RUMOR: some CAVS players have doubt they will win the title

[BigMoneyGrip]

Bron out of there

 

[Organic Trees]

Once everyone realize that this is the era of the Warriors. The Cavs will have to let this project go. When the reports of Kyrie being traded started happening. I was always under the impression that Bron was leaving due to the age and contracts of the roster. Even though he was at fault because he forced the front office to resign Jr, Shump and TT way above their actual worth. The team always had issues in the regular season but they managed to fix them and go on runs.. But this year seem different. Too many one way old players and not enough size, length and youth. You gotta have a decent balance or else you end up with this current Cavalier squad. Doesn't help when you have coach who is way too damn loyal and incompetent.

I'm sure there are players on that team doubting they'll win this year but I don't think any of them are talking to fukking Dave McMenamin about it.

The Cavs time as a championship team is over, couldn't last forever.

Bron not a killer or the goat like MJ And what love said was true. Did MJ ever give anyone a reason to question how hard he plays

To be fair to LeBron, even though he put himself in this position, he still has a far bigger workload than Jordan did at the same stage of their respective careers. I'm not specifically directing this towards you, but folks shouldn't use LeBron coming up short, or having difficulty with his competition, or not playing consistent defense, against him in favor of Jordan; about how Jordan would've done this or Jordan would've done that. Because make no mistake about it, you replace LeBron with Jordan on this Cavs team and they'd have the same problems, and the same results (perhaps worse). Obviously now, that shouldn't be used as an excuse for the situation that LeBron has put himself in, but it's just something to keep in mind when comparing him to Jordan. LeBron's a victim of his own environment more than anything else.

@Miami316 I've met my pro-Lebron argument quota for the week.

Earl's contract

Tristan's contract

Tryna get Kyrie traded for Bulter or George

Tryna make it seem like Kyrie was wrong for wanting out after he learned he was on the block.



I wonder if he will try to talk Altman and Gilbert into moving that Nets pick. I would tell him to kick rocks especially after learning he wouldn't commit long term.

Only issue with this post is Bron didnt try to get Kyrie traded. Gilbert came to Bron after Griffin try/wanted to trade Kyrie for Bledsoe and George. Bron was non committal about resigning and told he wouldnt ok the trade. Kyrie got wind and thought Bron set it up. Jackie Mcmullin and other sources said Bron didnt orchestrate that.

I don't think they believe they will make it back to the Finals.

Ultimately, LeBron is to blame for all of this.

shameless

Just waiting to see which Cavalier becomes a Warrior next season

Wrong... LeBron said that it was too good of a deal to pass up and wanted them to pull the trigger.

They handled the Kyrie situation poorly.

They were supposed to either get PG13 or Jimmy Butler (someone who could actually defend and help against GS) or tell Kyrie to eat a dikk and play out his contract like the Lakers did Kobe.

Now they've painted themselves into a corner where they're going to have to start rebuilding and it's a matter of when.

you nailed it, Cavs should've called kyrie's bluff and made him the bad guy if he sat out for a trade


instead Kyrie is the leading MVP candidate in Boston

Tristan needs to get the fukk outta there. Garbage.

Shumpert as well. Garbage.

Wade's shot is broken. He should just facilitate and assist.

JR's shot is broken.

IT's shot is going to swatted out of the air. He can't defend anyone either.

Love has been fairly good.

Yeah im just comparing their skillset where bron is kinda in the middle of MJ and Magic. He's not gonna try to will his team to a win like MJ or even Kobe because he's more likely to pass to open teammates whether they're hot or not. His skillset is just different which I don't have a problem with While I don't expect him to be Jordan I can't excuse the lack of defensive effort especially compared to Jordan Now I know Pippen took on the best wing player to give MJ a break but even when lebron draws a lesser defensive assignment he's still too lackadaisical for me at times He has to to a better job at setting the tone on defense for these guys. They shouldn't be getting blown out like they were in consecutive games

@Gil Scott-Heroin come put this boy back in his place.

 

[Keengcong]

Cavs send
TT
JR
Unprotected Nets pick

Grizz send
Gasol
Evans

Cavs get 2 starters that play both ends and Grizz get to go full tank mode and another lottery pick.

What say you LeGM?

I think the trade worked for both sides
