Bam,Precious, and Love front court could be the ticket. The true evolution though is Bam with Precious.

The era of small ball has come to an end. The only team that really made it work were the Lebron-led Heat and the GSW’s. And that was because Lebron and the Warriors could make any system work. Guard play is obviously still critical, but there’s gotta be a balance with a team.

Plus, small ball is hella boring to watch. Bunch of fouls, ft’s, and 3 pt shots.

I guarantee you Spo is coming up with a game plan right now to win with a small ball team of leprechauns. Magic will win the championship if you believe.

Looks like Cleveland is definitely a fun town. Katya and Tyler would definitely like it :wink:

KZ and Precious showing they are still very much moldable athletes, with quite a bit of upside on the defensive end. I hope Spo learns something this off-season.

I find it very interesting that Mike Brown - who isn't exactly an offensive guru - is encouraging Precious to take multiple 3's per game. Also looks like Precious got the green light to start the fast break after he rebounds.

Spo needs to realize this team isn't going anywhere interesting unless the young guys make a leap. And they won't make the leap without confidence, or without reps, or without playing free and unafraid.

Spo made Precious into a DHO bot last year. It was painful to watch

Mike Brown is trying to speed up the pace and with that, you let some of your bigs bring down the ball so your more skilled players can go set up for quick open 3s.

Spo needs to realize this team isn't going anywhere interesting unless the young guys make a leap. And they won't make the leap without confidence, or without reps, or without playing free and unafraid.

I completely disagree with this, they recently were able to make the finals and potentially are a player or 2 away from being a true contender in the East.

By the way, you gain confidence from your work. If you're putting up a ton of specific shots each day, you're going to gain the skill and confidence to take and make those shots, it's why the good shooters don't worry too much about missing a few shots in a row, they've been making hundreds of those shots each day. I get mentally weak players, but usually you will overcome that confidence issue if you've put in the work.

Nice. Collins, Sexton, Kristaps and Kawhi. We are going to be loaded next year!

Don't forget Dame, Ingram, and Lowry.

All nice additions to Jimmy and Bam.

Knicks are going to outbid us. Cavs have wanted Toppin since the last draft. He played college ball in Ohio.

He’s the most logical addition next year. Collin Sexton is going to have a bunch of suitors bidding for him.

It's a great thing that Miami is looking like they're inquiring about all these players, they'll prioritize and weigh the prices to figure out what is the best way to move forward.

Wonder if the Knicks are interested in Lonzo (I assume LaVar is very interested in NY lol)? That could be significant since it seems that NYK would be one of Miami's biggest competitors in the Sexton sweepstakes

Knicks would be a fool to sign Ball to a huge deal. But hey they have been a fool for over paying average players for 20 years
