Wrong. 90% luckMore like they were never that good. Lockout or no lockout. Being able to stay healthy is a skill.

Oh no, I think Windler will break his own kneecaps.You want Windler to break Lauri's kneecaps?
Wtf man, that seems a little harsh, going all Tonya Harding on him for a starting job. Smh...
Thanks for the hot take. Vegas has the Cavs as 7 point favorites.
You said: “In regards to making a trade, I'd be hesitant unless the price is right. I'm not giving up our draft picks this year. They're too valuable. Eric Gordon is a name thrown around, but he's 33 & has a long history of injuries. I wouldn't trade Rubio for him at all even if they were the ones offering draft compensation.”Some thoughts on the Cavaliers from a fan perspective:
- Garland is a max player. There's no doubt about it. Once he's eligible for an extension, the Cavs brass should rush to his house & offer it, similar to how they did with Irving in 2014.
- My offer for Rubio would be 4 years, $50 million. I think that's a fair contract for both sides. I really hope we bring him back. With Sexton returning from injury, Rubio's minutes will be reduced.
- As for Sexton, I'd offer him the same contract Allen got. 5 years, $100 million with a 5% increase per year. I think it's a lot of money, but the upside is huge.

- The Kevin Love situation is a bit confusing. Somehow, he's come back to life this year. That said, his past tells you that it might be a fluke. He's been a non-factor since he signed that extension, aside from a good stretch this season. Maybe he's eyeing one last contract. If we get expirings for him, I'd send him straight to the airport. We're flirting with being a tax team, that money can be better used elsewhere, & we could avoid being above it one extra year which could be huge down the road.
- One more thing: Is it possible that the Cavs sign a player of Puerto Rican descent? Examples are Moe Harkless & Shabazz Napier. I think both those guys are good bench players. Napier would be a major upgrade over Pangos. The reason I mention this is because I live in Puerto Rico & our local channels tend to favor teams that have these guys (especially in the MLB). It's weird though because this year, we haven't gotten any Kings games. Maybe it's because Harkless is somewhat irrelevant. Napier played for the Puerto Rican national team so I bet he'd get y'all more air time here, which is good for me.
Futuredome turned out to be closer than Vegas on this one, gotta credit him.
You can let him know when he’s allowed back on the board.
Grayson Allens history is interesting. If you look at all those clips it looks like that dude has some serious mental issues and shouldn't be playing professional basketball.

For good reason, if you look at today’s game thread. Had nothing to do with his Cavs takes.He got banned? I liked him, he was entertaining. I like different perspectives even when they're wrong
I agree with all this except the last point. We won't be able to trade him (no one wants that contract) without also giving up assets. The difference between this year and recent years with Love is his attitude has changed. He is having fun again and is a great mentor for our young guys. His play isn't a fluke at all -- he has always been an elite defensive rebounder and three point shooter. He is important to this team, even if he only plays 20 minutes per night.Some thoughts on the Cavaliers from a fan perspective:

Yep. An undermanned Cavs team beating a healthy Knicks team, that made the playoffs just a year ago, shows just how improved and how good this team is. They play hard, they have a high basketball IQ, and making winning plays just comes easy & natural to them. I still think we're probably a year away from an actual Finals run, but, with this group, who knows? They keep surprising me.We are missing prolly a quarter over the team and they still find ways to win. Fucking impressive. Who would’ve thought we would be at 29-19 at this point
