The Gipper Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 The Cavaliers now have the worst record in the NBA.....well...alrighty then. This tactic has worked for them before. They ended up with 4 #1 overall picks since 2000: LeBron, Kyrie, Andrew Wiggins, and somebody Bennet (was it Anthony? He played as well as singer Tony Bennett). But now, all the hype is that the next best thing since LeBron may be coming up in next year's draft. This guy Zion Williamson, freshman from Duke...who could be the next best thing since LeBron: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLEVELANDwantsPLAYOFFS Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 He’s been looking like the next lebron since he was 16. The CAVS would be very fortunate to win the lottery. Barrett is a good looking player too. The Cavs would be kind of relevant next year if they could land either of those two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stillmotion Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Zion looks like the real deal. Hopefully Lebron wins a chip in L.A. then comes back for his last couple of years with Zion to win one more for cleveland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted November 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 LeBron is in semi-retirement. Dumping JR and now Korver shows that the Cavs are going for the #1 pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clevfan4life Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 I don't watch much NCCA basketball, but is zion much of a shooter? Seems to me he's a different kind of player than LeBron...not that long stretch 3 nigga but more a legit 4 like Blake Griffin, but with better dribbles than Blake.

Clevfan4life Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 you draft zion IF you can put an elite PG behind him, who can also score, and a legit center that can take the heavy lifting off him. If you draft him only to make him do ALL the paint work...it isn't going to work. I would wait to see where the Cavs will pick, and if they get the 1...trade Kevin for those pieces you can put around zion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a more tankier left handed version of LBJ. Beast in the paint.

Collin Sexton is starting to look like the PG of the future. He’s only 20 and is having a solid rookie campaign. The other night I was able to watch them play the Heat(shot 11-17 with 27 points 6 assists). His floater was beautiful. He hit about 5 of them in a row over shot blockers. He was flashing some range, knocking down some 3s as well. Cam Reddish is really growing on me, a 6’8” small forward who can shoot and get to the basket and score...

The Gipper Posted May 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 It is hilarious watching the talking heads on TV who are slobbering all over themselves thinking that Zion would be going to the Knicks or Lakers, or ever the Hawks......and not one mention being made of the fact that the Cavs are one of 3 teams that have the best chance to get the #1 pick for the rights to draft Zion. I would love it to happen so that these shitheads would have to eat their turds. Of course, the question may be: what underhanded shenanigans do you think the NBA could pull to insure that one of the "big market" teams gets that first pick.

CLEVELANDwantsPLAYOFFS Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 And shenanigans occurred we got 5th. New Orleans with Zion and Anthony Davis now. Scary. Of course they could still trade AD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted May 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Pelicans #1, Memphis #2, Knicks #3, Lakers #4, Cavs #5. When I saw that both the Knicks and the Lakers were going to be in the Top 4.....I really thought that the conspiracy could have been in. I am just glad that the "small markets" New Orleans and Memphis got the Top 2 if the Cavs could not have gotten one of them. And at #5...they can still get a damned good player. Maybe that guy from Virginia. All he did was lead his team to a national Championship, which not even Zion could do. And I believe that it could happen that Anthony Davis could now stay in N.O. I think he would be stupid not to want to......unless, like LeBron, he has non-basketball reasons to want to go to LA. (But AD is a butt ugly dude with no personality...just game. He would have no business wanting the "Hollywood" lifestyle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted May 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Here is there current roster...or at least the one from this past season. (some are out...some will be out): Here is the Cavaliers’ current roster, with position, age, height/weight and college in parentheses. Deng Adel, SF, age 22, 6-7/200 (Louisville) Jaron Blossomgame, SF, age 25, 6-8/220 (Clemson) Marquese Chriss, PF, age 21, 6-10/240 (Washington) Jordan Clarkson, PG, age 26, 6-5/194 (Missouri) Matthew Dellavedova, PG, age 28, 6-4/200 (Saint Mary's) Channing Frye, PF, age 35, 7-0/255 (Arizona) (I believe he has retired, no?) John Henson, F, age 28, 6-11/219 (North Carolina) Brandon Knight, PG, age 27, 6-3/195 (Kentucky) Kevin Love, PF, age 30, 6-10/251 (UCLA) Larry Nance Jr., PF, age 26, 6-9/230 (Wyoming) David Nwaba, SG, age 26, 6-4/219 (Cal Poly) Cedi Osman, SF, age 24, 6-8/215 (None) Collin Sexton, PG, age 20, 6-2/190 (Alabama) J.R. Smith, SG, age 33, 6-6/225 (None) did not play at all last year...unlikely to this year either Nik Stauskas, SG, age 25, 6-6/205 (Michigan) Tristan Thompson, C, age 28, 6-10/238 (Texas) Ante Zizic, C, age 22, 6-11/254 (None) To me...a Small Forward could be in order. Barrett likely gone, so Reddish or Hunter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLEVELANDwantsPLAYOFFS Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Great draft! 3 first round picks, just like the Browns did it Garland(who most of us probably never heard of due to injury last year) can shooooooot Windler(a lefty shooter who was drawing Korver compariosons). and Kevin Porter Jr. is being labeled a steal for the Cavs,a scorer who fell due to immaturity.

The Gipper Posted July 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 It would not surprise me if with Sexton and Garland that we essentially have 2 Kyrie Irvings on our hands. Which would be a tremendous test for any opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
