2021-2022 Cavaliers General Discussion: Trade Deadline Edition

[avs2000]

Here's an interesting look back, just so we realize exactly where we are, and how far we've come.

15 years ago the Cavs rolled out a team that looked like this:
Lebron
Eric Snow
Drew Gooden
Larry Hughes
Z

That team won 50 games that season. They won their 25 game of the season on January 26th. That team also went to the Finals. Loosing to the Spurs.
This years edition of the Cavs won their 25th game on January 14th.

Now I don't know if we're going to the Finals this year, but if you look at that old Cavs roster, I think LBJ is the only player that could hang with us.

Z was really good imo. But I love this current Cavs roster

Just think, when Mobley went down the 1st time, we were 9-10 on the season. We've been decimated by covid & injuries and here we are 2.5 GB of 1st place in the EC.

De'Ron Sharpe, Kessler Edwards, Blake Griffin are about to have a nightmare on Monday.

Claxton may play (was questionable tonight). Thinking Aldridge and his B.S. contested/uncontested/whatever midrange shots will be out along with KD.

Harden/Kyrie will have to carry. Best of luck.

I like the Cavs chances but it's extra tough coming back after a long road trip.

[Mr. Orange]

They showed a lot on this road trip. Best team in Cleveland and it’s not even close.

Having said that, this team desperately needs a second creator on the wing who is a two way player. It’s ain’t Issac, and it ain’t Colin. Go find em Koby.

Guess we won't get to see Mobley's defense on KD. Oh well. DG vs. Kyrie should be fun [DG is likely gassed going into this though].

I still want to see us beat a healthy or semi healthy top tier team. I understand we’re hurting but I still really want to see that happen. We lost to GS Utah when they had gobert and Memphis.

I have the Cavs around the 10th best team in the league. So understandable to lose to the ones above us. Just sorely need that two way wing if we want to compete w the top tier like you say.

Do not need ANYTHING, except time and good health.

I don't care if they beat teams healthy, or not. I just want to see them stack wins. I don't mind losing to the top teams, but I'd prefer to learn from any win.

This team isn't a true contender right now. I still think they're at least a year away. They aren't quite Memphis. Considering none of their starters can rent a car without parental consent, that shouldn't be an issue.

I still don't think Memphis is as close as they look right now. I think they're a team that could upset a contender but not sustain a full playoff run. I think they're a piece away.

Where as I think we are a piece away from being a piece away. With Rubio & Sexton, I think we are neck & neck with Memphis.

Nothing wrong with that placement. They’re extremely young and dealing with injuries.
This is also why I don’t want Koby going crazy this year with moving assets. They still don’t know what the team’s ceiling is yet. The next big move is for championships. We should be confident that Koby will do that.

Not sure what to make of her- she’s monotone and her excitement seems forced. She is pretty hot though…

The East is up for grabs yall.
