In all seriousness....Parker is a class act and nice veteran presence for Irving and Thompson to learn from.

As a Cavs-Fan Im just hoping that AP´s role is limited to beeing a good influence to the Rookies and other young players and few minutes of the bench to add a bit of depth at the 2/3

Surprised the Raptors didn't sign him.

But I thought no free agents would ever sign in Cleveland? Ever Ever again because Gilbert is a big bad bully! / 75% kidding

I think that will be his role most definitely. You could tell he really felt bad for the fans and city after LeChoke left and he put his heart and soul out there every night on the floor.

You know what, the Cavs are a few moves away from contending.

lmao

A couple seasons if everything went perfectly...
a) Kyrie Irving & Tristan Thompson develop into fringe all-star talents.
b) They're able to add another potential star in the next draft, and he develops.
c) They can put the $30M+ cap room they'll have next offseason to good use.

In theory, this time next year they could have three young top 5 picks, two max star free agents (they'll have the cap), along with versatile talents like AndyV and Eyenga.
....of course there's an outside chance convincing those two max guys to sign up could be difficult, lol.
