Love dissatisfaction with CAVs

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
They just signed Levi Randolph (6'6") and I'm not sure what this means but I do know @Sir'Dom Pointer will have to keep waiting sadly.

I can buy cutting McKinney. But why convert Cooks contract just to cut him? It makes no sense. Unless you need a roster spot. I think something is up.

I think this is it


That means he is way more likely to clear waivers so they can re-sign him. It's why they didn't do it for Dean Wade. Wade would have been more likely to get picked up by someone IMO even on an NBA contract
 
Randolph blows. I am on the give Sir’Dom a chance train if this is the type of player we are signing.

I am on the train to sign anyone under the age of 25 to a two way deal. So that rules scrubs like Randolph and Pointer out. This is a frustrating move. At the most they should have signed Randolph to a 10 day if they wanted a warm body at the end of the bench until KPJ comes back.
 
Someone want to educate me on why they just stick with their own affiliate? I’d give 10 day contract left and right until I found a gem.

I feel like they sometimes use 10 days as rewards for the G-league guys who have been loyal or played well. Also they were up against the luxury tax last year so I'm not sure they were really looking for talent.

Hopefully they will have the room after the deadline to cycle thru guys in the second half of the season.

My guess is they just converted Cooks contract to give him some extra money before they cut him.

Why are we always signing these 25+-year-old AAAA players? Are there no other, younger options out there in the G-League?

I think sometimes they just want a body that can fill in at practice or in the rotation. I don't think they want someone that is going to take away from the coaches attention of the young drafted guys we have on the roster. Someone they won't think twice about waiving especially with the trade deadline approaching.

It's like when the Cavs allowed Manny Harris to compete with Danny Green. I think Byron Scott seem to take a liking to Harris and they waived Green. I don't think the front office want to put a G-leaguer in front of Beilein that could possibly derail one of our young guys development.

Harris was younger then Green. And for what ever its worth people seem to forget how terrible Green was in Cleveland. Dude got outplayed by Manny Harris that preseason before getting cut.

That's true but I think if you look at the guys the Cavs have drafted and let go, the front office should come to the conclusion that they should trust their initial scouting of players and give them time. Danny Green, Joe Harris, and Dwight Powell were all good player they let go.

I do hope they do go after some more high upside players after the deadline especially at PF. Right now they should rather take flexibility especially with the increase urgency to move Love.

Letting Green was because he sucked for us. Then got into the Spurs developmental system and exploded. Good for him.

Weren't Harris and Powell both involved in cap clearing deals when Bron came back?

The consequences of letting Harris go are being very much felt these days....

The only reason they did what they did with Cook was that’s all they could do to switch Randolph and Cook around as 2 ways. I’m sure Cook got a little financial reward for signing. They knew Cook wouldn’t get signed to a guaranteed deal if he got waived. But maybe he would if they waived him as a 2 way. It seems like everybody hates Randolph but I think they might get surprised.
