    If Sanders is trash or he is purely to "take a flier", I'd rather have the D-league contingent.
    Fine, get rid of Birdman, McRae, Liggins, Felder. EZ

    Agreed. Those players are straight trash. I said that at the beginning of the season and everyone disagreed with me.

    But I'm just a troll and I know nothing about basketball. Carry on.

    Well Felder is a rookie, I could easily see him being a value guy off the bench in a few yrs. Takes time, def not writing him off. As for McRae/Liggins, I could see him being useful as well but Lue isn't giving him a consistent defined role or minutes. Hard to develop when you're playing penis flickers from the bench.

    Felder has no place in the NBA. Sorry. Reality.

    Just another overpaid bench warmer who's friends with Lebron.

    LBJ will QQ too hard. Good locker room guy, I'd cut the others first.

    Anyone hearing the chatter that the Cavs and Knicks are talking about a Melo for JR/Shump + asset swap?

    No thanks.

    He'd QQ if they acquired Curry, Cousins, Antetokounmpo, and '95-96 Jordan.

    I wish the Melo rumors would fuck off. He's not a backup PG or interior defender. Also, they don't have a lot of depth so they'd be giving up two reliable players for one. When Love inevitably gets hurt again, then they'd be down three players.

    I get it's January but Cleveland right now will not beat the Celtics or Raptors in a series. Their defense is absolutely terrible

    I assume you didn't take the time to pay attention to the Raptors and realize they have gone 2-5 their last 7 games.

    Let's cut the young guys and hang onto James Jones! Team chemistry depends on him!

    No I have. And it's not that Cleveland is losing as much as it is their D looks awful. I will say they've looked pretty good in the 3rd and that and one by Lebron was nuts

    Minus the GSW game, Cleveland shows up to play against the good teams win/lose. This happens every year classy, you got got.

    Cavs looking good today, def and ball movement. Who knew?!?

    Korver looked good, Felder having a nice half, let's hope the shit slump is over.

    Celtics have been playing well but I don't think they ultimately have the horses to stop Playoff LBJ.

    Raptors? LOL

    Washington has been playing very well too. I'd rather play Toronto over them.

    Just like the last 2 years, if the Cavs don't win the east it's a colossal failure.

    I don't want Melo even if we get him for a bag of basketballs. However, if it makes LeGM happy, then its probably worth it.
  • SportsAndLady
    Kevin Love has been a beast this second half.

    Literally since this TNT announcer said the NYT is reporting lebron is asking the FO to make the Love-for-Melo trade. Lol

    I'm at the game. Wtf was that technical on TT for?
