and this is because of ben simmons. He has to be tied to joels hip man... he is literally glued to joel in the post season being carried by joel while we hang tobias out to try with a bench unit and a center that cant score... Put ben there instead of tobias harris and imagine how ****ing awful it would be... harris literally played damn near the entire final game and played the majority with the bench unit all because again ben needs joel or ben is useless because dwight/thyb/hill/maxey etcQuote:

Doc went too deep in the bench probably. In the regular season ya love to see it, if it works in the post season then nothing lost but rarely does it.Quote:

They have a couple guys who are in a position where if this guy is on the floor, it's hard to keep someone else on the floor for long runs.Quote:

Kyrie is also partially a best case scenario for himself too. His ability to finish is quite insane.Quote:

Like I said, he's a relatively inefficient chucker that allegedly teammates don't want to play with because he isn't a good or even all that willing oasser, despite his assist numbers. Again, if he was this really high upside guy, why are you dealing him?
Because the Cavs are drowning in undersized guards and about to draft another at #3 lolQuote:

I think Houston takes Green so it’ll be interesting to see if the Cavs go after someone like Kuminga
If I were them I take Suggs or Green (if Houston take Mobley) then trade Sexton, be he needs to be paid.Quote:

Cavs have larger contracts in Prince and Nance that aren't horrible, Nance probably still has pretty high value. Cedi and Love aren't good value but depending on the deal and how many teams the Cavs could turn the thing around.
Or they keep everyone and start Garland, Sexton, Okoro, and Suggs/Green with Allen and just continue to be trash lol
I saw a Secton, Prince, Nance, 2022 pick for Simmons suggestion. Opens up the Cavs to S&T Allen then.
Of course constantly brought up is the Klutch/Rich Paul angle of they won’t want Simmons traded there.

If there’s no trade clause it shouldn’t matter where Klutch wants their client. But I get that there are politics involved. These agents have to much power.Quote:

The biggest Klutch issue is not that they have max players but rather they have so many role players and one wrong move means you could be ****ed in getting them.Quote:

As NBA said, we've (Cavs fans) been debating amongst ourselves for awhile how to handle SexLand and if we should move on from one or the other. Garland starting showing promise later and his ceiling seems to be a bit higher in terms of running the offense. We may be getting yet another guard in the draft, and don't forget we drafted 6"5 Isaac Okoro last year who is more of a SG/SF tweener.Quote:

He has upside in terms of potentially being a good #2 or #3 option but he'll likely never be a #1 option and we can't be paying a #2/3 dude as our #1 guy. But a better team could find some value in that if he's the missing piece for them.
I see Memphis as a good trade partner. Sexton would be a good piece beside Morant, and the Grizzlies have some assets they can move + cap space. They don’t have any bad contracts, JV is their highest paid player @ $14 mill. And they have Justice Winslow coming off the books unless they take up on his $13 mill team option. Point is they could afford to pay Sexton as well.Quote:

This will end for MTM once Ben is traded :eyebrow:Quote:
