Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

[tsteele316]

Yes it is. I prefer a second first rounder this year since they're going to have multiple first rounders in the following 3 drafts (yea, I'm assuming Sac will improve enough). That would be nice to have 2 first rounders in 4 straight drafts. If they can hit on half of them, that's 3 more pretty good players in addition to KI and TT.

it will most certainly be a 2013 1st round pick.

in all actuality, at this point, cleveland should be routing for sacramento to totally go in the shitter. the cavs likely won't pass them in the loss column, and the better the player they get, the greater the chance they manage(despite themselves) to get cleveland that future 1st.

What reason for it being a 2013 pick? Teams want to hold on this year to take advantage of a deep draft ?

Kings pick is lottery protected for the next several years... we need them to win otherwise we get like a 2nd rounder in 2020

interesting.

Agreed. However, I don't think Raymond Felton plays for Denver these days.

the pick is lottery protected this year, and goes down by one spot each of the next 5 years. the kings aren't making the playoffs this year. they may as well tank in glorious fashion and get the best player they can in order to actually make the playoffs in the next few years, or at least finish 14th or so.

I see your logic... problem is .. its still the Queens... they'd actually be a good home for the Queen of Miami

Kyrie leaves game with either a broken or dislocated pinky finger

 

[y0yoyoin]

must of been dislocated...hes back on the bench...it looked like jamisons last year light

I know I've said this a few times, but Kyrie Irving is a bad man...

Nice night from Tristan Thompson. I would suggest they play him at center with Jamison also on the floor. Give that team two or three more good player next year, and Irving (barring injury) could take them past the first round of the playoffs.

the cavs losing tonight and tomorrow will remove all illusions of them slipping into the playoffs, which should remove any hesitation about pulling the trigger on any trades in the next 2 weeks.

still a good chance we could package Verajao...March 15th will be week 5 of his 4-6 week injury...teams will be more cautious with his injury history but would no doubt love to have him for the late push towards the playoffs...and usually the cavs have been a pain in the knicks ass but now with Lin i dont see any way the cavs win...any lack of effort the knicks previously had Lin has picked up and re-energized the team...we should actually get destroyed tomorrow...and thats fine with me

i just want there to be a total diffusing of jeremy lin for ROY chatter, which immediately sprung up. the way lin turns the ball over and can't defend to save himself, irving could have a big night.

the good thing is that you might see a lot of TT at the 5 tonight. personally, i'd love to watch him on amare most of the night.

i've also come to the conclusion on two things: 1. Gee is much more comfortable at the 3 spot off the bench. it suits him quite well. 2. the cavs need to address the SG spot in the worst way. AP is done. Gibson is a bench player at best.
