What do you think would happen to the Cavs as far as big roster moves if they lost ?
Gotta split up the redundancy. If Mitchell extends, trade Garland. If he doesn't extend, easily move him.

Then i would trade Allen due to his stock being so high but if Mobley doesn't extend and still being so young, maybe you trade him.

That the role players get so shook alongside everyone else is probably an indicator that JBB is the problem. Since Allen is out I would consider running it back with a different coach - but if Mitchell doesnt extend (and why would he), trading him and bringing in a new coach is the minimum.

It’s the first quarter lol. Your team is at home and are vets, they are not going to get rattled being down in the first quarter.

Niang watching a ball he could have gotten to slowly roll out of bounds, in Game 7, is just the perfect **** encapsulation of his play in this series.

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.

Cavs look lifeless, looking forward to offseason I guess.

None of that matters if the Cavs can’t hit any shots while the Magic are making 50% of their threes.

They rushed the rebuild with Mitchell trade. Should have kept the team as is and let it grow together. It will be a disaster if they cant win this game today, coach will be gone. Maybe they can still trade Mitchell and get something back to build around Mobley/Garland.
