  He sucks worse than Bogut did. No thanks. Don't sign a fucking guy for something he did 10 yrs ago.

  JJ Hickson sucks.

  I'd be okay with that but he's old and questionable at best. I'd rather go with younger trash than older trash if possible.

  Yes he does suck.

  Slim pickings, but at least Bogut got hurt right away, so the cavs should be able to make a move pretty quickly.

  Josh Smith and Larry Sanders are the only names I've heard that make sense to me. I looked up Hansbrough stats, 43% FG and a bad rebounding rate. No thanks on him either.

  Yeah, but will Josh Smith chuck shitty ass shots? He is intriguing, because he is at least currently playing at a pro level (China, I know) and should be in basketball shape.

  Josh Smith sucks.
  
  Sanders has the most upside but there's a reason no one wanted to sign him. He could be washed up.

  Well he used to be athletic at least I guess. Good rebounder and solid defender. We're talking about a back up's back up but we could do worse.

  Same failgument could have been made for Pryor as well. How'd that work out?

  He earned his spot on the team in the off season. Why can't Larry Sanders go prove himself in China?

  Also wouldn't mind Larry for a potential future roster spot.

  He already proved himself: http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/9585644/larry-sanders-signs-contract-extension-milwaukee-bucks
  
  Any other fails?
  
  He avg 10 pts, 10 boards and close to 3 blks. I'll take that.

  I'd take that that too but that was in 2013. Since then, he quit basketball for 2 years, smokes pot every day, has committed a felony and had just about every team that had a roster spot open completely pass on him, including the Cavs.

  Start a 6:48. Case for Lebron MVP.
• Benny The Jet

  

  I'll be pretty happy when we don't have to start RJ and Shump. That's why I'm taking this rough stretch with a grain of salt. They'll shorten that bench come playoffs, Love & JR healthy...can't come soon enough.

  Geesh. Lose much?

  Defensive effort is all-star game like

  Well, that was a strong move by LeBron

  This team is garbage right now. They are going to lose the 1 seed if they want to continue this half ass approach.

  Tried to play hard defense last 5 minutes but always had one or two players break down. Shumpert didn't box out twice and had trouble on Jackson.

  Pistons seem like they're one player away from being a real team in the east. Shocked Cleveland didn't win with Lebron going off but Drummond went off

  They seem to play all but a few minutes at 70% effort. It's really quite embarrasssing.

  You have said this the last 3 years. The pistons are nowhere near a contender in the East.
