Who saying build a team around just himIt is not about embracing Colin. No one questions his dedication to the game, his natural talent or even what he has done during his time in Cleveland.
It is about trying to determine the best path forward for the organization and how Colin's fits into the future.
Can you build a franchise around a 6'1" shooting guard? If you give a guy like Colin a max deal in in 2023, does he provide enough to offset the opportunity costs of having that kind of money tied up in one player?
Those types of questions are not being asked because Cavs fans are not embracing Colin, rather, they are being asked because the Cavs are not a good nor are they close to being a good basketball team.
The discussion is simple. Colin plays for a bad team. On bad teams, someone has to take shots and score points. Colin is both the primary shot-taker and scorer on said bad team. Trying to figure out how that translates to a good team is certainly fair especially since you also have determine how to allocate limited future resources (salary cap).
Your going to build it around Sexland okoro Allen and nance
I think we picked up some decent bench players in hartenstein Wade and stevens
have a 5-6 lottery pick coming in. Maybe a Solid non all star fa in the off season.
