Cleveland Cavaliers 11-12 season thread

  If we trade for a lotto pick, why would we want to get our asses kicked in the playoffs by FAILami Cheat? Might as well miss and then have 2 lotto picks. Doesn't make any sense.

  CAVS fans root for their team to lose. I am a bandwagon lakers fan from Ohio, blah blah blah!

  NBA GM says Cavs "one of about 29 teams" to have called Hornets about Eric Gordon but "he's not going anywhere, so cross him off your list."
  
  Cavs will stay in touch w/Hornets however. Hornets said to still be entertaining offers for either of 2 first rounders to dump Okafor deal

  Cavs aggressiveness in taking on $ for 2012 Draft picks, not taking a bad deal for a future pick. CLE wants enough space to go for Asik.
  
  
  Asik, according to sources, will be Cavs primary target in the summer when CLE could have upwards of $30M in space to go after the Bulls RFA

  Seriously? Omer Asik?
• Commander of Awesome

  

  Why? I don't get why he's the sought after FA but ok. We need $30 mil for him? lol. Durkie will buy his jersey.

  Yeah, not a fan of that at all but I'm a HUGE fan of taking on a bad contract for another high draft pick.

  This.

  Count me in the bad contract camp as well. Is it just me or is the NBA getting better about bad contracts? Without Isaiah handing out idiotic contracts bad deals don't seem to be as prevalent. Where are the Brian Cardinal deals when you need them?

  Hmm..
  
  Another day, another win
  
  Cleveland beats Houston 118 - 107
  
  Kyrie with 16 4th quarter points, all in a span of 4 minutes and 14 seconds.
  
  Speaking of 4th quarter scoring in a rookie season:
  
  Kyrie=6.6 pts
  
  LeBron=5.0 pts
  
  Melo=5.0 pts
  
  Durant= 4.9 pts
  
  Stud.

  The cavs are now a half game out of the playoffs. Do we go out and get a sg and try for the playoffs or trade away Jameson and sessions?
• Hb31187

  

  Wheres the thread where people predicted how Kyrie would fair this year? I thought hed be good, but Im pretty sure hes gone over everyones expectations
• Commander of Awesome

  

  He's past my expectations for sure. This team has as well, I really thought we'd be in contention for worst record this season.
• Hb31187

  

  I thought the team would be horrible too, like bottom 5 horrible. Being good actually kinda hurts them, dont wanna be good enough to just make or just miss the playoffs because then you dont have the top draft picks.
• Commander of Awesome

  

  Yup, it will turn us into the Indiana Pacers.
• Crimson streak

  

  It would be nice to get one of NO lottery picks. I know there looking to package it with okafer

  The difference is the Cavs have a potential superstar.
• hoops23

  

  Building through the lottery is a crapshoot as well. For every Kyrie there are two Dajuan Wagners. The teams job is to try and win. It's up to the FO to make the team better.
  
  With that said, the Cavs are only a game or two back from the 4th worst record, so we're not that good. Much improved though.
• Mulva

  

  Toronto just has the Cavs number this year.
  
  Another 0-5 from Gibson. He's been terrible this year. Parker and Casspi contribute nothing again, and the posts continue to do jack.
  
  But Sessions seemingly had a good game and Jamison has 20 again. I really hope someone pulls the trigger on them before Thursday... at least on Jamison, depends what the offer is for Ramon. I just saw the rumor that has the Rockets getting one of the Lakers 1st round picks for Sessions while we end up with Jonny Flynn in a 3 team deal. Fuck that.
• Mulva

  

  Cavs down 2 at the half to Milwaukee.
  
  How the hell does Drew Gooden have 9 first half assists?

  Cuz he is awesome. /discussion
• KR1245

  

  Gee is playing a good game
  
  I dont know how many steals he has but he was all over the place to start the game
• Wooball

  

  Sam Amico still saying Sessions likely to be dealt today. Thinks Jamison will remain a Cav. Deadline is nearing.
