It's a reasonable goal. Not every franchise has to have a rings-or-bust mentality. But was it the best trade that could be made with that goal in mind?

Probably not going to be good news follow-up on Butler.

Lebron ??

Cavs still being -600 to win the division is absolutely baffling to me.

Like I have a ton of bets on Boston (3.2-1), Philly (40-1), Milwaukee (33-1), Wiz (20-1) and now a bit on Detroit at 125-1 to win the East mostly by doing a ton of line shopping to try to get close to 0 juice and short the Cavs.

And it looks insanely good on paper, but there's the whole "Playoff Lebron" thing that always causes their playoff odds to be better in reality than they look on paper. But winning the division is a regular season thing, and -600 seems absolutely insane.

They're only 2 games up on Indiana and Milwaukee, with Indiana having a better raw point differential even before the Love injury, much less how CLE rates without Love. And Milwaukee is getting Jabari back on Friday.

I mean, Cleveland might just shelve Lebron at some point and rest him for the playoffs, it's not like there is much difference between the 3 seed through 6 seed, and REALLY not that big a deal between 6 and 7 or 8 either.


It's not even clear to me the Cavs should be that much better than even money to win the division, much less MINUS SIX HUNDRED. seems cray

Curry.

Harden's being overrated. It's at the least close between him and a handful of players

It’s a big deal that anyone near him has won it before.

barring a season-ending injury, he's a lock

it's his turn this year

Being the Hawks is at odds with filling the arena.

Steph is being slept on in MVP.

Hardens stats will go down with CP3. Lebrons team sucks. Stephs gonna have amazing stats on the best team in the league. And the narrative seems fully in his court that he matters more than Durant.

Okay, well yeah the voters will probably select Harden. Didn't think that was being discussed

Is it possible that a lineup of IT-smith-bron-crowder-TT is better than a lineup with K.Love? feel like defensively this is their best mix of offensive/defense(if crowder can look somewhat like his celtics self).

The perception of TATUM has benefited a lot from a 4th man role all season

IT playing the way you figured a 5'9" guy would fair in the NBA.

Detroit has a brand new $863M taxpayer funded area that's half-empty every game. Trying to make a splash makes sense imo

miami 3/26 from 3 and juuuust gave up the lead to cloleveland

That's the thing. He's only 5'7".

And this guy thought he was the best player in the world. ROFLMAO 🤣

Wow beas a pos but I can't be mad at him.

Cavs D confirmed elite without Love. Especially their free throw D.

LOL Knicksaments

olynyk reminds me of brad pitt in true romance

OFF IT LOOOOOOOOL
