Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

Harden coming?

Please not Harden...we've finally gotten rid of most of the guys who will shoot us out of games. And yes, Harden is (was) a good shooter, but with Mitchell here he would be chucking and ducking every time he gets near the ball because he's used to being the first and second option for offense. We already have that.

He's a Cav. Seems weird but it's a plan to try and lock down Mitchell which has to happen to keep the Cavs in the mix.

Lock down Spyda however you've got to do it imo.

Oh goodie, here comes the aging ball hog. Can’t wait for the ball movement to bring to a halt for 40 possessions of Iso ball. I don’t dislike Harden, but I absolutely HATE this fit (or lack thereof).

Spot on Fungo…I haven’t watched a minute of the Cavs this year, but my friends like to focuses occasionally. Not sure who they played, and this is likely a regular occurrence too, but between the two teams, 84 three point attempts were hoisted during the game. That is not basketball. I fully understand their “logic” or lack thereof, but that’s unwatchable, and the NBA has been unwatchable for years imo. No defense, Iso ball and chucking 3s. It’s the same as having your diarrhea smell so bad you can’t help but barf, but there’s no trash can, so you have to barf into the shit splattered toilet.

Don’t worry he’ll disappear at the end of important games and not even want to touch the ball.

As long as they don’t extend him I guess they save a year on his cap unless he can be convinced to opt out of his contract

Don’t get me wrong. I still hate it and if your trading garland, you can do better than harden

 

[Tomateaux Quinoa Gumbeaux]

I get that many are not thrilled by the trade

But on the other hand, you COULD be the Pelicans!

So, is Harden here just to finish out the season? Use his talents before the honeymoon period ends, hope he helps them to a championship, and then hope for some cap relief since Harden's contract is only partially guaranteed next season?

Let's hope Kobi knows what he is doing. And this gif is my fear for Harden.
