Darius Kinnard Garland

[weepinwillow]

I'm fine w/Garland. He moves the ball, can shoot it, has some nice change of pace handles that are hard to stay in front of, needs to take the shot when they go under the pick more, needs to not give up defensively on plays and he needs to push the ball up court more (by pass or dribble) so the Cavs can play with better pace. (both DG and Sexton kill the pace for the offense in their own ubiquitous ways)
He's going to end up somewhere on the "Good starting PG" (basically where he is now) to "borderline All Star PG" spectrum for his career. He wants to play a bit like Steve Nash, in that he likes circling through the defense to force a passing lane open. Has a ways to go to be Nash-like, but it should be noted it took Steve about 4 years to be Nash-like too.
I'll leave the Alpha/Beta stuff to subreddit gamer-boy trolls with a penchant for Pepe and a misunderstanding of Nietzsche.

I am insulted. I misunderstand Foucault too.

I have a bad feeling that all of this accolades without actual games to back it up is gonna bite the Cavs in the end... Klutch is gonna ask for max extension (holdout strategy if needed) even if he has an average season.... If Garland doesn't get traded or have an ok season, Cavs better get ready....

Exactly. Some people shouldn’t be banned IMHO because they’re more comedy than aggravation, although I know not everyone sees it that way.

Thats why we aim to only ban in extreme circumstances of attacking other posters.

Hot-takes keep everyone warm on cold days.

Nothing wrong with a little diversification of opinions across this forum.

Been my complaint about the board for a season.

Garland made 3 straight bad plays that effectively ended the game.

If that had been Sextons last two minutes this thread would be on fire demanding a trade.

Garlands thread still doesn't have a post in it though since Monday.

I’m being genuine, what were the bad plays?

I watched the game, and didn’t notice anything outside of a missed shot, which isn’t what I would consider a bad play.
Garland entered the game with us down 14. We cut it to 1, and then it slipped away. I honestly don’t think anyone was specifically to blame.

Look who you're talking to. Rich masturbates to negativity. He doesn't really have any credibility as an actual basketball observer, he's just looking to be as negative as possible about every situation. I would put him on ignore, but it's comedy most of the time.

If he has an average season, and is insisting on a max deal afterwards, you trade him. You can't pay average players max money without having a bad team comprised of players on untradeable contracts. But, right now, the Cavs have more immediate issues that need to be addressed.

I wish there were a way to award "Reddit Gold" for this comment LOL. Frankly, a healthy, engaged Garland could be much like what Rubio is showing on this team. Having 2 guards with this ability is good for the Cavs.

Since we're talking trade value.... SAC is sitting on a glut of guards (one of whom we should have drafted). One of them and Barnes would be a dream deal if we had to deal.

Okay, this is just a purely personal attack, without any commentary on actual basketball at all. You probably should stay away from that.
