Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

Fuck em. Don't spend s damn dollar towards this franchise until they do it right. Only thing they will listen to is their coffers dwindling.

I won't watch again with this shit stain coaching this team. Enjoy.

More time outdoors suits me fine

Cavs better just park their ass in the weight room because this football game also aka game 2 of the finals the Cavs would be getting their ass beat to a pulp. This is a rough ass brutal game. Cavs do not have this level of physicality

So they traded back for a second rounder in like 2090 or something. Watch Karaban be the next Doncic or some shit. Doesn't look like the Cavs are going to do much unless there's a Jaylon Brown trade we don't know about.

They got #34 tonight from Sac as well but I was hoping they'd take a stab at Karaban.

28 yrs old with.. what.. 7-9 more yrs vs 41 1/2 yrs old with 1 maybe 2 yrs left and not an everyday player

current clubhouse loves Jarrett.. how would they respond to LBJ's over powering presence

it'd be going ALL IN for a championship.. all or nothing.. because when LBJ & Harden are gone in 2 yrs.. you have HUGE holes.. and
would Mitchell stay?

Harden declines $42.3 million player option with Cavs; working on long-term deal​

James Harden has declined his $42.3 million player option with the Cleveland Cavaliers, per ESPN, but the former MVP is not expected to spend much time on the free-agent market.

Harden made it clear after the Cavs' loss in the Eastern Conference Finals that he wanted to be back in Cleveland long-term, and the two sides are reportedly working on a new multi-year deal. Harden averaged 20.5 points, 7.7 assists and 4.8 rebounds per game on 46.6/43.5/84.0 shooting splits in the regular season after arriving in Cleveland at the trade deadline.

His averages dipped a touch in the postseason -- 19.2 points, 5.5 assists and 5.1 rebounds on 41.0/41.0/83.1 splits -- and the question with Harden has long been his ability to reach his top level in the playoffs. Even so, after flipping Darius Garland for Harden, the Cavs don't have much choice regarding the veteran guard if they want to remain near the top of the Eastern Conference. They will hope a full season with Harden and Donovan Mitchell allows them to be the fourth straight Eastern Conference team to go from Conference Finals losers to the Finals, joining the Celtics, Pacers and Knicks.

A new long-term deal for Harden will likely come in at a lower annual number than the $42.3 million option he declined, which will help keep Cleveland below the dreaded second apron. Creating real financial flexibility would require a far more dramatic shakeup from the Cavs. So far, they've signaled little interest in such a move and instead seem to be planning another summer of largely running it back, keeping Kenny Atkinson as coach and now working to re-sign Harden.

So, after crashing and burning in the playoffs, they are going to stand pat and spend even more years and money on the guy they brought in who didn't help. Makes total sense for Cleveland sports.
