Exclusive The OFFICIAL 2015 NBA Offseason thread!

So what... if we get those 2 were contending, not rebuilding and giving minutes to an unproven prospect.

 

Pierce to clippers for 3 yrs

 

he's a borderline all star and a better #3 then Batum or Wes ever were. Plus playing next to Lamarcus will help him. He'd get 18 and 10

 

We could contend without Monroe. Plumlee fits better next to LA and Leonard fits next to both. We'd be fine.

 

I'm sorry but Vonleh is a lottery pick with extreme talent, to not get him any minutes would be foolish. He has a higher ceiling than any of our bigs.

 

you for got we had Kaman

 

I know he's there. I know he would take the mentor/2nd-3rd big off bench though.

 

he'd probably get more rebounds..he averaged 10 rebounds with Andre Drummond.

Let Monroe rebound all of LMA's mid range shots for put backs?

He averaged 16/10 with a 22 PER last year.

Aldridge spaces the floor a lot better than Drummond does. More rebounding space..more room in the post.

He would be a "borderline" all star, I agree.

CJ miles wouldn't even be listed on the ballot in the west.

 

extreme talent? Hahaha alright. Ceiling means down the road and right now he's not better then Meyers, Plumlee or Kaman so if we're "contending", which we wouldn't without Monroe, we would play the best players

 

Fit is great, but it doesn't make us a contender. You know what makes us a contender?

Another all-star (or borderline, as Bones suggested) caliber player going to work in the post next to the best PF in the game. Pick your poison, double one or the other and most importantly..

We were fourth WORST IN THE LEAGUE IN PAINT POINTS.

Monroe scored a majority of his points within 5 feet of the basket or someting like that.

Cmon man Greg Monroe is a game changer and there is a reason numerous teams are offering him a max contract, while no one is talking about those other dudes or even acquiring them in any way.

We don't need to be 15 people deep, we need to be 8 or 9 deep with GOOD players. See what happened to the hawks without any elite players in the playoffs? But they were so deep - they got trashed by an actual contender.

 

We are not the Hawks... We have elite players in Dame and LA in this scenario... We need depth and versatility... Look at the Warriors... Look at the depth they had.

 

So you don't think this is a deep team?

Lillard / (Still advocating Cory Joseph) / McCollum / Frazier
Henderson / McCollum
Aminu / Henderson
LMA / Leonard / Vonleh
Monroe / Plumlee / Leonard

But removing Monroe for CJ Miles is and signing another PG, given we can't sign one with one of the exceptions? Unless you want some elite backup PG, who, once again, will get about 15 minutes per game - at max. Seems like a huge waste of cap, once again.

Mm, I'm just not following your logic, considering Miles would be lucky to get 15 minutes a game behind Henderson and McCollum. Seems like a waste to me to triple down on a position.

I'd say we would have GSW versatility with the original lineup because our bigs can play anywhere - literally ever single big guy we have except Kaman (and Monroe to a lesser extent) would be able to play PF or C. There is plenty of versaility without adding CJ Miles (who'd play not much, to be perfectly honest unless we got rid of Hendo) and a backup PG (that in this scenario, you apparently want to go after someone with more than an exception, who would be playing behind Dame and CJ (who has the ball a lot in the bench unit).

So great waste 15 mill of cap on 2 players that will combine for maybe 20 minutes a game instead of a center who will play 35+.

 

Shump 4/40

 

Cavs payroll is HUGE

 

And they still won't be winning a championship, lol.

 

I don't know if I read this in here or on Twitter. Something like LBJ is trying to bankrupt Cavs for talking trash

 

I hope not, love it when teams try to "buy" a championship and fail!

 

LOL, no shit

 

Aren't they at 208 guaranteed mil right now without LBJ

 

Just wait until he gets the max salary eliminated.

He's gonna make Gilbert feel it for that letter in a couple years.
