Do Not Sell My Personal Information

A lot of the bottom feeders are trying to position themselves for the chance to draft Victor W. Okoro, Stevens, Cedi, (expiring contracts) Love/ Windler, LaVert and Wade are all tradable assets (including available second round picks) to approach sellers at the deadline or before. This is when Koby (like Griffin) earns his money. Get creative!

Nobody wants Cedi, Stevens, Windler, or Love. LaVert will be a free agent at the end of the season so giving up a good player makes no sense when you can sign him for nothing.

Even if a team ends up with the worst record there is only a 14% chance of getting Victor.

I think we're stuck with what we have plus Rubio and Wade, but Kobe got us Allen and Mitchell so who knows?

I think if we trade for a bad contract we can get someone, have no idea who that would be, but that is the decision we will have to make.
 
I don't care what anyone says - I'll always love Kyrie and yes his jersey should be retired.

JB is still not using this roster correctly.

We should be going inside to set up the outside shooting. Allen should be our primary post-player with Mobley being 2nd. We have Mobley who can be our ball handler like Draymond Green in our half-court offense allowing Spidaland to play off the ball and spread out the offense with their jump shooting ability. Also, it's time to stop playing Lamar unless in a defensive possession after a Timeout. Neto gives u ball handling, a willingness to shoot, and good on-ball defense.

If I remember right we did this against Dallas the first time or whenever a team runs a lot zone D. Not used enough.
 
I still can't believe that in the year of our lord Two-Thousand and Twenty-Three that TJ fucken Warren popped off 23 points against our supposedly vaulted D. I feel like the defense despite what the stats say are the opposite of what we should be during in the modern NBA. Instead of wide open threes to scrubs we should be funneling people towards the free line into Mobley and JA.
 
I love you, Kyrie !!!
 
Brooklyn shot 30 threes. Only 4 of them were open. All the others had a hand in their face. When players are burying 3s over Mobley's out-stretched arm with hand in face, not much you can do. This wasn't like Toronto; that was bad defense. Most of Toronto's 3s were open.

This making 3s despite good defense problem is becoming frequent. I don't know how to fix it except trade 3s, which the Cavs can't really do unless Mitchell and Garland are having good shooting nights.

All valid points except Mobley as a ball handler. Have you seen him attempt to dribble?

His dribble to far away from his body which causes him to lose control…especially when he gets a little pressure.

A guy who shunned the region for 5 years after he forced his way out is hardly anyone’s idea of a hometown hero.

Yea, plus i never felt that he embraced being in Cleveland. I appreciate what he did for us but I don't get that Lebron feeling when i think of Kyrie. Hell, JR was more into the city of Cleveland than Kyrie (imo).
