Love the schedule

I think Cade will get Harden and Thompson will be on Mitchell. Ausar could be swapped if one of the Cavs starts going off on Cade.

That Jakob Poeltl extension will haunt Toronto. Around $28 million per starting next year. He played 19 MPG and gave them 7 points and 6 rebounds per game in the Cleveland series. He was pretty much unplayable at times.

Look at what Thompson did to Bane this series.

So Anthony Black ended up being the Magic defender who defended Cade on the most possessions for the series. Cade's EFG% was 34% with Black as the primary defender, a full 5 points lower than when Franz defended him.

Series odds: SA -1200 OKC -1600 NYK -270 DET -120

Most expect Orlando to fire Mosley. The first name I read in the rumor mill to replace him is Dusty May. College coaches don't have a good track record jumping to the NBA. Can't imagine why they would want to go the junior varsity route.

A lot better on offense than Ausar, but still can't shoot at all. I don't think I would give him a max extension. Especially not this summer. Wait and see what he does next year and maybe then he is worth the max.

He should be the face of the Cavs organization.

Pretty sure he is a free agent this summer.

It was a dumb trade from a GM with no clue about the new CBA. It was 100% a trade you make in the past but you absolutely cant do it now under the new rules. They are now an apron team which means their roster is pretty much locked in. The new rules make it almost impossible to maneuver via trades and free agency is impossible. Their roster will have ehh, a good $250-$300 million in luxury tax payments in 3 years. They have: No PG. Absolutely nobody to distribute the ball. No Shooting. They make Detroit look like the splash brother era Warrior teams they are so bad. And Franz being out didn't do that. He is a career 32% three point shooter. Suggs being out didn't do that. He is a career 33% three point shooter. No PoA defender. Suggs can handle smaller guards like Brunson. But nobody to guard the bigger guys like Cade, Jalen Johnson, etc. Best part. They have no way to fix any of their roster problems because they are now an apron team. On top of that, they have no draft picks worth a damn to help fix any of their problems. If you make a deal like that, it has to be two things. 1) He has to be a star if you give up that much and lock yourself in that bad. Bane is a nice player, he is not even close to being a star. 2) He has to be the final piece to the puzzle. If you are going to lock your roster in because of all the new rules, you can't have massive holes to fix on your roster. They do. I love aggressive GM's. Hell, I had multiple aggressive trade ideas for Detroit. Difference is, none of them put them in the roster/salary hell Orlando is in for the next 3 years.

He had another funny tweet. Something like, the worst part of Spirit shutting down is now having to share a plane with Spirit customers.

Said it all year. That Bane trade will go down as one of the worst trades ever. It left them with a very incomplete roster. They don't even have a PG. Starting this summer they are a 1st apron team with zero draft capital. They basically have two years to win before their payroll balloons up over $500 million a year.

Wow, look at that TS%. Mid 50's is considered garbage. Of course, the only Pistons 55% and up were Duren, Stew, Cade, and Reed.

Dosunmu also questionable. I don't think it matters Spurs are going to steam roll Minnesota.

Why is Legler blowing Duren? Do they have the same agent?

LeVert DNP-CD

Bane was traded for more first round picks than he has made field goals today

He is why you didn't trade for Markkanen. Good players, never healthy

Duren is going to get a second round to redeem himself

Jenkins is complete ass for 6 games, finally had a good one, runs his mouth like he is MJ
