Edwards 6th man off the bench


My guess too. If we let Beasley walk, how much cap space do we have? Need forwards and shooting.


none, his cap hold is only like $3.8 mil since he was a late 1st round pick

We should bring Beasley back. If only to trade him later. His legal issues will make him a bit cheaper probably.

If he is not suspended we need to keep him. Its not easy finding a shooter like him.

Beasley is better than any 2 in this draft lol. I'd try to keep him.

hope the final trade is for Oubre, not Rubio..Rubio contract even larger than Oubre's...are we gonna start Rubio? 17 mil is expensive for a backup PG.

Take it from a guy who’s team passed on Michael Jordan because we had Clyde Drexler and passed on Chris Paul because we had (ugh) Sebastian Telfair. You always take BPA. Always.

I have heard DWade comparisons too. I'll take either one, easy. Would freaking love a Donovan Mitchell caliber player on our squad. Those guys win you games, period.


Wade, Oladipo, and Mitchell were all incredibly hard working, high motor guys in college. Edwards has every bit the physical talent of that trio. Hasn’t shown even a hint at their heart though.


Don't get too excited about the Wade and Oladipo comparisons. The only reason those two names keep getting tossed around is because Wade played for Tom Crean at Marquette and Oladipo played for Crean at Indiana.

Wish we could've gotten Oubre too though lol

We're talking about it. Doesn't mean we got him.


It's actually a done deal, Jon Krawczynski confirmed he is coming back,

Cavs likely picked Wiggins because Wolves asked them to or they were told that is someone they would like.
