If IT comes back and that injury has robbed him of his quickness, rip Cavs.

Rick: Feb 23, 2004; When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

the degree of denial he's in about his post game is pretty amazing in that it's been ongoing for so long.

not to mention he's played under SVG, D'Antoni, not really guys who mince words. I imagine even McHale probably took him aside and said "have you considered just dunking the ball" after the 500th clanged hook shot

He was for most of that season averaging a career high in post up attempts under D'Antoni (although I half think that was a directive to try and keep him on board with the team), at least until Kobe and Nash decided (correctly) the way to win was to ice him out unless he was right under the basket. He'd still get his post attempts but only when those guys were out of the game.

I don't think so, Jae is much more important . They can replace Kyrie at least through the East and who knows in the Finals ?

I love Jae. Very very much. But he is not much more important than IT unless IT's hip has truly fallen off

I just realized the funniest team to claim Wade off the waivers and ruin his chance to join the Cavs would be Golden State. Won't happen but would own.

IMO you can't replace Kyrie with a bench level guard that can't hit 3s and be ok, they need IT to be a factor.

The only time they'd both be on the floor would be on the second unit with Korver, Frye and one of JR/Crowder/Jefferson who can all shoot threes OR they will be in a lineup with Lebron in which case it doesn't matter you have Lebron. But yeah, it's not ideal.

LeBron's an all time great but I don't think you can just throw him out there with zero spacing on offense and expect him to be exactly as efficient, especially in the playoffs.

They have plenty of shooters. LeBron won championships with Chalmers as a PG and that guy couldn't even shoot let alone do anything else you'd expect from a PG.

More than won't, you need to be able to take on the players salary with open cap space. I don't think any team has that cap space without moving players.

Pretty much; that team needs a tear down and rebuild.

Individually, he really needs at least an avg shot from outside.

With Wade on the Cavs they now have two Finals MVP winners along with the two regular season MVPs so I dare say as of now they're even with the Warriors who also have two of each.

This was the original idea behind the site. The character limit was because you could post via SMS. Twitter is sort of something that became successful despite itself.

They've been trying to sell it for years now, but the second a major corp buys it they are going to have to deal with so much bullshit, that it keeps falling apart.

I think Disney was in discussions to buy it most recently.
