2021-2022 Cavaliers General Discussion: Trade Deadline Edition

[Man Called X]

Did Denzel Valentine fuck your wife or your mother? Getting angry over someone having an avatar of the 14th or 15th man on the roster just seems odd.

It's a shtick. I'm obviously not mad that dude has a Denzel Valentine avatar. But my signature does say I have an irrational hatred for the man.

Denzel’s a delight. He’s a rapper, he takes three pointers on 1-on-3 fast breaks, he has the ankles and knees of an arthritic 80 year old man.

As long as he never plays when there’s something on the line, I don’t mind him. The fact that he’s in the league is a healthy reminder of the randomness of life.

He's a terrible terrible rapper. Shouldn't be allowed to call yourself a rapper if the complexity of your bars sounds like my 8 year old playing jump rope. I think the fact that he's in the NBA just shows how much of a cruel joke life actually is.

 

[Man Called X]

He takes delight in his teammates getting posterized as well

Picture time.

I know @Man Called X , if Denzel fucked his mom he would be happy for his mom getting some, if he fucked his wife, Denzel wouldnt be able to walk anymore, lol

I don’t see a world where Okoro, Sexton and Garland work together. I don’t think our FO or JBB does either.

Even if they don't, shouldn't they at least try to develop them like they are expected to work together? We saw that the trade market and free agency isn't going to net us what we need with what we have. I don't think Koby and JBB have a real plan to develop anyone which is why we are seeing players work on their strengths but aren't making much progress on their weaknesses.

Fucking my mom would imply he fucked a box of ashes that's been in a mausoleum for 25 years lol. I can almost assure you that would involve ritualistic murder.

The way I see it is have any of our players dramatically improved under JBB? He’s supposed to be a developmental players coach but I don’t see any evidence of players improving individually or in a system besides from the normal improvements that come with getting older. I feel like certain players like Allen and Cedi have regressed even.

I think we've all been saying that DG just needs to take more open 3's and it would solve alot of issues. I'm just a fan that wants to see the team win.

I know it's only 2 preseason games, but leave Darius alone. Look at this shit! This is our premier point guard prospect! What are we doing?!

View attachment 6661

He's barely shooting. He has mostly just looked to get others involved. When you don't shoot much your Usage is down. Like Lauri does not have the ball more than Darius.

Rubio has had the ball more than Sexton, but Sexton shoots.

 

[Derek]

Couldn’t watch the game tonight, so I won’t comment on what appears to have been a rough night for a couple guys on which our success is dependent.

I do need to remind myself that this is only preseason, and historically, there hasn’t been much of a connection between preseason success and in-season success.

Still, if somebody offered me the opportunity to do a hard reset tomorrow with just Mobley and Rubio, I wouldn’t hesitate to do it.

My overreaction…. Garland,Sexton and Okoro in the starting lineup would not result to winning…. Need 2 of them traded, the one left relegated to the 2nd unit

Sexton will turn it on in the regular season. Thats my guess. Im extremely biased as hes my fave player and I feel all teams need a scoring guard so take what I said how you want to



If we are talking starting lineups, I just cannot include Sexton the way hes played so far. Rubio and Garland just looked too damn good

Outside the Cavs I don't believe Okoro would be a starter for any other team in the league. Unfortunately I think JBB is going to try and use him as some sort of security blanket and give him a bunch of unearned minutes. They should be able to stagger Sexton, Garland, and Rubio as all 3 have NBA offensive skills. I'm beginning to think Rubio needs to be in the starting lineup in order to run an NBA offense and to help in the development of Mobley.
