Cleveland Cavaliers 11-12 season thread

  • KR1245
    I'd be ok with the latest mock from DraftExpress:

    MKG
    Nicholson (I'd be alright with White or Q Miller here as well)
    Barton (rather see Lamb with this pick)
    Plumlee

    Royce White impressed me both on and off the court at the combine today.
  • Commander of Awesome
    He speak about his anxiety?
  • ohiobucks1
    Yeah, he said he has it under control with the help of his mom, doctor, and most importantly the love of his son.

    He was very well spoken

    Nice. If that's the case if take a serious look at him at 24. His skillset is fantastic.

    Saw that Robinson worked Drummond during their Cavs workout the other day. Hopefully this means the Cavs stay away from Drummond at 4.

    There is a rumor that the Cavs are in talk with GSW about the 7th pick

    T-Rob is gonna be a beast in the NBA. His style is more suited for the NBA than college, and he tore up college.

    Why do you say this? Tristan Thompson?

    No because I don't think T-Rob will be a great pro.

    Why do you think this? This is contradictory to everything I've read, legit EVERYTHING.

    I don't think his ceiling is that high.

    I saw something on a friend's twitter, not anything credible, that the Cavs might be looking at giving Varajeo to Sac for their pick and Dallas' pick somehow. I dont know if he pulled it out of his ass or what, because I havent heard anything about that.

    Mainly because I think he will get beat consistently on defense. I don't think he has good enough feet in the post. I like him as a player in college but I don't think he's going to be a great pro.
  • SportsAndLady
    Def agree about his defense..he's not a good post defender, at all. For how quick he is, he gets beaten quite a bit in the post. Just luckily had Withey behind him most of the time to cover that up.

    And I'm not saying I want the Cavs to take him..becuase we have a 4. Just saying he's going to be really good wherever he goes.

    He VERY well could be. It's just my opinion and I'm def no talent evaluator.

    I had a huge argument today w/ some Chicago fans

    I said I'd take Kyrie Irving over Derrick Rose on my team right now...they're ready to check me into a mental institute

    Am I that crazy to think that?

    Irving is 20 and Rose is 23 so Irving has a bit more youth on his side. Now I know that Kyrie has been banged up a bit but Rose, at least to me, seems like an "old" 23. Seems like he's constantly injured. Not really sure what his NBA shelf life will be.
  • Rotinaj
    I dont know if id currently take Kyrie over D Rose. I mean D Rose did just win an MVP. But, I would most certainly take the type of PG Kyrie is over D Rose any day of the week(like a steve nash)

    Kyrie is a true PG IMO. Rose is a tweener.

    Rose is a product of media hype. Irving is the real deal. No you aren't crazy.

    Are you saying you would take D Rose over Irving if you had to win a title THIS year? Because I said I'd take D Rose over Irving if I had one year to win something.

    My point was if I could swap Irving for D rose, I wouldn't.
  • hoops23
    Irving is a better ballhandler, shooter, floor general, and smarter player. Rose is the better jumper and athlete... Both are super fast, but Rose is a bit quicker/explosive.

    I'd take Kyrie over Rose... I'd also take CP3 and DWill over Rose.
  • Mulva
    Obviously at this point you have to take Rose. If Kyrie progresses the way he looks like he will, then in 2-3 years the answer could be very different.
