2022 Off-season Thread - The Future is Bright

[Peacedog]

Very curious what will happen with our back-up PG situation. If Rubio returns, thats great, but we will need someone until the all star break to serve in his role until he's healthy. Do we trust Goodwin enough? Would we use pick #39 on a backup PG?

If not, the main free-agent options would be names like Tyus Jones, Schroder, Austin Rivers, Raul Neto?

I'd say pair Sexton and LeVert on the floor while DG rests. Should be fine for 20-25 games.

Good question. If Sexton returns, he could probably capably serve as a third guard/backup PG. I really think either LeVert or Sexton goes and, whoever does, could bring back a PG in a trade. Relying on a rookie PG could be tough unless the Cavs have alot of confidence in that guy.

I think this could work but I wouldn't rely on it because I think it would be a lost opportunity to develop a backup PG without putting much pressure on them. I'd use #39 to get a PG who hopefully has some height and length to potentially play another position while taking the point duties. Jordan Hall and Dalen Terry fit that bill.

Duncan Robinson - Caris LeVert swap. Who says no?

I don't want to pay a guy $20M per if he can't get on the floor in the playoffs.

I really hope the Cavs aren't going to waste their 2023 cap space by trading LeVert for Conley. Conley is pretty washed and while he'd be fine as a backup, he's way too expensive for that role. I use to be totally comfortable ignoring Fedor but then he actually got the LeVert trade right and now I'm worried.

The last 2nd rounder the Cavs picked that accomplished anything in a Cavs uniform was Daniel Gibson in 2006. (Yes I know a couple of their picks eventually succeeded with other teams) There is no way a team with playoff aspirations is drafting a point guard in the 2nd round expecting him to see any minutes at all. There's almost no way a 2nd rounder is making this team.

Sasha Kaun won a championship with us! The disrespect.

He was drafted by Seattle and then sold to us in what many refer to as the trade of the decade so you still have to go back to Boobie.
You have to give Kaun credit though. How many players in history sign their first contract, earn a ring and announce their retirement all within 10 months. He left on top.

What makes Koby think the Dubs are interested in moving him AND if they have the assets to get him????

 

[Jscc]

What does this even mean? And why would the Warriors trade their new all-star SF period? He's less than a year younger than LeVert [who we got for peanuts in comparison to what it would take to get Wiggins from GS].

 

[JJ_PR]

Wiggins doesn't fit our timeline & the Warriors probably want a king's ransom. Pass.

Hint…..The Dubs aren’t the least bit interested in trading him

The Cavs really haven't used their second round picks in the last 15 years. Cedi was a 2nd round pick. Danny Green and Joe Harris were second round picks that if we held them longer they probably would have given us something. Carrick Felix didn't work out. They seem to try to develop Pointer in Europe and the G-league but didn't work out. Macvan was a draft and stash.

Backup PG tends to be the position that 2nd round picks tend to have the best success rate across the league.

I would rather they take some shots in the 2nd round than just filling our 2 way contracts with undrafted free agents.

The Warriors might have to pick a horse between Poole and Wiggins unless they want to have a $200M payroll and the repeater tax penalties that come with it. They'd probably want No. 14 and Love, or just LeVert and Windler if the owner is already crying uncle. I'd be fine with it but Wiggins is still overpaid. He's just in the perfect scenario now.
