    True, doing it this way probably really messed them up and will make it easier to tank for the number one pick and get it for what, the 3-4th time in 15 years?

    Because they were delusional:

    "The Cavaliers were hoping to remain competitive without James..."

    Kyrie, long gone. LeBron, gone. Love, injured. I personally think Lue is a shitty coach, but CLE's roster and expectations are even shittier.

    Then they'd have to admit he was a faux coach. Why not just wait till a couple weeks into the season, fire him, and hire an interim coach till they can get a better one. I think by the time Lebron made his decision most of the good coaches were taken. I think they will wait and see who else gets fired and pick someone up.

    The Cavs have been a garbage franchise for a long time now. It took one of the greatest players of all time to cover up for the stench everyone else in that organization has.

    In the last 20 seasons they've made the playoffs 9 times, all with LeBron. 9 out of those 20 seasons they didn't have LeBron and were horrible. The other 2 seasons were Lebron's first 2 years.

    Every single person outside Cleveland knew they should have traded Love. What does Cleveland do? They sign him to an extension instead. It's like Gilbert is trying to prove he doesn't need LeBron but just keeps making things worse.

    Wiz down 30 to the Clips. A day after Wall/Beal called out teammates.

    Someone's getting traded/fired.

    That proves it, we're the unluckiest team in the league! We played WAS 6 days too soon. If only the schedule makers didn't hate us so much!

    Not the same roster, obviously, but I remember the Clippers starting out red hot before cooling off significantly. I really like their rookies especially Shai.

    I laughed when those two called out their teammates.
    Wall and Beal are one of the main problems with that organization.
    I remember during the blazer game Wall made a pass to Morris in OT, which Morris hit a 3.
    Instead of celebrating with his teammate after Portland called a timeout.
    Wall decided to put both thumbs in his chest and yell 'that's me' all the way to his bench.
    Beal made sure the refs knew who he was by saying. 'I'm Bradley Beal'. After he got called for a foul.

    These two are some of the most selfish players in the NBA today. Yet they call out their teammates for caring about stats.
    What a joke.
