^ That article said that he compares best to Andris Biedrins. Not really what I'm looking for from a 4th overall.

I haven't seen that one, but I did the new Ramon Sessions commercial. I think he says "I don't always watch the NBA playoffs, but when I do, I watch them from my living room recliner"

I'd get a refund from that comedy school...just sayin'
Why is that directed at me? It was BR's joke I just changed the names/teams

I was looking at the numbers more than the comparisons

It also says Biednrins meets Noah. If Kanter and Williams are gone this kid might be the best option

Are you comparing Lebron to Ramon Sessions?



Yeah, you really "hate Lebron".....you defend the dude every chance you get





Anyways, I'm starting to like what I hear about Valicinuas, I wouldnt have a problem with the Cavs taking him 4th
Not comparing them, just picked the first Cavs player I thought of. You guys are the only group of people that I know who would find solace in the fact that Lebron occasionally misses shots in the PLAYOFFS while your team sits at home

UGHHHHH, STFU no one cares

As for the Lithuanian dude...no thanks. I'd rather have Tristan Thompson over him.

Dude. At least come out of the "Lebron James fanclub" closet. You claim that you hate the guy and yet all you do is defend him. I havent seen you make a single negative comment in regards to Lebron since he left Cleveland

You're a Bengals fan right? Did you enjoy watching the Steelers lose the SB while your team was home on the couch? Its the same damn thing

No he only made critical comments while he played for the Cavs. Typical.

Because no Cavs fan likes basketball and has general interest in the conference finals....everyone is watching solely to root against LeBron and the Heat! SMH

Ryen Russillo on ESPN NBA Today thinks Minnesota takes Kanter at #2. Thinks Williams could slip to us at #4.

His shit is tired. He needs to stop trying to make everything a Cleveland thing. You mean fans root against teams/players that they dont like? Wow! Shocking stuff

Anways, I would love to have Williams at 4 and I could see it happening. I def think the Jazz are taking Knight. I could see the Wolves taking a center to play next to Love

You can't be naive enough to think that that doesn't describe a decent amount of Cavs fans. They're watching in hopes to see the Bulls beat LeBron. They're not watching the other series, so it's not like they're just watching for the basketball. And remember, I said a DECENT AMOUNT--I'm not including everyone in that.

I think thats why alot of people are watching the playoffs. People need to realize that its not only Cleveland fans that dont like Bron or that team. Has anybody else been watching the playoffs or regular season? Bron gets booed every time he touches the ball, regardless of the city.

Annnnnnnnnnnd? He got booed in every arena when he was with the Cavs. And now he's the villain of the NBA, so that's a given. But didn't someone say that Cleveland was the 3rd biggest market for game 1? I wonder if they were for game 2, and if anyone knows where to get those numbers, I wonder where Cleveland ranked for the Mavs/Thunder game...

Come on. Not the same way that he has been this year. I understand that you're a Lebron fan but there is no comparison.

You both should reread the thread title.


I was watching some highlights of Kanter last night. He seems legit, very fundamentally sound.

I know its more than likely the consensus to take Irving, but I still think Williams+Knight if possible would be the better situation.

This is a good option and its there if the Cavs want it

I dont think you can pass on Irving though. The kid is the class of this draft imo, its a PG driven league and hes the best player/pg in the draft.

Never defended him. In fact I called him out for "The Decision" as it happened. I generally jump in when I see somebody who cannot take the emotion out of things. (i.e. calling him Scottie Pippen, saying he isn't a top 5 player, making photoshop images of him and posting it in every single Heat related thread, etc).

I agree calling Lebron Scottie Pippen is wrong and should be called out. Pippen has 6 rings and was a major part of a dynasty. Lebron...not so much, it really is an insult to Pippen.

Does that mean Will Perdue and Toni Kukoc are better than Lebron too?

Yeah sports are weird that way by giving out Rings to everyone on the team including trainers even if they didn't contribute as much as other people or didn't play hardly at all.
