And I love TT more than anybody on this board probably, but you're crazy if you wouldn't part with him for a legit center, who is arguably the best in the game.

I love tt also but if he's included in a deal for Bynum I'm totally ok with it. Tt won't make us a championship contender but Bynum could.

No it's not. Our picks won't be much if we get Bynum anyway... We should no longer be a lottery team.

The Cavs have had interest in Luis Scola who was amnestied, and he's better than Andy. If we get Bynum and have to ship Andy and TT, we could sign Scola.

This is a franchise changing type deal. It's a deal the Cavs only make if Bynum signs an extension though, and from all accounts, he would.

I did see some rumors that had the Cavs keeping TT, but taking on a bad contract like Hedo or Richardson. I'd be fine with that as well. With Bynum, T2 could roam around the paint defensively. We'd instantly have the best interior defense in the NBA.

Either way, if you have a chance to get Bynum, you do it, especially as a small/mid market team.

Agreed 100% I would love to keep tt but if he is the main piece that brings Bynum here I'm ok with it

There's no chance Orlando would want Varejao. That's the exact opposite of what they're trying to do. It adds an aging, questionable at best contract.

The only player on either the Cavs or Lakers I could possibly see the Magic interested in would be Thompson. Who else would they want? Gee? Goudelock? I'd love for it to happen, but there just aren't enough good pieces there for me to think it's all that realistic.

Orlando wants picks and cap relief. Andy would be someone they can send out at the deadline for more picks. I think this has been the best deal that could realistically could happen.

The Cavs have several picks and the cap space to give Orlando relief.

Great post! I agree as well. While I would prefer to keep TT, there is a much greater need for a player of Bynum's caliber in the post that can take more pressure off of Irving.

I love grant. Apparently he is asking for picks also with Bynum. He has balls of steel.

Kyrie is out of the summer league... Broke his hand in practice mother fuck

Sucks about Kyrie but a broken hand in the middle of July isn't a huge deal. He's supposed to be back in 6-8 weeks.

Did he fracture it on a fall?

hoops23;1225792 wrote:Did he fracture it on a fall?

He hit the mat behind the hoop and just hit it wrong. Said he had no pain really just had an x ray and it revealed a small fracture nothing serious

hoops23;1225792 wrote:Did he fracture it on a fall?

Nope. Got pissed after a turnover and slapped his hand against a mat that didn't have much padding

Rcf crashed lol I guess the trade talks were starting to heat up last I read and then it crashed

Jason Lloyd just tweeted that there is no merit to these talks, as his "source" claims.

However, earlier, Sam Amico said his sources said the talks were legit.. So we'll see who's right.

Yeah, I saw him post on twitter that it was a freak accident. He seems pissed about it...

Good thing is, he'll be ready by training camp.

Bonehead move by Irving. Glad it's not serious though

I wouldnt say slapping a mat is a bonehead move. Happens all the time, just got unlucky.

Yeah, Kyrie is the only athlete to ever slap a soft surface /sarcasm.


What a joke.

Typical passive aggressive trolling by one of OC's biggest trolls. Not surprised.

I am not sure whether he is just dumb as hell or ignorant as hell to believe that nobody see's through his idiotic bullshit. It's hilarious how 95% of this thread doesn't give a shit what he has to say, yet he keeps spewing his typical act in these Cleveland threads.
