Since the Fakers did worse than us our offer of Sully, #6, and a future first is probably the best offer Minny is getting for Love

What are the odds, statheads?

the odds were 34%

Can't believe Cleveland is going to be trotting out three top picks next year, and they'll still be terrible.

  I can.

So.......I d fire the nut ...that won those last games we should have tanked  >:(

What are you on about?

The Cavs won. If anything, we had to win more games.
In the summer of 2017, I predicted this team would not win a championship for the next 10 years.

3 down, 7 to go.

Get another horrible nobody coach and Tank the season again.....trade everybody.....but Sully and KO

We could draft Randle and start three power forwards and find our center next year.

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
Everyone got bumped up one place. The pick still has value, the important part is that the Lakers don't have a better pick than us for the Love sweepstakes.

Cleveland are in a great spot now. New GM, motivated staff and can make up for Bennett pick.
Did anyone see Bill Simmons rip the cavs apart. He was almost crying tears of green lol.
At this point I'm thinking Smart or Vonleh. Trade down is possible too....

Let's just hope the Wolves decide to move Love.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

I don't support the lottery wheel, etc., but maybe you are not allowed to get a top 3 pick two years in a row. This is silly. I mean, I still think the league needs to get over the tanking thing and just draft based on record, period. Unless you make the process totally random (which punishes the teams that are actually awful), there's no way to avoid tanking.

Cleveland winning the lottery again is complete crap. that city is a joke and as a basketball franchise are a joke. stop rewarding a bum crap city and a bum crap franchise. draft embiid and have his back explode on him. not wishing ill on embiid just the cavs, so what im saying is i hope his back is in terrible condition and he wont say anything and cleveland drafts him thus making me happy. trade the pick for lower ticket prices because this is looking like a long rebuild

I hate Cleveland.  I'm glad LeBron left them, screw that team.

They're like that really poor kid you grew up with from the trashy family, dad walked out on him, mom's an alcoholic, but darn it if he doesn't always seem to have all the best stuff!

Turns out his mom has a bit of a gambling problem too.  While she constantly seems to be winning $1000 and $10,000 scratch offs, and wins big at bingo and the casino too, she quickly blows it all again and they're living in poverty.  She buys a brand new car, buys her kid the latest and greatest toys with all the accessories, brand new clothes, etc., as she blows the money as quickly as she gets it.

Now your family is 100x's better off than his, just responsible.  But man do you just hate his guts as his mom drives him to school in her brand new, pimped out BMW, while he's wearing his brand new Jordans and playing on his brand new Game Boy, bragging how he just got the brand new Super Nintendo and all the games at home too, and he's so smug about it!  Sure, his mom will have pawned it all in a couple of weeks to pay the rent and they'll be back to riding the bus, but man you hate the kid's guts. 

Lol, that's how I feel about Cleveland.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

I honestly think DA should call the NBA and tell them to take that pick and shove it up their @ss! I don't even want the pick, I'm so p---ed I love the Celtics but hate the NBA!!!!!!!!

This is a disgrace the CAVS should be thrown out of the league, hope their pick is a total bust.

Think we can trade all our picks for the next 5 years and get Love? Cause our chances just dropped dramatically. >:( >:( >:(

Since the Fakers did worse than us our offer of Sully, #6, and a future first is probably the best offer Minny is getting for Love
Nobody thinks any of the picks 3, 4 or 5 would try and package something for Love? The Jazz maybe?

They already have when they got James and they still screwed it up.

Not if he won't resign. But NESN had some report right before the lottery saying that Love would resign here or something close. Its a sign, bring on the Love!
