This team isn't going to get much better than it was last year. It can stay close to the same (which is usually plenty good) but it won't get much better. Delly and Mozgov are gone replaced by Felder and Birdman...those aren't upgrades. We added a 36yo shooter that hasn't been healthy...glad to have him, but that's not making this team much better. Hopefully LeBron can maintain his level with enough regular season rest...but there's no upside there.

Cleveland has handled Durant, who like Curry, has had issues with mental toughness. I'm not sure all is lost, but even with weaker offense overall the Warriors are significantly better than last year.

We haven't added enough to compete with them.


Yeah I'm worried about back up center and PG. Birdman is cooked.


The Cavs are trash. Lebron is a fraud who had to cry to the league to suspend Draymond because he couldn't beat the Warriors straight up. Kyrie is trash. Curry got injured in the 1st round (MCL sprain) and was never the same again. Bogut and Iguodala got injured. The Cavs championship is fraudulent. Enjoy the Warriors dynasty. The NBA belongs to the Warriors for the next 5 years.

I hope you enjoyed your time on the Cavs forum because I suspect it's coming to an end.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

What is it with some Warriors fans? They had no class in winning and even less as losers.

Good. He can't play defense. We can't have 2 revolving door PGs. Maybe we can pick someone up with our TPE.
