Too many chemistry issues in my opinion for Cleveland. Everyone will want to play in isolation. They would be better served to hold on to what they have. If they need to make a trade they should think of an impact defensive player.
Uhm Joe Johnson is not a good player. Just like Rondo was not a good player. If that's why ppl are freakin out.
That he has 7 or however many all star appearances is one of the bigger jokes in modern day NBA.
Never been a JJ fan but West would be big.
Funny thing, they would be losing a defensive impact player to acquire an ISO ballhog player.
Johnson isn't as good as he used to be and he wasn't that great to begin with. Remember the Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Brook Lopez super team? The Cavs are already pretty good when they have their full lineup, they might improve with Johnson, but not by too much.
Don't know why West would want to go to the Cavs and play behind Mozgov, Love, and Thompson.
The addition of Joe Johnson gives them a viable guy to score when Lebron sits, that's the only thing that the move does and does well.
That's a sign of a player that is hungry to win. Come to the spurs David West
Love mozgov thompson and lebron at smallball pf. West knows better tbh
I've never thought JJ was ever that good, especially with that saary. Cavs would pay like $100million+ in luxury tax
They were 2 wins away from winning the le without 2 allstars playing, as well as Verejao. I don't understand why they would try to add him with that massive salary and how much the owner would have to spend. LeBron is basically holding the owner hostage forcing him to spend ridiculous money because he can't stomach losing to the west again, possibly after the LMA move. "I can walk at any time, spend as much as I tell you to" And he's also trying to hoard West because he doesn't want him ending up as a Spur.
Why are people freaking out over Iso Joe? He's a horrible fit next to LeBron. If he takes touches away from Bron and co.it's a good thing tbh.
Why? Easy. 20ppg playoff scorer waiting on the bench. They don't have to promise him anything.
Insurance
LDN or Kawhi can handle him. They've neutralized better players than ISO Joe. He hasn't been a 20 ppg scorer in a while either IIRC.
I remember Joe Johnson and Paul Pierce were the only good players on that team.
i'd rather they get johnson than west.
It really doesn't matter to me who the Cavs get. Better the Cavs than say, Golden State, Houston, Clips or Mavs.
You can pencil in the Cavs in the 2016 Eastern Conference finals already, and most likely the east rep in the Finals, regardless of any further deals.
JJ is good, but not a big deal IMO.
If Joe Johnson were paid $8 million per year, he'd have a much different reputation. $25 million is a lot, but it seems Gilbert doesn't care about the luxury tax. They just have to find a way to make the numbers work, which is easier said than done considering if I'm the Nets I want nothing to do with Varajao.
JJ is a good player. Just is just massively overpaid
As for West in CLE, I simply don't get it. They're just paying almost 200m for 2 PFs. They also have Andy who can play both 4/5 positions.
Why the would he choose CLE over SA if money is not an issue seriously ? Makes no sense.
While I do agree we need a backup C I don't really think Spurs are ed if they can't find one. None of the teams at the top have a C worth a anyway really. Bogut is a great defensive C but is not an offensive threat. There aren't many teams in the league that have an imposing front line with a talented C anyway, at least none that will really cause us issues in the playoffs. I think we will be seeing the Spurs go small a lot next season and I don't really care what the rumors said about Aldridge not wanting to play C in New York. He is going to play some C here, it's obvious, and he has to know it. But playing C next to a chucker like Anthony on a garbage team full time and playing C on a Spurs team periodically for 10-15 mins a night with either Bobo or the best rebounding SF next to you isn't as big of a deal imo, especially in today's NBA
Joe can be good, but 36% fg and 29% treys in six playoff games last year.
Calm down.
His career playoff numbers, while better, not that much.
42% and 35%
Get the outta here no D and not enough balls to go around.
7 time allstar still averaging 18ppg in the playoffs
game set match
Who's gonna guard kylia and lebron?
I've never seen a bigger bunch of pussies in my life. Have some balls people and while you're at it, try having some faith in your team. SMH at all the oooohs and aaaaahs of players past their prime and worth. David West would be great on the Spurs, coming off the bench. In Cleveland, I'm not so sure. He'd have to put up with Drama Queen Love, Ball Hog Irving and pouty, coach-killer LeBron.
The Spurs will be fine and have already won the FA sweepstakes.
Spurs are never losing to CLE in the finals. They wouldn't have this year either.
The threats are in the west and it looks like it will be Warriors and OKC.
Let's get the number 1 seed and only play one of them. That improves le significantly odds right there.
