Do you think Lue is smart enough or has the Balls to have IT come off the bench? Lebron would passive aggressively bitch about it too.

I’m not sure Cavs would be better overall with IT coming off the bench unless he’s getting 30+ minutes

He likely would get 30 off the bench. He would also be getting 15 shots. If he starts, 3rd or 4th option. Single digit shots. At least, it appears that way.

Doubtful. Cavs are playing well right now, so if it keeps up when IT comes back, maybe they can use that as the reason.

I’m all for it. I’d give Lue some credit for once.

I’m not buying him off the bench and I’d bet on him being #2 option sooner than later.

I’ve been wrong before

D-Rose looks to be done. Feel bad for him.

This. Dude has made 9 figures so I wouldnt feel bad regardless, but retire in the offseason if you were going to. Doing this to your teammates during the season is a bitch move.

How exactly is it a bitch move when he can't even play? He can't stay healthy, has to be incredibly frustrating.

I can't empathize nor sympathize with what he is going through. He wants to play. He doesn't choose to be injured. Is there evidence of him being a "mentally weak baby," or is that hot taek material?

Because he’s taking time away from the team to evaluate his own career. He’s a bitch.

If I was the Cavs front office I'd be all for it. Let him figure it out so they can free up the roster space.

I don’t blame him for wanting to be able to play on a potential championship team alongside the best player in the world.

Cavs better not trade TT and the Nets pick for Deandre Jordan

I didn't realize Jordan only averaged 10-12 ppg. And how many of those are dunks. Is there much of a difference between what he and TT brings to the table? Big guys who rebound but can't score outside of six feet from the basket.

From the rumors I am seeing the pick wouldn’t be involved.

If they can make that deal without giving up the pick and anything else of real value, you do it.
