So now there will be a coaching change. OK, I hope that works.
But I think we now have an opportunity to re-assess exactly where we are, and how to move on from here.
Here is the major thing that changed.
The Cavs surprised themselves by acquiring an all-star quality center in Andre Drummond.
We also have a former all-star in Kevin Love. Perhaps Love could be energized by a traditional NBA groomed coach, and not a college coach. If nobody wants his contact, maybe we should make the most of his talents.
We also have another quality big man in Tristan Thompson. In fact, the Drummond/Thompson duo may be more effective together on the same team than elsewhere. Right now, the chances of resigning TT are probably less than 50/50. But we will see what plays out.
We also have a very fast rising player in KPJ.
We also have 2 undersized, but talented guards.
So I guess what I am saying is maybe this is an opportunity to try and contend NEXT season. No, maybe not a title contender, but maybe be a playoff team. Not just the 8th seed either.
We would obviously still need to improve the roster. (Perhaps split up our 2 undersized G in a trade with the Philly dumpster fire for Ben Simmons?)
Yeah, maybe I'm drinking the Kool aid, or maybe I see the glass as half full. All I am saying is that the cupboard is not bare. With smart moves, this can be a competitive team soon.
