I'm just trying to picture how this offense would look. Especially if we could land Love. You have a better shooter in Kyrie then Mo Williams ever was
then consider signing a rebounding machine like Love with the hussle of Andy's boards off the bench.

Mo was actually a really good shooter his first two years here...at least during the regular season...he shot .436 and .429 from three. I wouldn't call Kyrie a better shooter at this point.

One thing Cavs fans are going to have to caution themselves against is insane expectations right out of the gate. I'm willing to bet this team, regardless of the personel, is going to struggle the first month or two as the players adjust to their new roles and learn to play together. I remember Miami started pretty slowly their first few weeks together.

4-5 years ago, id say yes. Like Miller, he's on the downside. He plays soft.

Admittedly, I didn't watch any nba this season, so maybe he fell off a cliff, but I remember him playing a big role, offensively (surprisingly) and defensively, against the Pacers in 2013 playoffs. I'm sure he could be had for the vet minimum. If he can give you 10-15 energetic minutes off the bench rebounding and blocking shots, he'd have some value. Looking at his stats, doesn't look like he's fallen off too much. Plus, he missed a chunk of his mid-late 20s with personal problems, so the mileage is probably a little lower than the age indicates.

They started 0-5 I believe. I remember this board enjoying it quite a bit.

You said the magic words, regular season. Mo was very solid, then the playoffs would come along.

I mean he's not terrible and I wouldn't be upset of we did sign him...effort wise on D, looked a little slow, and committed dumb fouls in the playoffs
