OT: Cavs/Celtics vying for Jamiston..Cavs trying to get Amare!

Damn!

per Adam W's twitter (yahoo dude)

 

yikes.

 

Teams are just always trying to get better. We, right now, are not. It could pay off in the long run if Batum/Bayless/Rudy develop into studs or at least 1 of them. If not, then what? It'll be hard to trade them if they flop in the sense that they are just mainly role players. Maybe not hard, but they won't have the value they do currently IMO. Teams are always looking to get better, I don't sense that with KP at the helm, perhaps I am wrong, who knows. We just have to hope our young talent pans out because if it doesn't, it could be bad for us.

 

In Pritch We Trust!

 

but yeah, NBA champions are made by making big, ballsy moves for elite players. None of this Brendan Haywood bullshit. No trading ZBO for Imaginary cap space!

Trade for Garnett = Ring
Trade for Gasol = Ring

that's how you get it done now.

 

It isn't just this year teams will try and get better but in the future to when we hope to make our run. Like I said if one guy develops into a stud along with Roy, Aldridge and hopefully a healthy and dominant Oden, than we will be in good shape. But as of now, that is hoping for a lot, not taking into account Roy's injury history and if that will ever play a role in the playoffs and he may possibly get hurt. Hoping Oden to stay healthy is all hope and if he can and plays like he was this season, no doubt in my mind we will be a great team. But until then, we have to hope players develop, people like Wade and Bosh or whoever DON'T go to one team, and no other teams are looking to get better/improve more.

 

Truth hurts

 

Garnett wasn't exactly young when he got traded, but he bought into the team and help contribute in a positive way. Who's to say a player like Butler who isn't young could do the same for next year when we hope to try and make a run? How about young guys like Iggy who are rumored to be on the block?

 

VC was amazing the other night.

 

Makes sense for both the Cavs and Celtics to go all-in, since they're trying to win it all this year. Boston is old and the Cavs want to keep Lebron happy, so it's now or never.

Is it now or never for the 3rd youngest team in the league, who have lost both centers to season ending injury?

 

Teams are in win now mode because they have old teams and their window is closing. Perfect times for teams in win now mode to make a move is the deadline.

 

Well then, since we don't have a player of Kobe's caliber and since we don't have any type of those guys on our roster barring a healthy Oden possibly, I guess we should just concede trying to win a Championship whether we make a trade or not. Sounds to me from your post we don't have much of a chance.

 

Garnett is a franchise player. It wasn't he "bought into the team".

 

Celtics are old, yes. Mavericks are kind of, yes. Lakers will get about 5 years maybe even more from Kobe, I think. The Cavs aren't all that old and any team with LeBron and Amare, I don't think I would bet against. Then you have up and coming teams such as the Thunder who look good and have cap space for next year and could make a trade if they wanted/needed or sign a very nice player. Just because some teams are old and will be gone by our time, doesn't mean every team will be done.

My question is, if we are ever in win now mode, will we ever make that type of trade to put us over the type if needed? Will KP go against his thing of doing mid-season traded? Right now, he has not shown to be that type of person, can he be, I guess we will see.

 

Carter is having the worst season of his career, and it isn't even close. He's done.

 

VC was amazing the other night.

 

The Cavs face the very real possibility of losing LeBron after this season. I'm not sure there is a team in the league with a greater sense of urgency right now. If they land Amare, I'd think LeBron would be much more likely to stay in Cleveland.
