It's probably a wrap on that Igoudala dream I had. Warriors would rather trade him to another team or pay the tax.

I have no idea what they are going to do with that Haywood contract. No one is going to want to help them this summer.

Wilson Chandler maybe?

Cavs reporter said this. From RCF.com

As is noted up thread the number of albatross contracts is limited and they also need to be someone that would accept a team situation and third/fourth/sixth? fiddle role. It's not a super long list and then add to that the exploding cap.

Danilo Gallinari ($11.5) maybe. Lance Stephenson (9M) thad young (9.9) Jordan Hill 9M anderson who someone mentiond 8.5 -- though I doubt they'd part with him, unlike the aforementioned...

would you want Brandon Jennings for one year at 8.3M. Channing Frye will be out there 7.8M. Marvin Williams 7M might be useful. Chandler, Wilson 7.1M OJ Mayo 8M, tho' I don't know that Buck want to move him. Kelvin Martin can score. he's 7M.

that's about it. Maybe Portland gets rid of Arron Afflalo (8M) but I doubt it.

None of them seem that interesting other than maybe Chandler

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
That is the best alternative.

I just wonder how many teams will actually be willing to bolster the Cavs supporting cast for the 2015-2016 season. No one in the East is going to help them do anything.

At worst, Griffin has to come out of this with at least a future asset or 2. Maybe get one of those future Brooklyn picks for taking on the last year of Gerald Wallace's contract. Or trying to salvage someone like Lance Stephenson (I know that sounds crazy on a lot of different levels.) Nic Batum?

Since we know Denver is tearing it all down they'd have to consider Haywood + Joe Harris. He can be a good rotational shooter in a few years. Everyone loves shooters.

That would also make the "RJ Hunter to the Cavs" predictions feasible. They need a new D-League star.


Chandler would be a good pickup, he's come off the bench in the past and you already have done some deals with the Nuggets. I'm not sure what it would take, but they are jettisoning players like crazy right now.

I haven't seen your thoughts on a Warriors / Cavs series, I think yall have a solid chance.

My only concern is with Kyrie hobbled and no Love will they have enough on offense.

They've found their defensive line-up. They know how to play big and play small now. They are communicating. Moz has the rim on lock...teams are shooting 37 percent at the rim when he's in. They've been really good at closing out on 3s as well.

Cavs will have the rebounding advantage again.

They should be able to force turnovers against the Warriors. Warriors still don't have a single defender that can stop LeBron one on one. Barnes/Green/Iggy can't handle him in the post.

I don't think people realize how similar the teams are, especially when GS goes small.

If Kyrie can give you 15-18ppg I think you all have a very real shot of winning, your small lineup has been brutal on squads.

Let them sleep.

They were really good at erasing leads with Kyrie and Love. They would need that in a scenario where Curry and Thompson go off.


Cavs are also a lot tougher mentally than I thought they ever could be. If I told nikkas that Matthew Dellavdova would give it Rose on both ends....in a close out game....in Chicago....in August nikkas would've banned me.

Should be a good series. First time ever LeBron goes into a series as the underdog in like 6-7 years.

If GSW gets to over +110 points it's a wrap. Cavs don't have enough on offense IMO.

To think of all the people who poured in here to mock "cheat code activated" every time the Cavs faltered... now the Cavs are a game from sweeping their way into the finals with a crippled roster

:mjcry:

I encourage yall to read through this thread again if you've got spare time.

If you google the term "cheat code activated" this thread will be on the first page.

shyt belongs in the rafters.
