Andre Drummond has made $143,432,017 so far; I’m sure he’s getting by. Also, he’s 12th in rebounds all-time in the NBA
Your sentiments perfectly align with mine on all points. Things change. Okoro is a keeper and Garland is a bleeperMerrill was awful. I appreciate him not being shy, but I'm guessing your odds of winning are very small when you have a guy shoot 0-9 from 3.
CPJ was very good, so naturally he plays reduced minutes. No need to give a guy with fresh legs more run on the 2nd night of a back to back. Much better to overplay a gassed Levert who played like shit down the stretch.
I never thought I'd see the day that I'd straight-faced say I'd move Garland before Okoro. I don't know what the deal is with Garland, but we are in big, big trouble if he doesn't take his game up several notches before the playoffs. He had a couple big nights hitting 3s last week, but his floor game and control of the offense right now is ugly. His play in the final minutes is almost catastrophic. Is he banged up? Afraid of getting banged up?
He is like the basketball equivalent of a running back that's always trying to turn a solid gain into a homerun by running east/west until he gets dropped for a loss. Just make the easy plays. Be direct. Look at what Porter did tonight and do that, but sprinkle in your 3 point shot making.
I'd like to see this team with a playoff-experienced coach before the core is broken up.I’m totally ready to move Garland and Mobley for the best possible lengthy wing.
Mitchell-Okoro-AS SF-Wade-Allen
is an awesome starting 5, especially in the hands of a different coach.
Agreed. A new coach is the first order of business; maybe he can get all the pieces working in concert before we start moving playersI'd like to see this team with a playoff-experienced coach before the core is broken up.

Disappointing loss considering we pulled even for a good stretch in the 4th quarter; and considering a win would’ve pulled us into a tie with the Bucks for now (with a chance to take sole possession of 2nd if the Warriors beat them later tonight)
No they did not play well in the 4th. Fell down 95-93 and JB panicked. Except Garland and LeVert had nothing in the tank.Disappointing loss considering we pulled even for a good stretch in the 4th quarter; and considering a win would’ve pulled us into a tie with the Bucks for now (with a chance to take sole possession of 2nd if the Warriors beat them later tonight)
I don't know about this, Mobley's ceiling is still probably higher than JA's, but you'd probably get more value out of JA.Trade Mobley too.
Yeah dipper. Mitchell got hurt in the most intense part of the season. I mean, Garland is one of the worst b/b guys in the nba. He always does better with rest. It's why JB is a clown.Cavs now 4-5 over their last 9, with losses to the depleted Sixers, depleted Knicks, the Magic and 2 sub .500 teams in the Hawks and Bulls. And….2 of those wins came from a miraculous 60 point shot at the buzzer and a miraculous 20 point 4th quarter explosion by Dean Wade ….otherwise you’re looking at 2-7
Unfortunately, not always easy to findSo important they find a coach like Kerr
Need a guy that looks at 1-12 can help on any given night. Develops and play a 10 man every night.
One of the things that drove me crazy when we would play Golden State. Kerr always had great rotations and gave his stars rest. His bench was always ready to produce when called upon.
Kerr also gets his team buckets out of timeouts
Absolutely essential the team plays 1-10 because they don’t have a LeBron, Giannis to run everything through
