2021-2022 NBA Regular Season

Is that a reported offer or just a hypothetical? I’d love to see the Cavs get involved in that to land Kuminga, a young athletic wing who would look great here. Maybe for Garland?

I’m not trading Garland for that non shooter…….I’m keeping my eyes out for Reddish……Hell I traded unprotected first for Miles……

Ah Delonte, I hope you finally find the help you need.

Delonte West Went On Anti-Gay Rant, Claimed He's 'Better Than LeBron' During Arrest

Delonte West repeatedly hurled homophobic slurs and said he was a better basketball player than LeBron James during his arrest last week, video shows.

Some serious mental health issues mixed in with substance abuse. Delonte’s case is so tough to call because you can’t get a behavioral baseline on him. Is his mental health THAT bad or are the SXs made worst and being driven by the substance use. To find out he would have to be admitted on a 5150 hold, completely detoxed and then have a complete psych eval and work up done. We are talking at least a 30-45 day stay which would entail a judge signing off on that action.

Unfortunately, the Hawks have no need for Garland or Sexton and I just don’t see a match there.

KPJ could break the record for most turnovers in a season? Some of his turnovers are bad, passes that just arent there, very loose with the ball too

Just a reminder to be slow with takes early in the season.

There's multiple guys who have looked like rotational players looking like surefire all-stars right now.

This happens every year.

Give it a bit.

 

[cavsfever]

Every year it takes a few weeks for teams to find themselves and the cream to rise to the top. There are always a few sucky teams that look great in October and vice versa

with that said I would bet against the Lakers to make the Finals based on what I’ve seen already

Yeah, KPJ is not a point guard and the Rockets are trying to make him one.

Watched a bit of the Philly- NYK game last night long
enough to see Drummond miss a contested shot
while falling to the court. His man ran the floor for
an easy bucket with Dre barely at half court, not
watching the play but glaring at the official
who didn't give him a call on the other end.
Dre continued glaring at the official until
Philly called time out .

So glad he isn't our problem anymore.

Pretty sure last year I claimed the rebuild worked and Altman was a genius.

So yeah, maybe just pump the breaks quite a bit.

Dodged a bullet with him not taking the 4 year version of Allen's deal

Jalen Green is problematic as a prospect to me. There are several reasons for it.

Firstly, intangibles. He doesn't have them. He plays for himself only. He lacks leadership. He doesn't work on the floor.. he just free roams and takes ill advises shots all night. Sometimes they fall, sometimes they don't...it's never in the flaw of the offense. For the record, the Rockets miss proper PG play...but I think that's his own tendency, although it probably exacerbates things.

He is very weak and it shows on both ends; Offensively, he just can't finish inside despite his athleticism. The reach and lack of strength is a huge issue. And his frame isn't really good to add on some good pounds. Get this, he has yet to attempt a FT in 4 games. He barely goes inside and when he does he avoids contact. He just settles for really tough shots behind the arc for most of the time.

Defensively, he gets bullied. There were a few instances when Doncic actually wanted to play hard and Jalen was on him and Luka basically made him his bitch in the post. From the top of the key to under the basket in a sec and he had to foul. He can't guard any switch and he isn't too good defending his own position either.

He is a putrid rebounder. That even goes back to the intangibles...cause the dude is kind of an astronaut. He loses his assignments and I have seen teammates actually tell him who to guard multiple times because he had no idea. So as far as rebounding goes, he doesn't box out.... he just stands there and actively spends his time outside of the action. He is also a target for backdoor cuts because of how zoned out he is.

I dunno... he is super streaky, and he relies soley on his jumpshots, and even when he is on, it still feels like he lacks the impact because he gives up a lot on the other end and his scoring so far doesn't seem to be a part of the actual offense.

IF Koby really wanted to pick him ahead of Mobley, Cavs got really, really lucky. He doesn't fit with any of our guards. That would have been a monumental failure.

See above for holding off on scorching hot takes.

Lol, have you even watched him?

That is no hot take.. that is how he plays right now. may change or not, but that's how it is lol.

Green will be a good player, i watched a game, he looks like a rookie in the first month after being only one year removed from high school.

He is athletic, can shoot, natural scorer. Will he be a sure fire all star? Too early to tell, but i think you were harsh on him all things considered.

But your last line very true. Mobley was by far my favorite prospect in this draft, not a close 2nd for me and Mobley has looked better than expected this early.
