Okoro is so good as a attacker/slasher. He really does have great finishing ability on his drives. I really really need him to become more of a 3pt shooting threat.

Mobley looks put of sort, looks like he's rushing his shot so far this game.

lol keep dreaming he is about as likely to become a reliable outside shooter as the Cavs are to trade him for one

Nesmith not looking any better for the Celtics. Man, if he busts, Ainge had some really serious misses outside of the top 6.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

Toronto better wise up and start using Barnes at the point or they just wasted a pick

He squandered a warchest of picks and swaps. He’s not a great GM. He just got lucky the Celtics won once in an off year for the entire league.

What the heck is this tangent even about? Nesmith has been pretty good the past 2 games.

I'd argue Ainge never had a "warchest" and his best picks got him Tatum, Brown, and Irving which is pretty amazing if Irving hadn't managed to turn everyone against him.

As we know full well waiting for the perfect deal that never happens or moving too quickly on an imperfect deal can both be problematic.

Our lone championship while having 11 seasons of one of the greatest players of all time came down to one possession.

Jaylen Hands could get an opportunity to be invited to Cavs training camp and compete for that 3rd point guard spot.
Have to see how he plays tonight.

Assuming we carry another PG on the roster. Hands would need to look better than whatever we can snag with a 10-day contract if/when we actually need another PG.

And here's my obligatory Summer comment that other teams have players that will ultimately get cut and we don't have to fill out our roster just with players we have in Summer league or training camp.

not too interested in really any of these unsigned summer league kids for the Cavs...sans a couple.
I mean I guess maybe convince me Bluiett or Ryan are good enough to make the training camp roster
given their spacing skills but Ryan doesn't do much else so Bluiett probably has to be the one with any odds at
an actual contract.
