The Paul George issue is a disaster waiting to happen. You are not going to win anything if you have THREE superstars that need the ball in their hands to perform. Wade and Lebron, Yeah. Wade, and Kyrie, Yeah. Bron, Kyrie, and PG? ISO Ball? four players standing around while one player takes his turn?

You guys will lose another series now, and say lebron does not have enough help

I don't know where you guys learned your basketball from.
You better call your front office to go after Gordon Hayward.

Paul George is also a very good scorer. One of the best drivers and dunkers in the league. He doesn't need the ball constantly in his hands to do that. He can switch with LeBron when bron gets tired. Stop saying stu pid things. Good players evolve their game to suit their teams needs. All pessimists like you see are limitations. If cavs were to add someone like cp3 then I'd say yeah I see what you mean.

This no good brainless oaf keeps challenging the knowledge of others after the blunders He's committed. SMH! I don't even know why I take you seriously.

Yuuup. But the question is who do we trade. Personally I only want TT out. Edy Tavares can't play any worse than him.


TT isn't enough for PG or butler. But they could lose him for nothing through free agency. So let's see what happens...
shumpert and tt for me can go.

This is LeBron James

He played with the Miami Heat in the 2014 Finals against the San Antonio Spurs.

In game One of that Finals, the air conditioning in the building broke.

a 38-year old Tim Duncan finished the game without any complaints.

LeBron James had to be carried out with cramps in the same game.

This is Isiah Thomas

He was in the NBA Finals in 1988

In Game 6, he sprained his ankle in the third quarter

He continued, scoring 25 points in that quarter with that bad ankle,

He was not carried out like LeBron James who had mere cramps

Be like Isiah, not LeBron

This is Michael Jordan

He was in the Finals in 1997

Before game 5 he was down with either food poisoning or a stomach virus

He played most of the game and finished it with 38 points

He was not carried out like LeBron James with cramps

Congrats to the GSW on winning the Chapionship. Congrats to LeBron and the Cleveland Cavaliers for another great season. There's nothing to be ashamed of.

Lue coaching was poor. We had no bench production all series and still refused to put in Derrick Williams. Reason why i was bannes in the second half of game 5 is still a riddle i cant seen to solve. The admin who did that must have been on perc mixed with molly. smh

We'll be back next year.

Paul George or Jimmy butler, who do yall think is a perfect fit for the cavs?

I wld go with pg13 though.

I would pick PG and we send Love. Love is a good defender at this point but not close to PG as a two-way player. Cavs would be sacrificing a little bit of size for a genuine forward who can create his own shot, knock down 3s, and guard KD for stretches of time. Even though TT has been worse, Cavs cant afford to loose him for PG, i wonder where the Cavs would rank in their defense if TT is gone.

An addition of PG would increase the chances against GSW.

I've seen this somewhere before. Its unfortunate we may have to give up love, i want to eat my cake and have it. I want a big 4, not a big 3.

Thanks to Lebron and his posse that will most likely not happen. JR Smith has no business being on an 8 figure salary, TT too tbh, Lebron has earned his $100m/3 but you could argue that maybe he could have taken a little bit less. Kevin Love a little bit less than $120m/5

It is almost a given that a big earner has to leave to make any sort of room for PG

Pacers can rebuild with Love. They'll never take TT for PG. tbh i really want Love gone. We saw the numbers Love put up in Wolves when he was the top dawg.

Agreed. Lebron leveraged the front office into paying these bums too much. These guys are earning more than curry right now, i know he'll sign a contract soon but right now thats the situation.

Like KD is about to take a pay cut bron should take one too.

Only knicks are desperate enough to take TT and JR (I doubt they will + hes brons buddy) for melo and i honestly dont think melo is the right fit.


It would have to be a three or even four team trade for this to work. We need paul george and love to standard a chance.

True, but on a good day we have a great 3 point shooter and a rebounder in love we wouldn't want to lose that. Game 4 love is amazing. If we can add to that then we have a chance other wise trading him for PG wont change anything. Plus lebron isnt getting any younger so there are alot of things to consider.

The Love they called a bum is the one that the Pacers will rebuild on and trade PG13 (who will command more financially BTW) for. LOL.

Man is a bum when he loses with Bron but becomes good enough for Pacers to trade PG13 with.

3 ball dominant ISO dependent players will come together and they wonder why Mavs beat their GROAT in 2011.

The same Love whose absence was the reason Cavs lost in 2015 according to you people? grin

Love is a better post player than PG13.
Love is a way better rebounder.
Love is a better passer.

Heck, Love is willing to take less shots than PG13.

Careful what you wish for. Cavs lost because you can ISO your way into Ws when stars align and paradigm shifts to make that happen and only then. Team ball always wins.

That's the problem I have with these Lebron fans. Kyrie is great because he's so good at being clutch at saving them in close games.. But Kevin who always finds it hard to find his role against Golden state is a BUM.. Stupeed ass thinking.. Dude lead their team in rebounds, had that 7 3s in one quarter or so and they say he's a game 5 bum.. He doesn't fit playing with the Warriors because of match up problems but dem no go gree. I want them to get Paul George. And learn what it means to play team basketball like the 2016 regular season warriors with Barnes (not KD) on it.

Same Franchise that went afterBogut who didn't play 20 games for Dallas over injury. Same dumb moves when they went after Kyle Korver, Deron Williams and Derrick Williams when their problem was defense. Same franchise that overpaid JR and TT.. They better go after PG. They'll learn the hard way.. Because na 3 on 3 we dey play for NBA.

It seems I am the only one seeing things. How do you put three top players that like to be ball dominant in their hands? These guys can't really play off the ball.

Remember Goerge isn't a player like bosh or Garnett that can get theirs under the basket?

They might win with him, but it will take a long time I bet.

It's a hard offer to pass up honestly if it comes up, but I definitely wouldn't do it.

People forget the KD addition worked because dude only needs the ball for 4 seconds to be effective.

I remember when we kept saying their D was the problem then, but because GM Lebronda said they needed a playmaker, they focused on playmaker and played him off the ball and they wonder why Deron played like trash. Just imagine if Kerr played Shaun L off the ball as a catch and shoot player. lol

He would have to adjust his game to catch and shoots, less dribbles, post-playing etc. That is easier said than done. Kyrie himself cannot cope without dribbling 10 times but he makes up for it with his superb scoring. Nobody will coach a team that has Lebron and put the ball in another person's hands so really I don't think PG13 is a good fit for them.
