Can the Cavs TRADE IT and Crowder at mid season ?
maybe trade Smith , Crowder , IT , TT , Shump .....some combo of these players and their 2018 own pick .
They are not going to pay IT anywhere near whatbhe is dreaming of .....he is net zero gain on the court ...what he scores on offense , he can't jump or sprint like he used to.....so he gets destroyed by taller jump shooters ......IMO .....he is no help ....Warrior shot right over him like he was not even there. IT can't help Cavs beat Warriors ....plain and simple he is a liability on defense. Warriors have long tall jump shooters that can get their shot over IT any moment they need to. KD , Livingston, Swaggy , Iggy , not to mention Curry and Thompson .....IT. can't stop anybody they got.
I'd trade IT .....he will be the same problem f ....what to do issue with him as he was with Celtics come contract time. If Lebron leaves , you don't waste max money on IT or build arou d him.....they should trade him now for a somebody that can alter shots on defense.
