    He can shoot or at least thinks he can, that's part of them problem

    Never healthy, not worth a roster spot and that's personality and other stuff aside.



    I really like the idea of a one stop shop of Missi, Jones, Bey and then all the needs are checked off depending on what we lose to free agency.

    Yeah, I like the idea too. Herb's shot is not nearly as broken as Vando's, and at least he has some semblance of volume. Maybe Lakers could help fix that shot, like the Dodgers helped with the swings of players like Turner and Muncy? Why Bey though? I know he is a good shooter, and excellent rebounder for his position. Hes definitly in that power forward build. Seems we have a lot of those guys already. I would say, definitely Missi and maybe Jones.

    Massive talent upgrade on the bench. Volume 3 point shooter. Can defend a couple positions. Can confidently scale up his role. Had some crazy scoring performances for the New Orleans dumpster this year. Looks like he's recovered well from his injury.

    If we're a bit clogged, we can throw Jake in the trade too.


    The more two way forwards you can load up on the roster the better.

    Oh heck, yeah if we could get rid of LaRava. That's still 5 large forward types though: Luka, Lebron, Rui, Bey, and Thiero. Also, wouldn't New Orleans ask for more for that guy. We dont really need him, hes more of a luxury.

    Brown and the Leprechauns

    Watson and Johnson with LA being mentioned

    The KD of it all

    Raptors looking for shooting
    Want to buy low? Might I suggest

    Suns expected to look at Barnes and Wade




    Just keep him away from here. Team won't go anywhere as long as the Beard is there.




    Hell of a rise for Mike. From Draft Express in 2012 with Givony to the Blazers assistant GM to running the Mavs. That's really cool to see, that kind of story.

    If the core of the package is Mobley for Giannis, it might make sense for the Cavs to send Allen to the Bucks for Turner too. In that case, maybe we try to have Allen re-routed here.

    Good forward thinking. Yeah, Allen wouldn't make sense with Giannis, and Turner is Taylor made for him. Off top of my head we send Vando + LaRavia + Ayton + #25 + 2031 1st for Allen.

    Cavs need to be under 2nd apron after a trade though, to be able to aggregate players.

    we are still fundamentally flawed and a bad defensive team IMO, 2 starting guards that don't defend, our center is a nice player but not a good defender

    I disagree with those who think a defensive wing will fix this, even if elite.

    We have some nice players, like the roster isn't bad, but it's just a clunky fit.

    it's not that we can't win, but the likelihood would be higher if we have Luka + maybe Lebron + a bunch of 2 way players.

    Ayton is better than Allen.
