    Watch what Rodney Hood does for the Cavs now that he’s in his correct role. Lower usage rate and higher efficiency. I like the moves the Cavs made, no drastic game changers but a lot of solid pieces.

    Hill could be a drastic game changer against guys like Curry and Irving in the playoffs defensively.

    If Blake’s going to the ECF in three years, it’s going to be either as a color commentator or a ticket buyer.

    I wouldn't be so sure, the Pistons are a good guard away from being ECF contenders imo.

    Maybe Kennard ends up being that guy.

    If he plays like 2016 George Hill, you’re right. He was just so bad in Sacramento he has to prove it to me.

    In three years though, they’ll be a good PF away from being an ECF contender.

    No, they are a good guard away from being a playoffs team. That's still a long way from ECF. 76ers development curve is way more promising than Pistons too, as is Celtics.

    I think LeBron is gonna stay in Cleveland, they will probably match offers on Hood and probably get on of Carter/Bamba in the draft. Definelty will get some ring chasing vets too to fill the rest of the roster.

    Hill / Clarkson
    Hood / JR / Korver
    LeBron / Osman
    Love / Nance
    Thompson / Carter

    That's a better roster than anywhere else on the market.

    Yup. Especially matching Dame and CJ's timeline.

    The next time I hear that "there is an adjustment period", or the team has to get used to each other, I'll refer to what half of a new team of Cavs is doing to the Celtics in Boston. Up 25 late in the third and making it look easy.

    Well when you have LeBron James, adjusting is easy. He's the best team player of all time.

    It's simple pick-n-roll basketball. Sure, Lebron makes it easier.

    The fact that the Cavs turned Shumpert, Rose, Crowder and a future 2nd round pick into Hood and Hill makes me so salty
