Barnes is for sure better, dude does everything and plays both sides of the ball

No Barnes is not better. Stop it.

i think the playoffs are telling every fan that they don't know anything about basketball. we all post and pretend like we do...but we don't. the nba is different now. there's no telling what's gonna work and what's not and to the degree things do work or fail. things are constantly changing and evolving. there's no real rules to follow anymore saying "A or B will win but C or D can't". chemistry, luck, health, matchups and sometimes randomness play just a big a part as talent nowadays.

Barnes is more versatile

Teams better start drafting with size in mind, because I don't think you will be able to beat them with small ball.

We don't have nearly enough offense and shooting to hang with Boston if we make it to the next round but this team has a bright future

A first round exit for Cleveland makes a Mitchell trade nearly certain this summer, ya? Think you can get Jaquez and all of Miami's picks? Jaquez would be awesome long term between Mobley/Garland

it's a subjective discussion for another day. somehow a magic fan got triggered and brought him up for no reason b/c their adrenaline took over their brain lol.

Cleveland is pathetic.
Is it coaching or is it on the players?
I will blame the players! They have a talented bunch of players but lack leadership. Mitchell's not the answer as many of us stated at the time he wanted out of Utah. He left his magic in Utah I suppose.

Niang cannot continue to get minutes. He has been borderline unplayable at this point.

Magic fans are some of the most deluded in the landscape these days. Eyetoma-lite.

Go back to enyoing your offseason at your favorite icicle

2 undersized scoring guards just doesn't work.

ironically, I think he would be great on the Magic alongside Suggs.

Mitchell needs to play next to someone like prime Draymond.

world champion Franz Wagner

I was wrong, I thought Cleveland would come out with better mental fortitude against this young Magic squad.

This Orlando team is proving me wrong.

So glad a thread about the Cavs/Magic has become about Franz/Barnes.

Take that **** elsewhere.

Cavs need to establish themselves in the final minutes, or just avoid further injury? Hmm.

Cavaliers looking like the Suns out there.

They're gonna let Wagner get a 40 ball in the playoffs.

Ok Raps fan.

Look forward to you all maxing out Franz if your org believes the same.

I still have Cleveland winning in six, their offense will come alive eventually and they still have home court, but even if they do make it to the second round, they need to make changes regardless.
