I agree with this and, have thought it all along but the "Bad Boys" days of the Pistons are gone. I think the GSW's are a finesse team and if you knock them on their ass (especially Steph) a few times when they take the ball to the hole, it would make them settle for jumpers. You'd just have to hope they'd go cold.

Yeah, there's that. Was listening to 92.3 on my lunch hour and they seem to think a new deal will be announced right after the season. Sounds like there are no real enticing opportunities out there.

That Laker team was a joke.

I also think he'll get a nice "pay raise" with the new deal.

He deserves it. He needs to be the highest paid GM in the league and then add some incentives in the deal if we win more championships.

Agreed, he essentially got Moz, Shump, JR, Korver, Frye, Dwill (x2) for a "bag of beans".

If they decide to go that route. Jimmy butler or Paul George would be the only players I'd want. It essentially moves lebron to the 4 spot which is the best position for him st this point in his career. And gives the cavs a shooter/ defensive guy to match up with Durant. That would be the best opportunity to make the cavs better

All pipe dreams. The Cavs aren't getting Butler or PG.

Eh George no, butler could be a possibility. They would obviously have to trade love

Hell with it, kick the tires on a possible Kyrie for Russ trade. I say 1% chance it would happen, but 0 if they don't look into it.

We are not going to win this series, but I at least hope we can kick the living fuck out of the Warriors tonight

I saw this the other day. So you just lost a close, great series against a very evenly matched team. If Green isn't suspended, then maybe it plays out differently. The response was "We need to add one of the top five players to help us next time!" SMH. I struggle to give them or Durant much credit or understanding. They pussed out.

I don't think it'll happen, but imagine if the Cavs win tonight, then somehow manage to win game five Monday back at Golden State. Imagine the shitshow the media will be having.
