What was okc's record the first couple years with all their young talent? I love this cavs team. They make young and dumb mistakes, but they play hard and are getting better. Reminds me of the reds for a few years before they won the central. They were a ton of fun to watch but just made too many mistakes. But learning the hard way isn't such a bad thing.

I don't like Zeller and so far I don't like Waiters. Not too cool with Miles either. Whether you people like to admit it or not, they have a few bad players on this team. They are 16-35 for a reason. Hellooo? 16-35. That's me not being a troll...just a guy who periodically looks at the standings. That's not a good record...10 games away from a playoff spot. Hellooo? This is a sportsboard right? Right? And I'm a shmuck for saying so?

If you and the other vaginas don't like me critiquing my team, then go find another site....because that is what these boards are about.
So, you call people out for remembering your completely idiotic predictions, yet it is ok for you to remember what otrap says? LMFAO.

Victor Oladipo with a late first round pick would be a great addition for this Cavs team going forward.

He would be a great 6th man off the bench. Instantly brings a ton of energy. Lets hope the lakers make the playoffs as an 8 seed.

You win in the NBA with superstars. The Nuggets are a good regular season team but I highly doubt they make it out of the 2nd round and wouldn't be surprised if they lost in the first.

Bit off topic, but what Lebron is doing right now is exactly what we Cavs fans wanted him to do and knew he could do when he was in Cleveland. It was so frustrating watching him chuck up 18 foot jumpers, when he could have easily done what he's doing now. 5 straight games w/ 30 points and 60+ fg% is insane.

I never said anything about Denver winning a title, but I do think they are a better team than San Antonio and LAC...

If Denver and the Clippers met, I'd take Denver... San Antonio would be a toss up because of their experience and the Head coach, thought George Karl is no slouch either.

If the draft were today would you take Shabazz Muhammad or Nerlens Noel given the current Cavs roster?

Shabazz...

You need a dynamic wing in today's NBA... You put him with Kyrie, Dion, and T2? Nasty, nasty core for YEARS to come.

I would take Noel (cant count on Andy and i just see Zeller as a role player) even though I'd like more of a stretch center to compliment playing with TT and Kyrie. I'm sold on bringing a wing in for 2014 via FA or trade.

Take Noel and go for the last tank to get Jabari Parker in 2014.

Kyrie, Dion, Parker, TT, Noel as your 2014-15 Cleveland Cavs opening day lineup.

I think personally I have to take Shabazz if he's available. I'm done tanking. Kyrie Dion Shabazz TT Oden

Same here, and I don't think we'll be in the running for Wiggins/Parker in 2014. Just me being funny.

I hate that my only hangup on Shabazz is his height. I worry he'd have trouble guarding the Durant, LBJ and Carmelo's in the league. But he's strong, athletic and has long arms that can make up for his height.

I think the whole "Durant for MVP" thing really got to him. He can say all he wants about not caring about individual awards, but the reality says otherwise.

You can't keep tanking.

If you keep tanking to try and get the best player eveyr year, you'll never improve.

And there is no guarantee you'll even get that player, even if you have the worst record. Ths should be, in theory, the last "tank," it's time to start winning next season.

This is the last season I want to "tank". I expect to make the playoffs every year after this year until Irving leaves the Cavs with a championship.

Shabazz is a beast. There's actually quite a few guys in the top 10 of the draft I wouldn't mind.

It sucks that the player I think works best with KI is Anthony Bennett, but drafting a PF would be an absolute waste.

Even if Oden signs with the Cavs, he has a long way to go before we can count on him for the future.

PS- I have to believe Oden to the Cavs is essentially a lock.

Sam Amico @SamAmicoFSO Heat have removed themselves from Greg Oden derby, sources say. Both Cavs and Bobcats prepared to make Oden offer after trading deadline.
