Cavs added Danny Green and Sam Merrill
Cavs lost Kevin Love

We've seen a couple games. What do you think?

A wash - none are/were seeing the court for us. But possibly a minor + if Kevin was going to sulk.
 
Nothing at all has happened either way to make an impact. So right now, it's a wash, but I think that's kinda obvious.

So if we're looking to the future, I'd side with worse? I just think Kevin Love has a likelier chance to still make an impact than Danny Green does.
 
Way worse
 
Well, if we would actually give some run to some of these guys, maybe we could find out. JBB gets into a zone that is stubborn. That doesn't make for a good coach.
 
I don't think either Green or Merrell are going to get into the rotation. I think there was a good chance JBB would have gone back to Love just because he was familiar with him. Not sure Love could have gotten back on track though.

Green and Merrell are guys you hope can stick and be around next year. Love was probably cooked. Ultimately I think it's a JBB problem with being able to trust his guys and figure out rotations.

None of the players are in our rotation, but Love is helping Miami lose, so we got slightly better since we are competing with Miami for seeding.

Love is fools gold at this point.
 
Let Green continue to rehab/strengthen that knee over the next couple weeks, slide him into our 8/9 spot in our rotation for the last 5 games or so. If it works, he'll play a big roll off the bench in the playoffs.
 
We don't know where we stand with Green and Merrill but my feeling is we're a bit better. We need more outside shooting now and going forward. Better give these guys some run (maybe against the Hornets) especially since everyone else shooting is near pitiful, other than our double D's that is.
