Yeah that's true, I've def seen him pout on the court.

Yeah, he's gone!!!!1111 /BSPN

Him opting out would be footwedge-level dumb. Opting in would allow him to be a free agent during what will likely be the most lucrative summer in NBA history after the cap makes the massive jump next year.

Keep in mind that Love has been the man pretty much everywhere he's been at every level, it's tough to suddenly step into a role as a 3rd wheel. I struggled with this personally in college ball, so I realize how tough it is to suddenly become a role player, more or less. It's interesting to figure out how to fit and play without the ball when you're used to dominating the ball. I think some of the negative body language and frustrations that we've seen from Kevin are a result of these things. However, to get a max contract and a chance to win a title each of the next few seasons, he'd have to be a fool to desire anything else.

Perhaps Love may be pouting but I don't take him to be all that excitable of a guy. He seems pretty laid back/non-emotional.

I think the Cavs are going to get Miami in Round 1. Cavs will take it in 4.

Also, if Love leaves he is the dumbest player in NBA history. It's not going to happen.

Pathetic. Can't fault Love for being honest. Westbrook deserved his vote over LBJ.

No roster spot.

Also regarding KL's attitude, its well known that he's a pretty introverted guy, so it doesn't surprise me that he's not usually seen acting like LBJ and KI do. He's the type of guy that's coming in, punching his time card, doing his job, punching out, and going home.

Cut Perkins, Jones, Harris, Delly, or Miller. EZ

Sure, if we were playing 2K.

Realistically you can't just cut veteran players mid way through the season, especially after March 1st, and ever expect to sign another veteran at a vet. min deal.

Harris, I'd probably be ok with.

I'm just saying he can actually play, and provide us with something +size. Which is something really need. We have a lot of trash on our bench.

Why would you get rid of James Jones? He's like automatic for 3's. The others I could do without especially Miller. Delly at least tries.

I would hardly call 38% Automatic, good but not great. And that's all he can do. Outside of being LBJ's he doesn't provide much. If he never played another min for the Cavs, doubt anyone except his mother would even notice.

Gross. Javale McGee is a garbage NBA player. I'd rather have Delly at least he's all there in the head.

There's a reason no one has taken a flier on him

Provides size, and is athletic. Could be the Cavs birdman type signing. I'd rather try at little to no risk then see Harris ever get a minute of playoff basketball.

Neither McGee nor Harris should see a minute of playoff basketball for the Cavs. McGee's "headcase-ness" is more of a turn-off for our current team than Harris' lack of proven NBA ability.

Oh I agree. Would prefer him over Perkins, just no real way of it happening.

Still 3rd best on the team behind Kyrie and JR. Maybe not automatic but he's clutch when needed.

Well, I was happy the Cavs were going to get a couple a few days off before their next game as opposed to playing another back to back against a good team. They are 10-0 when they have 2 days of rest. I let my guard down though, and underestimated the media's ability to generate a complete pile of shit storyline during the off time. Pretty fucking pathetic.
