I actually would've liked him on our team. Solid locker room guy that can be used situationally, definitely not a rotation guy, to spread the floor as a stretch big. I think he could've been successful under Stevens.
Can someone explain to me just what the Cavs are doing? Apparently they are going to try to make the playoffs this year?
Not even just with this move, but more so the lack of movement on their roster.
I think the rebuild started last year. They essentially got Clarkson, Hood, Nance, and Sexton as their new core. They are waiting out the market to resign Hood to a good deal. They will likely get a good extension on Nance.
Signing Frye opens the court for their young guys. In a pick-and-roll with Sexton, Sexton can get more comfortable attacking as a scorer.
They also may be waiting on the right offer for Love, but in the meantime, I think a player like Love actually might help the development of their other guys.
