I remember when we kept saying their D was the problem then, but because GM Lebronda said they needed a playmaker, they focused on playmaker and played him off the ball and they wonder why Deron played like trash. Just imagine if Kerr played Shaun L off the ball as a catch and shoot player. lol
Donlittle:
It seems I am the only one seeing things. How do you put three top players that like to be ball dominant in their hands? These guys can't really play off the ball.

Remember Goerge isn't a player like bosh or Garnett that can get theirs under the basket?

They might win with him, but it will take a long time I bet.

It's a hard offer to pass up honestly if it comes up, but I definitely wouldn't do it.

People forget the KD addition worked because dude only needs the ball for 4 seconds to be effective.
They'll believe the Warriors fans are just scared.. You see how all those things don't solve their defensive problems and rebounding issues when TT goes off.. I want them to go hard and all in for him. Spend all summer butthurt and crying and spend all season struggling.. Continue.. Okponu Franchise

Actually, this move would put PG on kevin durant, lebron can carry out other defensive duties. I want tavares as the rim protector.


This way we're more solid defensively. Our bench also needs restructuring.


Griffin has a lot of work to do but i trust him.

j.r Smith used to be considered a mad man, his s a champion now. am sure bron can make it work.

People were worried about how durant would fit in with the warriors. Great players always adjust, plus he has lebron.


Tavares got injured.

What of Anthony Davis?

I think he would be a great addition for the team if he could find a way to stay healthy. I don't mind we giving up Love. Dude, to me, is not meant for the big stage.
We need to do something about James Jones, Deron Williams and Dahntay Jones as well.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:40pm On Jun 14, 2017
Ersan:


Agreed. Lebron leveraged the front office into paying these bums too much. These guys are earning more than curry right now, i know he'll sign a contract soon but right now thats the situation.

Like KD is about to take a pay cut bron should take one too.

Only knicks are desperate enough to take TT and JR (I doubt they will + hes brons buddy) for melo and i honestly dont think melo is the right fit.


It would have to be a three or even four team trade for this to work. We need paul george and love to standard a chance.
That roster was not built for a dynasty IMHO. When you have 5 guys on 8 figure salaries there is going to be a price to pay.

Lebron would likely have Dan Gilbert pay more luxury tax. However the team as it is can't add PG. Something has to give.

Melo would be a disaster for the Cavs. You are better off standing pat. I would let go of the older bench vets if I could. Williams, Frye, Jefferson, Korver if possible and get younger guys who can contribute

The Defense is horrible too. I know they added KD but the Cavs tried to play like Golden State a little too much

Nope. My point is I will always be there to defend him.


Cleveland fans didn't follow him to Miami, they burnt his jersey and cursed him. They knew what would happen not only to the cavs but to the city in general, they weren't wrong.

What about the millions of NBA fans that hate him up till now for doing nothing wrong.

Like iverson warned him "they love you... But they're just waiting"


I love Kobe. My first favorite NBA superstar, many even bron and Jordan fans loved him. Defended him when you know what happened. Imagine if that was LeBron. Nah, no way.




Bookmakers are rarely wrong. In this case they were spot on. Heck, would you have bet on the cavs, be honest. Even as a kingsman with all that hope I wouldn't have. Deep down Watching our D especially when we played the Celtics in game 3 I thought we were going to get swept.



True. But in this case there was a clear favorite. Wasn't even close. It's like Real Madrid Vs Arsenal. One team simply better, the other people think might be good enough to stage an upset but we know that's a long shot from happening.


You forget something. KD! Makes this a completely different monster.
You are talking about Ohioans. The Lebron fan in Shanghai or Obalende would support Golden State even if Lebron went there. Gbagbe story

All the people that used to shout Heat Nation, White Hot Heat are now screaming Defend The Land even while Wade and Bosh were still in Miami

You people are just dwelling unnecessarily on the normal hate that comes with a successful team, athlete, entertainer. It comes with the package. If he was that hated he wouldn't sell the most shoes, jerseys (till Steph came) have the most social media followers of any American athlete, grab the most endorsements. Companies wouldn't pay overwhelmingly hated athletes to sell their product. People love Lebron more than they ever loved Kobe. Truth


Haha don't even go there. People still call Kobe a rapist till this day despite him never being found guilty and the lying a$s woman went away unschathed. I don't know how old you were in 2004 but I was in my teens and I can tell you the Kobe hate was at an all time high. Lakers Fans hated him for allegedly chasing Shaq away (everybody loves Shaq) women and people who knew zilch about basketball hated him for cheating and alleged rape. What you are seeing today is child's play. Belee that


I expected the series to go at least 6 games. I wouldn't bet on the Cavs for the Durant factor and the fact that the Warriors likely would have learned from last year's debacle. I still believed the Cavs had a chance watching how badly Klay and Draymond had been for large swathes of the playoffs compared to Steph and KD. A few Cavs players coasted and didn't show up till it was too little too late. E.g TT and J.R Smith.
Williams, Korver, Frye, Jefferson didn't do enough. The Cavs roster last year was not as deep as this year's. The truth is Durant aside the effort this year was lacking, A 4-1 L for me is unacceptable. Good as Durant is this series had no business ending in 5


The Cavs tried to play like Golden State a little too much
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:05pm On Jun 14, 2017
If I were a Cavs fan I'd be looking at a guy like Kristaps Porzingis. He is an upgrade from Love on D. He has crazy upside and would not turn the offense upside down.

Baba, I sabi!

But the Finals shows we can no longer rely on LeBron defensively and we need a BIG MAN to have a chance of winning the title or even making the finals next season (Boston dey come).

Cousins, to me, is kinda slow compare to AD. But it would be nice to have him if the AD thing does not work. Someone suggested KP, but I think he's not the right guy for us right now because our team is not built for the long term.

We also need work on trading Shump for Patrick Berverly and try to get a decent PF/Center for TT. I don't mind if we get Mozgov back.

Or what do you think we need to do?
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 8:28pm On Jun 14, 2017
Porzingis is about the only quality big guy you would add to your roster that would still give you a shot at PG. However I don't think any GM would be that stewpid to collect TT and J.R on that contract (well the Mavs did give Harrison Barnes max so there's that)


Love would still be the best bet to put on the block.


KP is 7'2 and can run the ball, score in the low post, shoot from range and can block shots. He is essentially a poor man's Nowitzki. I'd go for him if I could if I were the Cavs
