Of course there is going to be overreaction with this, but I will say I am not a fan of him not being with the team when he is rehabbing. It sends the wrong message imo, and those guys need the leadership he spoke about in his letter. Not greeting his new teammates comes off badly.HighRoller74;1694228 wrote:http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/12138531/lebron-james-cleveland-cavaliers-heads-miami-rehab-back-knee
Does LeBron miss Miami, is he scouting possible homes, did he enroll his kids in school? The world wants to know where he is, every minute.

This. Good god this. GM has been nothing short of fucking incredible.like_that;1694258 wrote:I am not as enthusiastic about the trade as some here (probably because the Cavs have looked like complete shit since mid december), but the difference between these trades and the trades you mentioned are the cavs actually have two legit players with Lebron already. At some point something has got to give. The GM has worked pretty damn hard to get a good team on paper. The players and coaches need to fucking deliver now.

Just goes back to when he was here the 1st time around. Didn't greet/meet Michael Redd, so he went elsewhere.like_that;1694259 wrote:Of course there is going to be overreaction with this, but I will say I am not a fan of him not being with the team when he is rehabbing.

Nate Wolters was waived by the Bucks. Cavs ought to look into bringing him in as a backup PG. He's better than Delly!

@mcten: David Blatt says he doesn't expect Timofey Mozgov to play tonight vs GSW. Still has to pass a physical.

Well then, I expect cavs to lose by 20+ and mozgov to produce the trillion 0 star line.

how many of you have actually watched the bucks and know how good Wolters is? (obviously not very if he was waived by THE BUCKS)

Actually, I think it has something to do with the quality of the PG depth... Brandon Knight, Jared Bayless, and Kendall Marshall are pretty impressive depth. I've actually BEEN to both home games vs. the Bucks this year, and like what I saw from Wolters in comparison to Delly.Pick6;1694566 wrote:how many of you have actually watched the bucks and know how good Wolters is?

He did not play the first game, but played 16 mins in the NYE game due to Bayless being out. But fair enough.Dr. KnOiTaLL;1694567 wrote:Actually, I think it has something to do with the quality of the PG depth...

Sorry, I went to the pre-season game and the NYE game. Other than that, I've not seen him much, but I know PG is a position of weakness for us outside of Kyrie, so I think he'd be worth a look. Couldn't be any worse than what Price brought to the table lolPick6;1694568 wrote:He did not play the first game, but played 16 mins in the NYE game due to Bayless being out. But fair enough.

yeah i'm not disagreeing with you, just seemed a little out there that people had an opinion on the 4th string PG for the Bucks who has been in the league for barely over a season lol. I'd say def give him a shot. He was a great player at SDSU. But also, doesn't Shumpert have some PG experience? Would have swore he played it for the Knicks a few seasons ago.Dr. KnOiTaLL;1694569 wrote:Sorry, I went to the pre-season game and the NYE game.

He has. He's always kind of been a hybrid type player... a guy that can play 1-3, and defend each just as well. Definitely pumped to have him on the squad, I see him playing more SG though.Pick6;1694571 wrote:yeah i'm not disagreeing with you, just seemed a little out there that people had an opinion on the 4th string PG for the Bucks who has been in the league for barely over a season lol.

JR Smith is a bigger black hole than Waiters and it isnt even close. Only thing that makes the trade sufferable is getting Shumpert (if he can stay healthy).

Mozgov will do wonders for this team. Finally able to get a rebound for once. Has a nice offensive game as well it looks.

Entertaining game so far. Cavs 5. Miller. Mozgov. Love. Irving. Delly.. Nostradamus couldn't have predicted that.

Smith is a black hole at times but when he's on you want him to keep shooting. He can light you up for 30+ quick. But when he's off good god it just gets ugly lolPick6;1694583 wrote:JR Smith is a bigger black hole than Waiters and it isnt even close.
