Are you kidding ? Of course he would wanted to be treated like Kyrie because we traded him for Kyrie and statistically he was a better player than Kyrie when the last season ends. I am not even talking about he was in 2nd all nba team and he was in the MVP conversations.
so you expected him to come here and act like he was nobody or a rookie right out of college ? and you wanted him to come off the bench for who ? Calderon or Rose... If you really were expecting that I think you are out of your mind. He had to do that for LA because Boston and Cavs pretty much killed his career together and he is in a desperate situation plus LA has a guy in his position drafted 2nd overall (I believe he is big bust who shoots FT less than%50) so they have to start that guy. But if they want to re-sign IT and I believe they will try, they will have to guarantee a starting spot for him next year.
this whole thing is on Lebron... He should have shown better leadership to integrate IT to the team and this could pay off since we clearly need a second scorer who can create his own shot when Lebron struggles and now this role belongs to Hood or JC and they never played a play-off game. I know everybody in Honeymoon mode after the trades but I believe we are in trouble, I hope I am wrong.
I will not stop saying that because that's I believe; We gave up on IT too early. He is fighter, he can create his own shot and he can feed guys in the paint. We gave up on him because Lebron did not want another leader in the team if it was about performance JR would be the first one to go. And if he decides to leave in the off season we wouldn't have any MVP type player who can lead this team.
PS: I think I should add this: Instead of expressing your opinion you can choose to be loser and click one of the buttons on the lower right like Funny, Disagree etc. So just act like your regular day as a loser. Oh and you can call IT as midget as well that would make you a big man.
You must have missed the part where IT played like the one of the worst players in the NBA for the Cavs, while simultaneously being a total cancer off the court.
The Cavs were absolutely right to give up on him. Even his "improved" play is not nearly good enough for a team with deep playoff aspirations. And his total lack of defense was a horrible fir on a team with so many poor defenders.
