Bledsoe would be a perfect fit for a Lebron James team (maybe even better than Irving), he has some amazing athleticism, great passing and shot creating skills, floor general abilities, hes got great touch around the rim like Kyrie and can really hit some shots when he gets going. He's underrated and I remember how sad us Clippers fans were to let him go 4 years ago.
Hope CLE gets better soon. I like the D Rose and Jeff Green pick ups though.
The only way Green looks like a good move this season is if 'the ghost of Kyle Korver' actually gets PT. bwahaha

Yeah - no idea what they will do w/out Shumps awful shooting and resulting loss of spacing for his teammates as the opposing defenders cheat.

Irving+Shump= 28pts per. Bledsoe,Rose,Green= 40+ per. Then whoever else Cavs get back adds more. I wasn't a Math Major,but no Irving means more pts and Green plays D. So while losing Irving will be bad it won't hurt the Cavs O and should help D. Maybe they don't win the Finals,but they do win the EC unless LBJ gets hurt

Yeah, agree....when he's on the court. If he can stay healthy he'll be good. Really though, Jeff Green?

Green and Rose clearly aren't studs. No one is arguing they are. However if you watched ANY Cavaliers games you'd understand just how bad the teams bench was at scoring the ball. When LeBron sat for three minutes or worse yet, missed the entire game, the offense lacked ball movement and they almost always lost. Because they made the finals people seem to forget just how bad the Cavs were from late February til the end of the season. You can say it doesn't matter or they were coasting or whatever excuse you want. 11-15 is a damn embarrassment for the highest payroll in league history.
One thing Green and Rose can both do is score. If you didn't watch the Cavs though you wouldn't understand just how big of an offensive improvement off the bench they will be and at minimum deals.. what's to lose if they somehow weren't. I'm not saying these guys are Durant and Jordan... I'm saying the Cavs bench was really, really bad last season.

You're right. It would be ridiculous to think Rose, who averaged 18 a game last year and has never averaged under 16 a game in his career, can score. He doesn't have Curry's shot so he can't score, right? Maybe they miscalculated his points. Green, who is declining, has never been under 10 a game. Why exactly do you think he's been on an NBA roster so long? Please explain. Is he just fun to have around?
Both players strengths are putting the ball in the basket. Neither has ever been known for defense. And by the way, both players will probably get better efficiency wise playing with LeBron, who will not only draw attention but can pass the ball as good as anyone who's ever played the game. Love's is a pretty decent outlet man too. Although they're probably not as good as anyone Green played with on that awesome Orlando team last year.
Clearly, you can't read, as you're breaking down guys I said we're bench players signed to can't lose veteran MINIMUM deals like someone said they were All-stars or like the Cavs chances of even making the playoffs depend on them. Rose will be the sixth, seventh or eighth man. Green may be the eighth through tenth guy off the bench. I'd like to know how many NBA teams you believe have 100% complete players in those spots.
But you are soo smart and you are completely correct when you say these guys have holes in their game. Thanks for pointing it out because I don't think anyone noticed. Especially not Cavs fans. We are all hoping and praying Rose is the best PG on our roster come the finals.
I don't even like your Bledsoe numbers. 15-16 he was 45% and 37% while Kyrie was 44% and 32%. One. Player benefitted from playing with superstars drawing attention away while the other played with the ghost of Tyson Chandler and who?? IF the Cavs were to acquire Bledsoe I'd absolutely think his efficiency goes up. Bledsoe also plays better defense than Kyrie. Not that he solves the Cavs woes there, but the Cavs need all the help they can get on that end. Now, before you get ridiculous again.. I'm not saying anyone's better than Kyrie. But its a team sport and there are factors besides ones offensive ability that determine a teams success.

We heard the same nonsense w D Will....Rose is a volume shooter so of course he will score some pts...that dosnt mean hes efficient....Green is another D. Williams type guy that will play some during RS but barely sees the floor in a meaningful playoff game

I must have missed the part where someone said he's awesome, will get the Cavs past the Warriors or declared him top player in the league offensively. I'm not even sure what you're saying though as you previously implied he couldn't score but now say of course he can score and you're still judging him like he's more than a minimum signing bench player. Once again, how many teams have better players as the seventh or eight guy on their roster?

Do u think Rose is better than JR Smith, Thompson and Shumpert?
