oh well, at least we tried
Smh
I think West comes here tbh. He personally said he wanted gsw or spurs and Pop is courting him hard. Dont lose hope
"possibly" is not "definitely"
Joe Johnson would be the bigger get. He's a 3rd option player not a #1 or #2. Kyrie, Johnson and James is a pretty solid lineup again their bench is gonna suck though
Wouldn't Cav's have to do some major unloading for Johnson? Haywood- $10M; Johnson- $25M Would have to trade Varejao and not sure that would fly. Plus he is $10M. If they could pull off would open a slot for West, which would stink. Spurs really need to push hard to get David West. Perfect player the Spurs need...obviously other holes to fill, which I'm sure the Spurs will do fine. My concerns is size- losing Baynes. Aldridge essentially replace Splitter in just overall size. Baynes really developed but think the Spurs should be able to get someone comparable with the attraction now of playing with Spurs/+Aldridge.
Love too. Or are you assuming he's traded?
Johnson + West equals championship got for Cleveland, I think.
Remember West is not from Ohio. Just played college ball there. Orig from NJ and played high school ball in NC. I'm sure from Xavier days he has ties no doubt but unless Cavs trade some of their bigs, how would he really fit in? Pop needs to go hard sell on West and grab him before other opportunities open up. Maybe that's what that "to go" bottle of wine was for that Pop was carrying?
No, but I think Love would get lost in that ball hogging fest. Love just wanted to get paid
timvp said West grew up a Spurs fan so at least there's that.
...all that excitement then quitting before the season starts.
Never change, ST.
I see. Yeah, he took the money, might get a ring, but his usage rates will be reduced with this crew.

West plays his game, too, an altogether different game than what the likes of George play. It's all fundamental stuff, really, power moves, mostly. Nothing fancier than a step-back jumper. It's a game that fits his upbringing and his personality. This is a guy, after all, who grew up in the shadows of New York City in the early-to-mid-nineties when the Knicks were threatening to win les, but felt a stronger connection to the San Antonio Spurs of David Robinson and Sean ******. His favorite college player at the time was Tim Duncan, and when Duncan joined the Spurs in 1997, following West's junior year in high school, West hung the “Twin Towers” poster of Robinson and Duncan on his bedroom wall.

Cavs will be paying more luxury tax than even Prokorov did. Dan Gilbert's a dumbass. A very rich dumbass, but a dumbass nonetheless.

game set match
Yeah I'm not gonna lie, even if we fill out our roster nicely, Cleveland with those two would just be insane. I mean I won't say they'll be unbeatable (plus you never know what will happen with injuries), but they'll absolutely be favorites. People here will act like they're no threat at all, but a Kyrie/Johnson/LeBron/Love/Mozgov lineup is just ridiculous. Then throw in guys like Shumpert/JR/West/Thompson off the bench...pretty crazy.
Fortunately, it's not a given they'd go through with this trade even if Brooklyn accepts. LeBron has close ties with Varejao...I'm not so sure he'd be okay with them trading him away, even if it makes sense given his injury history + getting Joe Johnson in return. And we all know LeBron has Gilbert by the balls
How in the can this kinda happen!?! The sadnesses of one team to try an buy a championship. No way West goes there. He'd get waaaaay more PT here.
He's giving LeBron everything he wants. Not so bad in the short run, but long term this team will be strapped...
Yes, bu if he wins a le for Cavs, it will be worth it for him. He can sell the team for a billion dollars. Luxury tax is peanuts.
Lebron
reaching Kobe levels goddam
Johnson in the Cavs and season is a wrap. goddam
it was fun while it lasted
What would that payroll look like for Gilbert.. Everyone on that starting lineup sans Mozgov making close to 20 mil a season.
