Steve9347 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 06:21 PM) The thing about the amnesty that f***s you is that it happens after everyone has spent their money. He would have gotten himself paid if he became available July 1 He still gets the 17 million from Chicago. Carlos Boozer make almost as much as LeBron James this year. He's doing ok.

I'd prefer Sessions but I believe I read that he's getting offers of 2M+ so he's probably unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not worried about a PG in this offense. We've seen Mike James drop 28 leading the o. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasox24 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 10:55 PM) Jordan McCrae might be a steal. McRae might not be able to do anything but score, but he sure does it well. I hope (and think) he makes someone's roster. Good character guy who can provide points in a hurry. Always room for that at the end of the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long "wide open east", you were a fun 1 week. You guys can laugh all you want, not buying Love + Cavs = invincible in their first year together.

Sorry, not buying it. Part of the reason why 2000s LeBron/Cavs were so good (at least in the regular season) was that they were a really good defensive team with the best 2 way player in LeBron. What made the Heat great the first three years was the fact they had three legit offensive stars along with being among the best defensive teams when they wanted to be. This Cavs team has alot of offensive power with LeBron/Love/Kyrie but on paper, that's an awful defense. They can certainly score but other teams will score on them too.

What I like about that team is, we have defensive people at the right positions for that potential match-up and should be able to take advantage of the weak defense at some of those positions.

The problem is I can find much worse negative things to say about almost every other team in the East. The Cavs might be weak on defense but they at least would have some serious strengths to counter it. When you start comparing them to the West, they're definitely not invincible, but no one in the East has sold me on being a well rounded team without major holes.

That's why I don't buy the Cavs as being head and shoulders above the rest. They will be good, but I think we can match up with them. I don't feel as hopeless against this Cavs team as I did when LeBron was in Miami. The Bulls will still be a very good defensive team, Thibs will make sure of that, but we added guys who can score. Again, Rose will need to healthy and at least be 80% of MVP Rose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
