I literally couldn't care less about how exciting we are to watch if we're not good enough to win the championship.

+1. Winning is the only entertainment Cleveland cares about.

Rookies. Undrafted guys. Euro players looking for a break.

And the D League fills a team, I believe. Like an "all star" team of D Leaguers.

He's going to be so awesome.

I watched everyone of his Kansas games, and all I could think about was how in the hell this guy was in college bball. His game is made for the nba.

Blatt and Lou are both coaching.


It's just summer league, I know, I know. But from what I've watched, (part of the first two games and all of this one), I've thought as a team the Cavs looked so-so. But, when you look at the score, the Cavs are running train. I think this small sample plays into what a great coach Blatt really is. Obviously any coach will look good with Bron, but this guy is going to be worth every dollar and then some of his contract. I hope he is around for a very long time.

I only saw wiggins in the tourney so I didn't have a lot of exposure to him, but I'm sold. You can rest lebron and keep wiggins on the floor and he'll keep momentum going.

Here's my take. Wiggins needs to start bc he's miles ahead of waiters on d. Waiters is a good scoring option off the bench.

even as a big fan of Waiters, I agree. Waiters is still a solid on ball defender though, IMO. Maybe the best the Cavs had last year (not saying much). I'm completely content with Waiters being in a 6th man/James Harden-ish role, but I'm not sure if he is.

I'd be inclined to start Bennett as a stretch 4 and play small

Wiggins and lebron equals two shut down guys for the wings. Varajao is solid in the back tho doesn't get a lot of blocks. Bennett is big and long for 6-8.

Thats who I roll with if I'm Blatt

Do teams have rights to undrafted and euro players?

I've been following Waiters on Twitter. Seems like he definitely thinks he should be starting. I'm worried about his attitude on this team. Hoping Bron comes in and snaps him out of it.

I'm worried about his attitude too. He needs to come off the bench and score. That's his role on this team.

I admire the competitive spirit. If he doesn't accept whatever role he is put into and is not willing to be a team player, then he needs to be shown the door. Winning will fix a lot of things.
