2009 was our title man….What? It’s not like they’ve ever had a #1 pick that affected the Cavs in some way.
That was so painful.2009 was our title man….
That one hurts worse than any finals loss…
If we’re being honest, Anderson is better than Jordan.Blah blah blah
Blah blah blah
Who gave this tool the keys to the car ?
I will be very depressed if Branham or Agbaji is the pick. The team needs a wing with size. Not another 6-5 Guard with limited playmaking and defensive questions. Yes people are hyping Agbajis defense but I'm not sold on it translating to the nba.
Yeah, we need a true sized SF. Sexton, Okoro, and LeVert can all be pushed around by true SFs. Need that true SF we can plug in for when match-ups make Lauri not viable at SF.
There's risk in getting someone simply for being a better athlete and 6'8"I will be very depressed if Branham or Agbaji is the pick. The team needs a wing with size.

Of course there's big reward as well if shotmaking or even playmaking develop as well.
A big concern I have is struggling to find a longterm legit 3rd scoring option, because as tight as defense gets in the playoffs from the result of great team defense being familiar with an opponent over 6-7 games you simply NEED to be able to score. I fear LeVert just isn't a good enough shooter and obv. we know that even with massive growth Okoro will never be a 3rd scoring option/shotmaker/playmaker. Because of that, even though I also naturally tend to gravitate towards the athletic profile of a Eason, Dieng, or Sochan, I am keeping my mind open to guys like TyTy, Branham, and Ochai.
It's not just about the roster puzzle piece to bridge this past season to next. It's about the long term fit and pieces to surround Garland and Mobley with and I do believe that a great shooting, offensively proficient shotmaker/playmaker is a KEY long term ingredient. I also wonder if it bears out that those guys are harder to find than athletic 3&D guys. Of course if I could be convinced that Eason or Sochan had Barnes/Kawhie total package upside reachability, it'd be a 100% no brainer. But can we really say that confidently about those guys?
