Super theoretical situation here.

Let's assume that DWade and Melo both get bought out and the Cavs add them for basically nothing.

Kyrie
JR
Lebron
Love
TT

Wade
Melo
Ian Sjumpert
Some scrub center they sign in the offseason

Does that make them competitive against the Warriors?

Not too much as Wade/Melo are both cooked.

Lockback posted:

Wade was still alright in Chicago. Giving him minutes instead of Shumpert would be a big positive on offense, though I don't know who he'd guard. He's still pretty good at sniffing out passing lanes but he's been pretty slow otherwise. Maybe let him play PG off the bench.

Melo is interesting too, because a Love/Melo/Lebron/JR/Kyrie lineup is a pretty good answer to the Draymond/Durant/Iggy/Klay/Steph lineup. Doesn't match perfectly but it'd probably be a step up what they had. I am also assuming Melo would work harder on D than he has in the recent past.

Wade looked done in the 2014 finals. He closed the Bulls season out shooting 1for10. He looks gassed on defense in the first quarter of regular season games.

I want the awards delayed more. I need more time to think about the regular season. Postpone them to October or November.

That's interesting. I wonder if there are some distinctions in bankruptcy law or something because I've seen dozens of articles using the "IL FIRST STATE to EXPLODE" headline. Maybe just clickbait.

While I'm inclined to agree based on their position as star players, you don't think that they would be effective for 24 minutes a game a pop?

I think four of them would stand around after the opposing team easily scores on a backdoor cut and go "I thought YOU were supposed to play defense this play"

Yea, but that's a different thing. Wade/Carmelo would make the EC playoffs even easier for the Cavaliers but we're talking about having guys that can take down the greatest team of all-time.


To defeat the Warriors I'd start by adding these six to the Cavaliers bench for 2018:

The Beard
The Stifle Tower
Jimmy G. Buckets
The Claw
The Greek Freak
Jonathan Clay Redick

Pritchard is wanting to put together his own Alpha Squad.

However, Rondo restored his standing around the league with his professionalism and playoff performance under trying circumstances last season and is expected to draw interest from at least the Pelicans and Pacers in free agency.

Also w/r/t the All Defense Teams, I didn't realize Anthony Davis was so highly regarded as a defender. Has he improved that much, or is it just a rebounds / blocks thing
