Dion has hit the rookie wall. He's not playing consistent and has moments where he looks great and others where he looks lost...

He's a rookie. He's still averaging 14 PPG and is getting better defensively. The team sucks as a whole... Outside of Kyrie, Dion, Thompson, and Andy, there isn't much here..

It seems like the Cavs are playing for another top pick, but after this next draft, moves have to be made to make this team competitive...

I agree. There has to be no other excuse as to why Luke Walton is in the rotation. Kevin Jones looked alright when he got in the second half. I give Scott & Co this year, but next season I expect improvement to happen. I think Thompson's improvement should give the Cavs more incentive to trade Andy. Think it may be time to part ways with Boobie as well if we can get what we think he is worth.

Not sure how I would feel about that. It would at least give us some more depth, but not really if we would lose Pekovic at the end of the season.

Would love Rudy Gay. He'd make us a playoff team IMO

Rudy Gay is one of my favorite non-Cavaliers. That'd be awesome.

Well we also have multiple first round picks for the next 3 years I believe.

That's true, I just can't see them unloading gay for picks. They are built to win right now

Same. Maybe if they still have Mayo. Besides a team who needs Andy, our best bet to acquire talent is probably through FA.

It depends on the picks really if the cavs are willing to do an unprotected 1st for next year I think it could

Y! Sources: Cleveland Cavaliers forward Omri Casspi, the first Israeli-born NBA player, has requested a trade

realcavsfans.com ‏@realcavsfans I'm sure Woj had to ask who the hell Omri Casspi was and if he played in the NBA.

Casspi for Kevin Love, do it now. T'Wolves/Kahn would be fools to pass that up.

On NBA 2K13 I traded for him lol. I had Irving, Waiters, Gay and traded for Robinson and Hickson. Went 42-40 and made the playoffs simulating. Those were legit trades too

RealCavsFans is in panic mode after the Byron Scott quote about Andy saying he "hopes he'll be able to play again this year". Also it's been reported Andy is not close to coming back. If so, this will greatly hurt his trade value and one of the team's biggest assets in gaining more picks/young players.
