I don't really see Gee playing a role on a reasonably talented team unless he beats out Casspi (who I would hope and assume will get moved to the bench as soon as we get a couple of wings in here). Based on how they're both playing right now though that's entirely possible.

I just looked at the Cavs full schedule for the 1st time. It's a shame that probably 6 of the 8 worst teams in the NBA are in the east, because I think the Cavs are going to end up winning more games than I originally anticipated due to the unbalanced schedule. Not enough to make the playoffs, but enough to not get a top 3-5 pick.

I originally figured 18-20 wins and now I'm thinking more like 25.

There are still 13 more games against Washington (0-7), Charlotte (2-5), New Jersey (2-6), Detroit (2-5), and Toronto (3-4 but 1-4 against teams other than the Cavs).

We now know who wears the pants in that relationship. Cavs looking good, Kevin Love is too skinny.

IMO, Gee is better than Casspi. I mean, if contending teams have had players like Shannon Brown, Ketih Bogans, Ronnie Brewer, etc, then I'm sure Gee could find a spot on a "good" team if the Cavs continue to improve. He's already showed a high motor and work ethic with the improvements he's made in 1 season.

Casspi doesn't belong on the floor, even with the team they have now.

Gee is better than how Casspi is playing right now. I think Casspi is more skilled, but he's sure not showing it. Maybe he just hasn't found his role yet with the almost nonexistent preseason.

Alonzo Gee is the most improved player on this team and along with Gibson,Samuels and Sessions off the bench is a solid for the backups. The Cavs just need to get another solid guard to go along with Irving and a SF to fill out the starting lineup.

Anyway, before the idiot decided to interrupt the thread, have you all seen the brutal stretch of games the Cavs will be running into? They will definitely get their losses in lol.

hate to say it but there are some terrible teams this season. Wizard and Nets are in the battle for worst record I think. I just hope Cavs end up with a top 5 pick.

Definitely are, but the Cavs are not going to have the 21st pick like that mock draft that was posted earlier in this thread lol.

This draft will be loaded assuming the freshman actually come out this year unlike last year. As long as We get in the lottery ill be happy...they'll get a playmaker.

Yeah, I mean, a top 8 pick and we could still get a legit player. MKG is looking better and better to me.
