I would take KAT away from Minny, Thibs doesnt know how to use him, and Stevens would turn him into an absolute beast.

Tatum for Kat, straight up.

Irving, Brown, Hayward, Horford, KAT.

Thats a deadly team.

Minny wouldn't do that

KAT would take Tatum, Rozier, Theis, Sac 1st, and Memphis 1st.

Thing is Thibs is always abou now so he's not dealing for future

Naw, I dont think it takes that much.

That's a kawhi leonard package, not KAT.

And if they move for Deandre Jordan or the like, and can move away from Wiggins, I think Tatum>Kat swap, even if a pick had to get tossed into deal, would be very attractive to them.

Teague
Butler
Tatum
Bjelica
Jordan

I wouldn't too. I like Tatum more than I like KAT.

I think a large majority see KAT as more special a player than Tatum.

So it's starting to look like Curry will play in Game 1.

Well, the postseason was fun and unpredictable while it lasted.

Large majority are looking at stats, and only stats.

He is a very bad defender.

KAT's ceiling is higher.

Who is our "Eddie House" this year? God I miss that guy, the way he gets bench points and fire.up the crowd was something else.

Smart can get the crowd pretty fired up.

He also likes 3s as much as Eddie.

I don't have strong feelings about the Raptors when they aren't playing the Celtics, but I was kind of hoping Washington would win just for the laughs. I don't know what the Wizards do, Wall on his old contract and age was a really good player. Now he is older, paid an obscene amount of money for a player who doesn't appear to be good enough to take a team anywhere, and is pretty much as close to un-tradeable as you can be. I think Brooks is suspect as a coach as well.

I am loving seeing the Pacers put a smackdown on LeBron in Game 6 at the moment though.

If LeBron somehow drags this sorry ass Cavs team to the finals it might be his best accomplishment yet. Pacers play unselfish. Rooting for them, but tough to see LeBron going out in the first round.

SMH, kills me at times it had to end this season the way it did with Irving. We could have made a real run in the fraudulent east.

We would have won the East with Kyrie. JUST Kyrie. Like, Hayward wouldn't have even had to play. And to think I thought Cleveland would come out of the East regardless of what happened.

Yeah. This stings.

I still think Lebron probably wins game 7 at home, lets face it.......at the very least they aren't getting blown out in back to back games. But they have a real Kevin Love problem now. And this might open the door for the boring Raptors or even young Sixers.

Like you said, we didn't even NEED Gordon. Just an effective and healthy enough Irving. I know he had to do what he had done for health, but yeah it stings seeing this crap out there. :noway:

Sigh. I mean we are Irving-less and going to game 7 with the damn Bucks. Lebron is going to game 7 with stupid Indy. The east is painful. So painful freaking Oladipo is all the rage.

The only way I see Lebron bowing out early is if he really does want to get out of Cleveland asap but I don't think he will want to burn the fans at home like that. He would more likely do it on the road vs. the Raptors or Sixers.

Sorry ass Wizards.

So, not only can the Cavaliers not defend, but now they can't score either. The team stinks. Basically, if LeBron doesn't go supernova, they lose. He dropped 44 and 46 in two of the Cavs' wins in this series and 32 in the other. Also something to keep in mind: Oladipo was completely trash in two out of those three games. All of that, and the Cavs just won those games by the skin of their teeth.

I think Cleveland will win Game 7, because I don't see LeBron going out in the first round, but it's not a foregone conclusion. The Pacers could beat them. I wouldn't bet on it, but I'd say it's like 60-40 Cavs right now when usually it would be like 90-10 for a LeBron-led team in a Game 7 at home against a lower-seeded squad.

Yeah, this was the absolute worst year to not be healthy.
