Wade gives you defense. Cleaningtheglass.com has the Cavaliers 6.1 points better defensively when Wade is on the floor, which is best on the team and in the 92nd percentile of the league. This year he's in the 84th percentile in blocks (among forwards), the 63rd percentile in steals, and the 82nd percentile in defensive rebounding.19-5 is correlation, not causation. It may just means that he gets yanked quickly when he sucks, and so that doesn't appear in the loss column. Or maybe that the vast majority of his minutes come only with the starters, so he's benefitting from their play rather than vice-versa. Who knows.
Regardless, he hasn't been nearly as effective after coming back from the injury as he was before, so season-ling stats in his case are rather worthless. Whether his shoulder is still bothering him, it is a confidence thing, or just a statistical anomaly doesn't really matter.
Once his three point shot becomes more consistent he will be a very valuable asset of the bench. Those who laughed at his selection in this last draft are clueless. The guy can play. The G League really helped develop his game moreIsaiah’s game seems to fit either Allen and Mobley very well. Would love to give him a shot as our first big off the bench next year.

Oh, they laughed. Should have seen the reaction to the Mitchell trade. Give it some time . . .People laughed? Shame on them. It was a natural pick.
There are always people who howl about big trades. My only concern when I heard it was whether Mitchell wanted to play for the Cavs. Didn't like losing Markannen, but that was probably the price that had to be paid.Oh, they laughed.

Anybody notice the difference? 31 assists spread out amongst EVERY player who took the floor.Will the ball actually be passed tonight? Will their be something recognizable as an offense? Stay tuned. Might be the most fun game of the season.

I was very pro the Isaiah Mobley pick but kind of concerned by how he looked in summer league, especially given that he had several years in college. Apparently a good showing last night although I couldn’t watch…how was he defensively?
My point is if the best players played like that they’d be even better as a team. Like maybe go a long ways in the playoffs. Pretty simple idea.Against an Orlando team that didn’t give a shit. What’s your point? Do you think we should bench all of our starters so we get more assists per game?
