NBA Champion - Cleveland Cavaliers 2016-2017 Season Thread

    I find complete validation, once again, of myself correctly calling the dumpster fire that is the D-league contingent. I was the only one who said Felder, McRae, and Liggins would amount to jack shit in this league. I hope we cut them all tomorrow or trade them for paper bags. Absolute garbage.

    Damn. I'm with you. If he can hit 40% from 3 combined with what he does...he's the guy I want.

    GSW is flipping us off though.

    That's what I found too, that he's playing in Serie-A in Italy on a team with David Lighty.

    Ah yes, must have been blinded by love of Aaron Craft.
  • sportswizuhrd
    Either the Jazz own his rights now or he is an NBA/DLeague Free Agent. The Warriors D-League team traded him to the Jazz D-League team in September.

    His Italian teams stats...

    Cavs contacted Mavs about Derron Williams.

    Hard to imagine dwill coming in playing a role he's never played and being a difference maker.

    Unless he wants to rot away in Dallas. But his contract is up end of the season so I guess he can do whatever next year.

    You guys aren't going to believe this but Stu Gotz is on Sportscenter bashing Lebron and defending Barkley. They couldn't find a bigger douchebag Miami homer? Lebatard was too busy?

    I might be in the minority here, but I don't think what Barkley said was wrong. Cavs have given everything Lebron has asked for and he still cries every year mid season.
  • Azubuike24
    You can't blame ownership for the J.R. Smith injury either. Not that it's an excuse because the Cavs are hardly looking like a defending champ, but are they really struggling badly enough to warrant LeBron's bitching if he's 100%? I don't think so.

    You aren't. Lebron is crying like a baby despite having the highest payroll ever on guys that he(at his agent's benefit) wanted.

    I still like him coming out against Barkley though.

    You're not in the minority. I actually haven't seen a take that say otherwise (might be one, just aint seen it). Not FO's fault for lack of hustle/def/ball movement. That's on the players.

    Can he still play? Is he in shape? Is he mentally ready to play?

    No to any of the above questions means no thanks.
  • sleeper
    Rumor is the Cavs are going to sign both Rio and Stephenson. Possible that McRae/Liggins/Birdman are cut/traded.

    Yes. He was a stud back in the day, take a fucking flier and hope for a payoff. Can't hurt esp for a vet min.

    We don't have unlimited bench space so we don't have the luxury of "taking a flier". This is a championship contending team; taking a flier is for trash building for next year.

    If Sanders is trash or he is purely to "take a flier", I'd rather have the D-league contingent.
