I would rather sign Garland to 38 million dollar deal than trade for Lavert. I would rather blow up the outside world than trade for Lavert.
And don't look now, but Charlotte is now 0.5 games out of 6th place. Avoiding the play in is anything but secured for the Cavs at this point.If we traded for LeVert that would be $18.8 M we would have to pay him next year. In that case I'm sure we would trade Sexton.
Miami, Chicago, and Philly all lost tonight. OKC got blown out by Charlotte.

I think a big part of this the fact Rubio is out and we do not have a PG who can distribute right now with Rondo out. We also just got off a brutal stretch of games on the road with little rest. I think for both Love and Cedi they need to be in rythem to play the best and with a lack of a creator it has hurt them. I think after this little break and getting back to playing more home games we will start to see them turn it around. The entire team looked burned out against the Bulls.Not to be the harbinger of doom, but... if Love and Cedi don't start hitting their shots soon, there will be more losses coming up.
Over the last 7 games, these guys are averaging almost 10 3pt attempts between them. Cedi is shooting a nausea-inducing 16% and Love is at 28%.
With Okoro remaing a total non-factor on the perimeter, we just can't deal with that kind of bricklaying from our top bench scoring options. The fact that Markkanen has been red hot (and has increased his 3PA's of late) has alleviated the problem somewhat, but he'll come back down to earth.
By contrast, Windler is shooting 50% in January, but he's still getting only a couple of shots per game. That doesn't make any sense. We have to find this guy more looks. It's not just about scoring from the perimeter – it's almost as much about spacing. It's getting awfully crowded inside for Allen and Mobley.
IMO Love's minutes need to be cut drastically or the guy needs a couple of games off. Wade should be getting PT, and Windler has to play more in Isaac's spot.
I agree this team needs decent three point shooting from somewhere to help with spacing and to keep the paint open. And, I've seen you acknowledge in past posts that players do go through streaks, and ups and downs over the course of the season.Not to be the harbinger of doom, but... if Love and Cedi don't start hitting their shots soon, there will be more losses coming up.

The way Love has been playing lately, Wade can easily fill in for him.The only problem with giving guys nights off is how tight the East is, a bad week and the Cavs could easily be down in 7th with 3 teams closing on them. I like the play in as a concept but not this year damm it.
Wade's career average from range isn't much better than Love in a slump, Love is more versatile offensively, and Love won't stay in a slump forever.The way Love has been playing lately, Wade can easily fill in for him.
