You do not win the east with Clarkson and Larry Nance Junior, come on now. Not to mention the time a new team needs to get integrated into the system and all...

They are literally cleaning house trying to get prepared for the inevitable which is Lebron leaving.


I'll take the Cavs to win the East. Who do you want?

I had the Bucks in the Finals in our preseason prediction thread gonna keep riding that dream.

Seems like too many new parts in the middle of the season for this to pay off for Cleveland. Not great parts either IMO.
Go Bucks!

ANy from the top 4 teams us included.


K. I think you wildly underrate the Cavs. We shall see.

Also, saying you like four teams isn't exactly ballsy.

Yeah, I'm wondering if this means they'll be forced to actually practice now?

still hoping the Bucks get Nerlens Noel for nothing...or on a buyout

no idea why i still want him so bad, but i think an energized Noel would be a fantastic fit

If we do not get a legit center in here, then why even play the rest of the yr just to get bounced 1st round

So will Cleveland have enough players to field a team for tomorrow's game?
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

sure

but they're not good enough to win a series against the Dubs...and they just hurt themselves for the post-LeBron era by trading their first.


Well, in fairness, they have the Brooklyn pick. From the vantage point of doing everything you can while Lebron is still healthy and a top 3 player, they've succeeded in moving on from what was clearly not working. And, they did so, while getting some young talent and a very solid veteran PG. I mean Hill is much much better than Rose and an old D Wade when healthy.

I was such a big fan of Mudiay when he came out. Thought he was a future star. Wondering if it was bad system fit or just bad player.

As will I (shocker!).

If LeBron were to somehow pull off a ship this year, I'd take unrelenting joy in the "Ringz" crowd's suffering.
