Cleveland Cavalier 2018-2019 Season

This has been posted on various outlets but this was the one where I saw what the Cavs would give up in the trade....

https://heavy.com/sports/2018/11/markelle-fultz-kyle-korver-jr-smith-cavaliers-sixers-trade/

I don't think Fultz is going to turn into an NBA player.  He looks just like Anthony Bennet, but smaller and perhaps even worse.  With that being said, this trade may be worth it considering having Korver on the roster does nothing for a tanking team and JR isn't even playing.  Might as well kick the tires.

If all it takes is JR and korver, you absolutely do that trade. Let him figure out that shoulder and try to find his shot, which will allow the Cavs to continue to suck and keep their first rounders the next two years. Then maybe around then, Fultz finds something. 

I think Fultz *could* still be a serviceable player, but will never live up to the #1 pick. Comparing him to Bennett is ridiculous though, he's already done more than AB ever did. I agree though on the trade, kick the tires. Got nothing to lose and a trade has to go the Cavs way some time.

I’d make the move but his shoulder thing is so weird. I’m not real convinced he’ll ever get over it. The Mackey Sasser of basketball

Just box score checking and I didn’t watch any. I see that Sexton was 5/19 and struggled but he and most of the starters were like +8 in +/- when on the court....bench was like -15 and of course Cavs lost by 8. Korver hit everything but also a -7.

I know +/- doesn’t tell a good story of the game but this one is all over the place. Coach always have in the wrong players in different rotations throughout the game.

Lol...Harrison played 9 min and Cavs were -15

Sexton a game to forget, 5/19 shooting. Yuck

Looks as if Osman was worse (but we expect that too)

Lol. 

I think Sexton was a good pick. Coa said Sexton sucks and was a bad pick. Coa’s Hot take was always way worse than mine.

Osman has not been good this year, outside of a hot start. 

Sexton has been getting a lot of chatter about being one of the top rookies over the last couple of weeks. I'm sure he will have his ups & downs. He's definitely settled in a bit since being put in the starting lineup. Definitely had some early serious concerns about him. Don't think he'll be a star in the league but he should be more than solid.

Definitely, which isn't unusual for a rookie. I still think he lacks the physical traits to be a consistent dominant player in the NBA but we'll see. Last time I'll mention it as I don't want to be repetitve or hurt S&L's feelz.

If I had hurt feelz, I wouldn’t have commented on his bad game last night lol. 

Its all good. You think Sexton stinks. I think he’ll be a good player. We’re both rooting for him. 

Korver has been traded to the jazz. Two second rounders and Alec burks

I like Alec Burks, he was a decent player before the injuries. Might as well kick the tires and see if a change of scenery is a good thing for him. Low risk

Sexton 10 boards tonight

Holy crap they let Russ go off. 

23 pt, 19 rb and 15 ast

Like I’ve always said, Draymond is the worst, but Klay is a close second. He hides it, but not well enough. He’s a fucking douche.
