, and a veteran rotation player and tell me with a straight face they even make the finals.

Your grasp on our roster and our place in the league is severely clouded by the negative mentality you bring to most threads over the years.
