Trade Deadline ––> Waiver/Buyout Deadline 2015 (March 1)

[roozy]

Team really needs a backup big and point guard, soon as Mozgov sat due to foul trouble they ate us alive on the boards. As much as I like Delly he offers no penetration and its killing the second unit, Delly works better as a small shooting guard.

 

[Binkster]

We need another big but can we please not overreact and throw out desperate statements after 1 loss (on the second night of a back to back on the road with our starting power forward out the day before the all star break)?

 

[spydy13]

@SanduskyCav said it well, but I really hope that tonight drilled into the FO's head that getting a big is the most important priority right now. If one of those guys goes down we are completely fucked, and will not make it past Chicago if/when we play them in the playoffs.

Fuck old PGs, Griff. We need a damn big.

 

[tristan+kyrie=$]

Time for RCF to go on a manhunt for a scrap heap big!

 

[I'mWithDan]

Honestly, I would love Amare at this point.

He's at least a serviceable backup at the PF position.

Backup PG is WAY behind a backup big IMO.

If we take on someone like Nelson / Allen, at the expense of any 4 or 5 with a pulse, I think it is a big mistake.

 

[Real Deal]

Big is definitely the route to go. Lets put it like this, we can deal with Delly more than Brendan Haywood.

 

[Ohio]

For the love of god, get another big in here. Come playoff time, Delly's 10 minutes a night won't be a problem at all. We will need a 4th big for the playoffs.

 

[The Red Viper]

A fourth big who can give a decent 10 odd minutes a game is an absolute necessity. One injury to either Love/Mozgov/TT and the frontline becomes flawed, especially with Mozgov's tendency to get in foul troubles.

 

[Crosby_Cavs]

Just wait for Amare buy-out and take him. Like someone said, Mozgod foul trouble is killing us.

 

[Green Lantern]

I don't see a need a for Ray Allen at this point.
I have already said the Cavs need another center/PF and a backup PG.
I don't think they need to trade for either ..just pickup someone who's been waived.

 

[Jscc]

We don't need a PF nor an active C for that matter.. just a body that can matchup. If Brendan Haywood wasn't a corpse, he would've been fine.

 

[PeonHaiters]

Is Brittney Griner available?

 

[citizentino]

For those clamoring for a backup big after last night's game, you're not exactly wrong in that line of thinking. But I also think that if it was Kyrie who missed the game because of an eye injury instead of Love, the same crowd would have seen how that scenario played out and then freaked out about a competent backup PG being the bigger priority.

The truth is we have a need for both and the assets (asset?) to acquire one (maybe).

 

[Toph]

Trade deadline thread is only 2 pages with 5 days until the deadline. Shows how far we've come

So proud of myself because I didn't even know what day it was this year for the first time in awhile.

 

[secund2nun]

A backup big is by far the most important need this team has. We need a big for when Mozgov is on the bench, in foul trouble, or is hurt.
