    I'm happy to see him reliably (past 3 or 4 games at least) get non-garbage minutes...
    ...but why only 4 every game?

    Obviously the kid must be doing something right in practice that Chauncey wants to reward him, but then he yanks him so quickly. Odd. But at least he's in the rotation, unlike, say, Elleby or Brown.

    This tells me Roco is gone for sure...they're warming him up in the bullpin in case..I'm glad Chauncey isn't afraid to play rookies against NBA talent

    Without Zeller we are short a big. Watford is more willing to mix it up down low than Brown is. Elleby can't play that role. He's getting minutes because he's the lone alternative. TBF, he's generally performed adequately, but he's also not being asked to do a lot.

    Play the young guys....why not? It's obviously higher drafted players, but look what the Cavs are doing with a largely under 24 roster. Up to 3# in the East.

    Cavs are really good. Rubio has been awesome for them. And Love is starting to wake up. If Mobley stays healthy, they could make it to the ECF or better.

    Ed Davis is their starting center recently I heard and he's been rebounding really well...he's part of their success....we should've picked him up instead of Zeller

    To be fair, Zeller SHOULD be much better at this point in their respective careers.

    Just a shame he doesn't get 35 mins per game in G League to get more experience.

    Only reason he even sees the court is because Zeller is hurt and Nurk can't stay on the court.

    The fact that we didn't buy a G-League team the moment Olshey left tells me our owner doesn't want to spend the $$

    Is there a "G-league" team available right now for sale?

    Cavs have literally been the best team in the NBA over the last ten games.

    Love is +9, 14.6 points, 6.5 rbs, 49% from 3... in under 20 mpg. Right now I don't think the Cavs would trade him for CJ if WE included a pick.

    Do any G-League teams make money? Everybody in the league seems to own one. We could almost certainly start one in Seattle tomorrow (Key Arena!) if we wanted.

    I'd probably go with Salem instead...

    It is what we should go for after a conplete teardown. Gives us the best sustainable opportunity at a potential contender. That is what small market trams generally have to do. We waited to long to go for it and made too many dumb moves. Our timeline can't really be like the Bucks.

    So you think you can just start a team the day the GM is fired and throw it into the mix? Really?

    I'm just glad @Rastapopoulos didn't make an ill conceived thread about it.
