Wizards promotions dressed folks up in CLE gear and asked them on jumbotron if Kyrie or Wall should start in ASG. All said Wall
lol thats a great troll job by the wizards.

Lebron James just non-stop points. What a player.

Anyone else think it's odd that TT only had 3 reb and Love had 8 pts?

Not really. Seemed to be a more fast pace, up and down game, which left those 2 out of their element. Love had plenty of looks earlier in the game but couldn't convert them. Plus JR was on fire, and LBJ/Kyrie took over the 3rd/4th.Commander of Awesome;1773721 wrote:Yep hope that humble pie was good.

My favorite part was that wall ran his mouth, then in the 4th quarter, wanted nothing to do with guarding kyrie. 3 times I watched him go to someone else and point at Neal to get kyrie. Coward.

Love missed a ton of looks into 5 feet. He also got beat for layups about 10 times because he didn't even barely jog back on defense after his misses. It's the only thing that annoys me to no end with love.

Both are vastly overpaid to their true value. It's fine for now but if the Cavs don't win this year or next year, then the Cavs have screwed up any financial flexibility to win with Lebron still being NBA relevant.Commander of Awesome;1773721 wrote:Yep hope that humble pie was good.

I'm still optimistic that the Cavs get it done this year provided they stay healthy. Man for man, they have the best roster in the league and I wouldn't pick any team over them in a 7 game series.

I worry about not having home court in the finals. Playoffs are obviously a different animal, but spurs and warriors are a combined 38-0 at home.

Spurs and Warriors are the only two teams in the league that can give the Cavs a challenge in a 7 game series. You can go ahead and concede that the Western Conf Champion will have home court in the NBA finals.Mulva;1773793 wrote:I worry about not having home court in the finals.

The better team usually wins and there is zero doubt in my mind that the Cavs are the better team.

I'd talk to the 6ers, Lakers, Nets. I would easily trade Moz for an unprotected 1st from either franchise, lolololololololollike_that;1773918 wrote:I would tell them all to fuck off.

In reality, the Cavs might seriously be looking to move him. I'd rather keep him because he's a solid player but the contract he is going to demand at the end of the season is going vastly higer than his true value, and that doesn't even include the luxury tax penalties that salary will bring.Commander of Awesome;1773921 wrote:I'd talk to the 6ers, Lakers, Nets.

I read that if he excepts below market value (say ~$10 m) the Cavs would pay $26m a yr for his services. Prob not going to happen.sleeper;1773922 wrote:In reality, the Cavs might seriously be looking to move him.

He will get a deal between $12-13M a year which is absurd for his true value. The Cavs won't keep him at that price unless Lebron James says so. My guess is Mozgov is not one of Lebron's buddies and he will be gone anyway so it may be worth trying to get some asset for him.Commander of Awesome;1773923 wrote:I read that if he excepts below market value (say ~$10 m) the Cavs would pay $26m a yr for his services.

If the cavs were like the Browns/tribe, where they are not contending and are in a situation of a player most likely to leave at the end of the year I would do it. That's not the case here as the cavs are in contention. Unless we somehow get a big to replace moz I wouldn't do it.

I mean I agree here. We are in a time period in Cleveland where we have a championship quality team and its worth some long term risk if that's what it takes to win now. I don't want to complete the trade but I could see the group upstairs in Cleveland thinking about it. My guess is, they are going to want big value beyond rationality to move him so I'd bet good money he's in Cleveland until the end of the year at least.like_that;1773928 wrote:If the cavs were like the Browns/tribe, where they are not contending and are in a situation of a player most likely to leave at the end of the year I would do it.

Mozgov and the 10M TPE are the only real assets the Cavs have and would be willing to give up.
Tyson Chandler would have been ideal with the TPE but not after looking up his salary, he makes 13M.

Unless we get a big with the same value as Moz (whether it be with trading moz or using the TPE), I am not parting ways with Moz. Part of me still believes Moz will gain his confidence back by the 2nd half of the season.

I think they should give him a few weeks off. If it's him being unhealthy then rest him. Give Andy minutes. Moz can get healthy and work on things.

Part of the reason I want to keep him is I wouldn't want to take the chance he has the same impact on another contending team that he had on ours.like_that;1774037 wrote:Unless we get a big with the same value as Moz (whether it be with trading moz or using the TPE), I am not parting ways with Moz.
