Harden tbh
Would be hilarious if LeBron ends up buying the Cavs and ruins them like MJ did to the cats
Harden tbh
Flipping Waiters plus 2 late rd picks for Shump and Mozgov are worth it IMO. It addresses some of their biggest issues.
Lebron built this team for the kids.
Shumpert is one of the worst defensive players in the NBA, tbh, but it's worth the risk, as is Mozgov, for what LeCoon and the delusional Cavs are attempting to accomplish..
LeCoon in Miami worked because Pat Riley remained in charge and didn't give him any additional power, as most people have reported..LeCoon in Cleveland has all the power, he has Carte Blanche, he's the GM and he brings in whoever he wants, his crew gets as many tickets/jobs they want, etc..that's part of the reason this is going to fail, of course..
As we have seen time and time again, winning the genetic lottery, which allows you to become an elite basketball player, doesn't make you capable of properly analyzing and judging the ability/impact of other players..
I'm sure Blatt picked Mozgov, not LeBron... he coached the Russian Olympic team, so he knows him.
that filthy zionist pig
Pretty sure they're behind the Paris attack today, tbh
that would be diabolical
Sigh, it's always the jews...
No, zionists.
Are you being politically correct here or just obtuse?...
I've got zero problem with Jews. I've got a big problem with Zionists.
True - no issue with having to dump a pick to land Lebron. That's smart business. Dumping 3 other 1sts plus Wiggins/Bennett/Waiters for Love/Mozgov/JR/Shump is crazy to me. I was even fine with the pick for Love. It was worth the risk to get talent to come to CLE.
But two firsts, after giving up 2 previously (even if those were ok) is crazy for Mozgov. Their inability to attract FA's to CLE even when Bron was younger was an issue and they need young, cheap talent to fill in gaps/holes and build a sustainble contender. This isn't some old core. They are young enough and should have 3-6 years together. They panicked IMO.
Spurs really ed up the league, winning with nothing but low end signings, d-league guys and draft picks that didn't bolt at the first opportunity. Tim, Tony and Manu, Kawhi, all drafted by SA. Patty, Danny, Boris, all players getting waived or released by other teams. Ayers, got.
GM"s earn respect by having the vision and courage to build a team and win, even when players whine. Caving to Lebron worked out awful last time (no les, Lebron leaving, huge mess) and they are doing the same thing again. No patience at all and just because they have a stupid owner willing to spend and mortgage assets to appease Lebron doesn't make it smart. If they win it will all be moot, but this seems like the least likely way to build a champion model.
Jews, 9/11, etc
This may be the scoring efficiency boost the Cavs need tbh.

The Cavs have their new scapegoat. If they fail, it's because mozgov sucked in the playoffs. Poor LeBron![]()
We're screwed tbh. They got the Russian Wilt
What a weird name. Does he have a lisp? Are his parents black?
Trade looks golden so far for the Cavs. Mozgov is perfect for them.
