Cleveland Cavaliers - Wine & Gold bby

[Oscarman]

Miami's 2020 2nd round pick got added.

 

[nahnah]

so the final trade is:

Cavs get:
Isaiah Thomas
Jae Crowder
Ante Zizic
2018 Brooklyn first rounder
2020 Miami second rounder

Celtics get:
Kyrie Irving

Nice haul, sad to see him go though.
Now to cut 2 players

 

[nahnah]

Press conference tomorrow with Isaiah, Crowder and Zizic. Surprised Rose and Green won't be there.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

IT seems 110% committed. I liked his body language in the presser. He even wore the Wine coloured jacket.

I just hope it's not too late in the season for him to settle in.

 

[nahnah]

Signed John Holland to a 2-way deal.. dont know what that means. Pretty useless signing given we have a glut of forwards and already have 17 on the roster.

 

[fidstar]

John Holland is a construction company so he may be building a wall to stop the Warriors from scoring

we have a 5'9 wall that can stop you guys from scoring...

Who the hell is John Holland.

Here's our Black alternate uniform off of 2k18

LeBron looks fatigued.

Or stoned.

[nahnah]

It's going to be really interesting see how this team fits, lots of depth etc
Will Love be used a lot more? Especially while Isaiah is out?
Can Osman or Zizic crack the rotation?
If Rose plays well does Isaiah come off bench when he comes back?
What are the minute splits with Crowder/JR/Korver/Shump/RJ
A lot of questions.

 

[nahnah]

If we sign Wade then I'm pretty sure 3 players need to go...

1. Thomas (pg)
2. JR (sg/sf)
3. Lebron (sf/pf)
4. Love (pf/c)
5. Thompson (c/pf)

6. Crowder (sg/sf)
7. Rose (pg)
8. Korver (sg/sf)
9. Shumpert (sg/sf)
10. Frye (pf/c)
11. Jefferson (sf)
12. Green (pf/sf)
13. Calderon (pg)
14. Felder (pg)
15. Zizic (C)
16. Traveres (C)
17.Osman (sf)
18. Wade* (sg/pg)
19. Holland** (allowed one extra player on a 2 way contract I believe) (sg/sf)

So we would have 19 players, the limit is 15, Holland doesn't count so we have 18 which means we would need to cut 3? Felder, Traveres and Calderon/Green?? or keep Calderon/Green and dump Shump somewhere?

 

[nahnah]

Isaiah expected back by January, probably the same time frame as Kyrie in 2015

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Anyone see LeBron's interview? Damn that was a great 42 minutes. If there's one thing I can take from that interview it's that he will not be on the decline this season that's for damn sure.

 

[nahnah]

 

[SloaneysDanger]

I definitely think we're in a better position to beat the Warriors heading into this season than last. Our depth is crazy good now and when IT comes back hopefully he can gel with the team and make a run towards the Finals once again.

 

[Kickpuncher]

Wade is well past his prime but seeing him playing for us will still be hype as *.

Wade + D.Rose for about 4mil. All praise Koby.

 

[nahnah]

 

[SloaneysDanger]

The bench is way better than last season but Frye as backup Centre is still a worry.

 

[nahnah]

Traveres and Felder almost certainties to be cut. Either RJ or Calderon will be cut unless a trade for Shump is done. RJ likely the one to go.

 

[nahnah]

Wade, Rose and Crowder are looking really good.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Is it just me or are we losing a lot this pre-season

 

[fidstar]

There's some guy named LeBron not playing.

 

[nahnah]

Is it just me or are we losing a lot this pre-season

Love 1-12
Wade 1-7, 4 turnovers
JR 0-6
Lebron 8 turnovers

Yuck, better get their s**t together for when Boston arrive in less than a week.
