Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Everyone wants those players lol.
Was gong to say the same lol

A guy who can defend and shoots well? Sign me up! What GM doesn't want that type of player.
 
Shocking how many teams have them though... Look at a guy like PJ Washington.

What makes you think PJ Washington is a positive defender?

The Cavs traded their shooting for Mitchell. That's what happened.

In hindsight, would they like to take the trade for LeVert back? I'm sure they would.

But they made the move for Mitchell, this is the team they've got now. See if they can figure out better fitting players in the offseason.
 
Lol so did I, he’s been horrible.
Yeah never putting anything on him again. His burnt me on points which is usually +14.5 several times, thought with Allen missing he could at least muster up 10 points and ten board but dude decided to pull his panties down and let who ever their back up big have his way with him.
 
Please, posters - stop with the “refs” posts. Real, legitimate good teams bury lottery teams and don’t give the refs a chance to have an impact

This is all on the Cavs
 
Great defense to end the 3rd and went on 8-0 run to single digits
 
This team plays like a team that thinks they are the 2014-2018 CAVS. They feel they just turn it on for 5 minutes and when the game. I thought this was supposed to be a young hungry team.

Agree completely. Cavs have fouls because they are being out hustled & out worked.

For once I think the officials have been pretty good this game. They're in mess due to lack of preparation, terrible rotations, and fucking around and finding out. No one too blame but themselves minus DG
 
After 2011 at the latest Wade was much diminished by those knee injuries. Still good but far from his hall of fame peak.

AD during the bubble playoffs in 2020, when he was fully healthy, also has a claim to being Lebron’s best sidekick, but it didn’t last long
Bubble AD was a monster, but 2016 Kyrie hit a game winning three in Game 7 on the road against the all time winningest team in NBA history, two games after dropping 41 on them at Oracle.

I’m going with Kyrie for this one.
 
Need a new coach and a GM who knows how to build a team around specific players (hint, find shooters who aren't net negative defenders).
No chance they're both gone.

JBB will be first to go of the two.

Koby made the move to get Mitchell at the cost of depth and assets + lost Love's 2021-2022 excellent production. He will be given the offseason to attempt to address what you're asking for.

If he fails, I think he's gone after 2023-2024

JBB probably back unless we're just run off the court in the first round in a way that Koby specifically takes issue with in terms of personnel.,

One big question is what degree of involvement/power Dan still has or chooses to exercise. The Cavs have worked hard to fight a perception that was created between 2010-2019 that they run through coaches at a crazy rate of 7 coaches in 9 years. I think they still might want to give this staff one more year with roster additions(not saying if its deserved or not) before finding out what the open market of NBA coaching candidates think of the organization(?)

Or am I crazy and the appeal of the top heavy portion of the roster outweighs that previous instability stain?
