There's no way this team counts on anything from Okoro the way they do LeVert. Okoro for all the love he has received here recently is just too undependable on the offensive end, he was not scored in double digits in the last 6 games. That's not easy to do as an NBA starter, and it should be doubly more difficult when the team's leading scorer was out most of those games. He's also hit just 4 of his last 16 three pointers. If they don't keep LeVert they need a guard who when forced to start can put in who can put in 15-20 on a regular basis and bring the ball up and serve as a secondary playmaker, things Okoro has shown zero ability at. LeVert is replaceable but not by Okoro's skillset.
NBA.com lists him as DNP-CD yesterday. Was it still back spasms, or was he held out?
Just a coaching decision. He went through warmups and everything and was available. It’s the right move too. Love needs to sit until he gets his shooting stroke back.NBA.com lists him as DNP-CD yesterday. Was it still back spasms, or was he held out?
He could be a diva/distraction. So far he appears to be a good teammate, even when not playing. And he still may have some basketball left in him. I wonder if this is his last year. I suspect no one will offer him enough money or enough meaningful playing time for him to go through the rigors of another season. When this contract is up, he will have made 266 million in his career just from salary. I would guess endorsements push that number past 300 million. In other words, he has more than he can spend. I bet this is it.Hes expensive for it this season, but as a situational 10th guy/4th big you could do way way worsr
No to Hayward. I live in the Charlotte TV market and Haward is unreliable, slow, plays no defense and his shot has been off. I don't even think he is an upgrade over Cedi. Charlotte would have to attach a first round pick to get rid of himjb told him that hes now a situational player...so the last month couldve been a back problem as opposed to the finger. ton of miles and injuries on him....bad back...cavs coudl dump him and cedi for washington and hayward....even throw in some seconds. gordon has 30mm next year but washington has 7 and is rfa wiht bird rihgts...pj could be a rodney rogers playing the 3 and 4.....same build... the cavs could get lucky and gordon might be able to make through this years playoffs at 25 min/game and next year 18....depending on matchups mobley slide to the 3 and pj at the 4.
could be the best deal for the cavs...lots of risk with gordon but a shitload of upside should hayward remain healthy...either wade or okoro down to 10 minutes/game in the playoffs.....which is exaclty where they belong..both these gjuys have no business whatsoever playing starter minutes in the playoffs
Yeah he shouldn't be above going in for mop duty. Maybe jb hasn't asked him, but just saying. Jb should ask him.Guess Love will only play now if Wade or Mobley is injured.
He shouldn’t be doing mop up.Yeah he shouldn't be above going in for mop duty. Maybe jb hasn't asked him, but just saying. Jb should ask him.
So, you don't play? You don't stay loose, ready, still going out there to prove you have to earn it every single day in any profession to this young team?He shouldn’t be doing mop up.
