^ This.

This doesn't happen if you don' blow a 22 point lead.

I read an article where the Cavs say they will not part with the pick for Jordan.

 

[OptimusPrime]

I'm ready. Find the trades for TT and JR. They're out there somewhere.

Have to give up the Brooklyn pick for anyone to take either of them.

Yea but things change when the team is in panic mode.. not saying they will trade for DJ or even give up the Brooklyn pick for anyone else.. but no way are things set in stone no matter what they say until the trade deadline is over..

 

[Certo17]

Forcing who. I mean LeBron can just say let's sign a deal and Gilbert would say you can do what you want with tbe Brklyn pick

Totally get what you are saying and I agree it would be so much better if he just did come out and say he will stay.. but I really doubt he even knows what he wants to do right now.. and you definitely can’t expect him to commit right now when the team is a fucking train wreck as of late.

I don't believe so.

I think with both, you could trade them plus Zicic or the Cavs own 2018, provided it facilitated the team receiving them also moving off a player or two they no longer want or have use for. But we'll see. Hopefully we're now at the point where the Cavs FO and Dan are aggressively trying to move both of them, whereas before I feel like they might have been protected by La Familia status

Mmmmmm..."when the team is in panic mode..."

No one is in panic mode. They just play average mid-season until the playoffs.... each and every frustrating year. Get used to it.

He was out.

The Pacers are joining my list of annoying regular season teams with the Rockets, and Raptors in terms of beating us in the regular season yet just seem to not do much in the post season.

their fans just constantly whine and talk about oladipo like he's jesus christ too. it's annoying.

 

[Coyote850]

He was out.

Yea, we figured that out about 4 pages back. Thanks for the insight.

It's passive aggressive LeBron. Who knows who he wants us to get but to me its clear he isn't happy with the roster.

Got to trade the pick, no matter what. It’s not even a can’t-miss player, anyway. The Cavs are going to spend years in the wilderness, no matter what. You have to go for broke, one last time. Just - please, please, please - you have to shit-can Lue. You have to take the keys away from him.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Nationally televised regular season win for the Cavs? Nah, they'e getting lit up. IT should sit this game too.

I don’t even think the Cavs can flip the switch anymore. That can no longer win when they want. They are a mess.

Pacers fans are probably my least favorite. They circle jerk to Oladipo like none other. Had some of them try saying that he's the MVP this season.

I agree they have to go for broke and have the Brooklyn pick on the table with pretty much the whole roster. I actually think a big trade like the one that brought in Delonte, Szczerbiak, and Ben Wallace is truly what this team needs. There is too much depth at the moment and it's only going to get worse when they are fully healthy.

Getting this team to a regular rotation size where players are getting minutes in the 30s will help with keeping guys in rhythm. Minutes are spread too thin right now. I'd give up some of the overall talent depth of this team to get the rotation depth to a higher level.

 

[Return of the King]

Well... at least we didn’t lose by 30 this time.

We instead lose a 22-0 run. Progress.
