Murray, LaVine, Tatum, Bam, and Ayton, with Randle/Dunn off the bench is not to be slept on in the East. Also that team is so young, they’ll be very good for a long time.

Hopefully they can just distribute the ball in a way that won’t take too much away from anyone’s individual potential.

Thanks bro. It’s been a very long process here in Cleveland.. but we’re finally starting to see the light lol. Stuck with my plan even though it’s been a bit frustrating at times. Excited to compete as a contender next season. Being in the lottery the past 3 years is no fun :lol:

Hopefully my team will be able to share the ball with no issues. With multiple playmakers in my starting lineup and guys that can play off the ball, it shouldn’t be much of a problem


You definitely got a squad. You think you locked into this team or you wouldn't mind some further trading for balance and fit? It's your team so your call but you could if you wanted to easily trade one or two of your scorers and get pretty decent return. Nice place to be though you got some nice options there.

So sorry Hezi. Not to diminish the sadness of the moment but this is very common, particularly with first pregnancies. I know so many people that were able to start healthy, happy families after an initial loss and hope your family will be one of them.

I think ima stick with this roster for now. Will re-evaluate after next season

Thanks family! I appreciate it a lot

Mase I'm sorry to learn it happened to you and your wife as well. My heart goes out to anybody who has ever had to deal with it. I usually don't reach out like this but I've gotten pretty close with everybody here that I just felt I needed to say something and let everybody know that I might need some time to deal with everything.

Love y'all!

Understood. It's difficult because people around you want to help but it's hard for many to understand what that feels like unless it has happened to them. Take your time.

Thank you for what you said about my wife and I. I appreciate that.

my parents were the same way. They miscarried around the same time as HEZI during there first pregnancy as well. They ended up having my 2 brothers and I after that. Its more common then one would think but no less devastating everytime because you are basically halfway to having your child/children born. I can't fathom having to go through that so my heart goes out to HEZI and his family.

Oh god, I'm so sorry to hear that man. My heart goes out to you guys. We had a miscarriage in winter 2018. It was our first after having three kids, and we then had our 4th at the end of summer 2019. I think it happens way more than people know, but it's just not talked about.

Memphis got the finals MVP :) . I’d say watch out for them if they get a legit center, and a couple bench pieces to go with Westbrook and Klay.


It will be interesting to see what he can do with the limited cap space. Needs probably 2 or 3 starters.

My condolences as well, HEZI.

I appreciate knowing you were comfortable enough to share your loss with our community, especially to find out so many of us have experienced the same loss as you have. You’re not alone, and it’s great to see the brotherhood here at BAF come thru time and time again.

Sending prayers to your little angels and for your families healing during this time of grief. And to those we’ve lost as a community.

HEZI,

There's nothing that I can say that can express how sorry I am for the loss that you and yours must feel. I had a family member experience this also years ago and know the pain it caused. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
