Lack of shooting. I know they can beat up the Dubs on the glass but KD does add rebounding in this frontcourt as well the fact he is another deadeye shooter who lessens chances for the Cavs to rebound.Why wouldnt it work in the finals?
Love wasnt shooting well this past finals, so u could say there was a lack of shooting last finals. Cousins, Bron, and TT will punish them on the boards, KD not helping that much. As far as GS shooting, they all been wildly inconsistent in 2 finals. KD is one of the best scorers in the game, but he gonna have to prove himself too in a potential finals appearence. He was inconsistent ass hell too in the wcfLack of shooting. I know they can beat up the Dubs on the glass but KD does add rebounding in this frontcourt as well the fact he is another deadeye shooter who lessens chances for the Cavs to rebound.

man if that trade don't involve Ben McLemore..![]()
It works in small doses it works but as the starting 5 for 7 games? I don't know. And all those things are true but Cousins is not a better shooter than Love. He's also turnover prone which is crucial against Golden State. I know Love's purpose (though I wish Bron would play the 4 and Love ain't Bosh) but Cousins much more of a traditional big than a stretch big.Even in small doses it works in the finals. Make the warriors match up to you. That size is gonna kill the warriors on the other end.
Remember the cavs played small but the main reason they won the series is because they are a much more physical team than the warriors. They slowed the game down, did not turn the ball over, ran when they could and killed the warriors on the boards.
Plus cousins does everything that love does and many of those things better (posting up, shooting and scoring). Cousins is also an exceptional passer.
I always said the reason for love was so Lebron would not get beaten up playing the four during the regular season and against certain match ups in the eastern conference playoffs.
The goal is to keep Lebron healthy and fresh during the season and eastern playoffs. So he can go wild in the finals and have energy left.
The cavs need a dominate scorer to help out (help kyrie) when Lebron is resting during the season or on cruise control during the season.

Why the fukk would the Kings do it?
i hear rumors it was for k.Love and shump+ a pick..
frye should be kept he is devastating for most team..and now that GSW is getting rid of so many of its core team.. he might become devastating to them too.
yeeah but they drafted a big.. and also got another BIG recently...if it's cleveland's pick, that's basically worthless. I mean what do the kings think they're gonna get? They know cousins wants out, and with love and shumpert, at least those two are already signed for some years.

If it was the same Dubs team from last year I'd feel different but KD is an exponential upgrade in scoring, versatility, and size. This lineup destroys the East till June but after that
Bron is my favorite player so I want him to prove me wrong with or without Cousins.
i need that...It probably would if it happens. Rich wants Ben out of Sacramento.
shyt, just trade Shump & a future pick for Ben & Kosta...
