Carmelo- If things go south (or stay south) in New York. Maybe a Vuc + Evan + picks gets it done.

Brandon knight- coming off the bench now. Not sure what the Suns would want, but he's a combo guard who can score it.

Gordon heyward- been rumored the Jazz want to move him.

Rudy Gay- same as above.

Team played with much better effort and looked like a NBA team on offense in the 4th quarter against the defending champs. Baby steps.

The Magic are useless. Not only they didn't win but they didn't even let their poor fans win some money.

If I remember correctly Ibaka and Biz cannot get traded until December, right? So if any of our bigs were to get traded right away, it would be Vuc.

Good screens work wonders. BIyombo did a lot of that tonight.

Much better effort and hustle. Can't be mad at this one. I knew we were going to lose but I'm sure 99% of us weren't expecting this end the way the first two games played. Ibaka was awesome in the 4th. Some hard playing. If we played this way the first two games, would have started 2-0. It's all time and experience playing with one another. A lot to build on tonite. Our first win will be Tuesday. We will continue to get better.

Crazy part is that this game was winnable. However it's becoming increasingly clear that the AG, Ibaka , Vuc lineup is going to struggle to start games unless we go small.

Pretty sure we can move ibaka whenever. It's just guys who sign with new teams who can't be moved early.

He needs to start really soon. Ibaka looked much better tonight as well.

AG did a good job on LeBron. Tobias would have been murdered. I can't believe people miss Tobias. He's so... meh. Detroit fans like him because they also have Drummond and Jackson and Morris and Johnson.

Evan had some defensive lapses but he made some big shots and led this anemic team in scoring. Too much criticism for him

The question is will Vogel make adjustments to rotation or a starting lineup change?

Well, a few points short of my win prediction that would have plunged half the board into new depths of insanity, but this less drastic outcome is perhaps the best to level some of ya'll out and step back from the ledge...

The Harris trade looks real bad now given what they need now...

Believe me when I say that I want Harris back but I don't remember winning a Cavs game with Harris on the team.

It has to do with complimenting each other...

You saw what got us back in the game? It was a stretch line-up that featured Jeff Green at PF...

You essentially traded a guy who did what Jeff Green did in that run but is much better.

This team can't run a "Big" defense anymore and Gordon is surely not going to be the 3 for more than spot minutes either. Vucevic will definitely be benched or you balance it out with Hezonja at the 3 to open up the floor.

After watching this game its apparent that a lot of this will change as the first 2 3/4 games what Hennigan or whoever tried to implement was not working.

Will we lose by over 30pts?
