If I'm presti I'm shipping PG to Cleveland for that #1 pick by the deadline. I'm not going to lose Russ and PG for nothing. You need MPJ or Bagley in OKC. You can't recruit players there. You have to draft well.
You talking about he needs to draft well when he drafted three MVP tier players tho

IT did everything for them.. Gets traded and they burn his Jersey. It's all good while you meet their self interests
It was one nikka who did it I'm not even a Boston fan or defender but one recorded jersey burning happened most of their fans were bittersweet of the whole thing

Like really wmg,you negged me for this comment ?

Can't wait till Cleveland faces Bostion and puts this lineup on the floor:

G-Rose
G-Thomas
C-Love
F-James
F-Crowder

You must be a boston fan or a Lebron hater.

James and Crowder are going to have to carry that lineup defensively. At this stage I don't think Lebron is going to want to have to cover for other guys weaknesses. Tyron Lue is going to have to be very careful and selective when putting this lineup on the floor because of three weak defenders in that lineup in IT, Rose, and Love.

Also none of these guys besides maybe love are pure shooters. Horford would eat against crowder and having to guard kyrie would destroy rose or Thomas
Not mention lebron having to check Hayward who isn't a slouch and can get off

And who guards Lebron,Rose,Love and Thomas ?

And as I said in my post.....this lineup would be used against Boston,not GS.

Rose is not a good shooter, so you cut off his drive to the lane and force him to shoot. He does not possess the same speed or quickness after those knee injuries. Thomas is not going to be the primary ball handler in the lineup playing with Lebron and Rose, so you can push him around because of his size to make him feel uncomfortable when trying to get open playing off ball. Love would be a problem with his marksmen shooting, but he will give up what he gives back. Crowder is a streaker 3 point shooter who can't create on his own. Lebron is the only guy that will be able to get his, but limiting the other guys will put pressure on him to perform because of the lack of three point shooting in this lineup. Hopefully Brad Stevens could see these issues and exploit them. He knows I.T's and Crowder's weaknesses.

Come on man...

1.Lebron always destroys boston.This season will be no different.

2.Love killed boston in the playofts:22.6/12.4/2.6/1.4/1.2/48%/53%/87%....and played good defense on top of it.

3.Yes,Lebron is the primary ball handler.But Thomas will still have a top 15 usage rate and get 18-20 shots per game.Infact,IT will get easier shots because of Lebron.

4.Rose might have lost a half step,but he still gets to the basket whenever he wants,and can light up any pg.

Act like Rose didn't drop 25/7 on westbrook


Act like Rose didn't drop 30/7/4 on westbrook


Act like Rose didn't drop 28 on GS

The beauty about this cavs team is that with LBJ,IT,KL,and DR,all they'll need is 2 guys to be on to win basketball games on most nights.
