  Rubio being actively shopped around. That'd be a much better option to me than the rumored Rondo deal from a few weeks ago. Don't know what could be packaged though

  We got jack shit to offer. Not gonna happen. Our best hope is Deron Williams agrees to a buy out from Dallas and wants to come here on the cheap. Otherwise we have to hope for Jarret Jack, Cole, Chalmers.

  Doesn't Rubio start for the Twolves anyways? Thought Cavs were looking for a back-up.

  Saw a trade rumor out there that made me so angry lol. 3 team trade with the lakers and Knicks, cavs giving TT, shump, and Liggins and getting Melo.
  
  It's a junk rumor. But I always get intrigued by those crazy rumors. And this one is awful for the cavs.

  Some observations as the Cavs are currently down 14 to the Davis-less Pelicans.
  1) The bench has given awful production the last couple of weeks
  2)The lineup of James-Frye-Liggins-RJ-Korver is absolute garbage. I don't know why Lue goes with it. Some stats to go with it from last game, and now carrying over to tonight's game with this death lineup. I don't know how to embed a tweet but here goes...
  "YOURE GONNA WANT TO SIT DOWN FOR THIS ONE Y'ALL In 8 minutes tonight Liggins/Korver/LeBron/RJ/Frye20.2 oRTG196.5 dRTG-176.3 net rating"
  3)Frye is GOD AWFUL on defense. He either gets muscled, gets blown by, or fouls everyone.

  70 points to New Orleans in one half. Cavs are ready for the all star break smfh.
• Ironman92

  

  Call a damn foul smh
• Ironman92

  

  Crazy that Love seems uncomfortable on the line but is shooting 87%.....though he shoots them about 60% when I tune in
• Ironman92

  

  Kyrie....love him
• Benny The Jet

  

  Jones has been killing Lebron 1-1. All night
• Ironman92

  

  Holliday takes 4 steps but no travel then Jones of course gets fouled
• Ironman92

  

  Piss poor defense. Unacceptable
• SportsAndLady

  

  Crazy numbers by the big 3 tonight.
  
  Lebron triple double, Kyrie 49 pts, K Love 26,16, and 6.

  And fucking lose to the Pelicans without Anthony Davis

  29.0 PPG off the bench this year and that is the 3rd lowest in the league. Golden State is only 2 spots higher, Spurs are 12th, Rockets at 8th and Raps at 21st.
  
  29.0 PPG - 28th
  16.9 MPG - 26th
  11.5 RPG - 29th
  30.3 Efficiency - 28th
  
  Griffin might need to get some bench help before the deadline or Lue needs to play them more and sit the starters more.

  LBJ QQ'd pretty hard after this game. I'm not super worried, I'll just say we tend to QQ a lot about Jan basketball in Cleveland recently.

  The team does have some obvious depth issues mainly due to injuries. The fact that we have to play any of the D-league contingent in the NBA is a joke.
  
  The issue is, I don't see the Cavs having any more ammunition to get someone via trade so it looks like the roster is locked for the rest of the year.
