Tyreke is complete trash not sure why people want him so bad but that would eat up the majority of the MLE we have not sure what they are doing but signing Green to the minimum isn't a bad move
Didn't say I hated it, just underwhelmed. To some degree it feels like reality is slapping us Cavs fans in the face after we talked ourselves into being able to sign better players to vet min contracts and pull off the huge trades to compete better with GS. I know I had myself believing that better players would come here to play with Lebron/Kyrie and take down the evil empire.
Calderon and Green move the needle zero, and very possibly lead to an even worse bench. Its not like we are improving on D or bringing in older but stud scorers. These are likely just more JAGs.
No real issue with adding Green for the min, just wish LeBron would talk to a few impact players.
Why are you trying to be logical with some of the others in here?What move have the Cavs realistically not made that has you so up in arms?
From all indications they went to the wall for Butler and George. For whatever reason, those teams refused to trade those guys to us. You can't fault the Cavs on that. Whether it was Kobe Altman, Griff, or Gilbert they put the offer out there for those two guys and the other team simply refused our deal.
Cant blame the Cavs there.
But what free agents did we not get? Nick Young? Omri Caspi? We couldn't use those guys against the Warriors....Im sorry but they would be TOTALLY unplayable on the floor for us against the Warriors.
I agree Calderon likely is probably a totally meaningless signing and odds are he doesn't even stay on the team for the duration of the season.
However, Jeff Green for the vet min is honestly a stroke of genius. He is exactly what the Cavs so badly need-LENGTH ON THE WINGS that isn't old man Richard Jefferson or NO HANDLE-Derik Williams.
As for the bench being worse? How can you say that because Deron Williams could not have been more useless against the Warriors if he tried. He was AWFUL!
Probably about testing for Diabetes

Casspi has performed well against GS. ne of the reasons they grabbed him.What move have the Cavs realistically not made that has you so up in arms?

Maybe I am just getting impatient. Maybe there is more to come that is going to help us close the gap. Its just, as of now, I am underwhelmed. I do not have a lot of faith that Jeff Green will outperform RJ, even at his advanced age.
Its not like I am freaking out, I am fine with Green on a vet min for a year. No big deal. I am just getting antsy watching the Rockets, Celtics, Spurs and Thunder make big moves while we make hopefully lateral moves. I hope these guys are an improvement for the bench, its very debatable.
