I'm not sure where he fits, but damn the Cavs are going to be able to spread the floor.

Aren't he and Dunleavy about the same?

So we can potentially see line ups of:

Lebron, kyrie, love, jr, korver
Lebron kyrie, frye, jr, korver
Lebron, kyrie, love, frye, korver

And a host of other lineups. Sounds to me we're trying to break the 3 point record we already set.

Would be hilarious if we broke that record on the hawks in the playoffs. Back to back.

Depends. If you're just trying to murder people at the 3 line while kyrie and lebron slash the paint, then sit TT for a few minutes.

Well, I am not a huge fan of this move. I think the Cavs need to address the backup PG position, and Korver surely isn't that guy.

I think it's fine. Lue probably feels good with felder, especially cause everything looks terrible right now since we're battling an injury bug so early in the season.

I didn't know this was possible, per Windy:

Cavs are making a separate deal with Blazers. They will trade their 2017 1st to get their 2018 first back, sources said.

Dun just didn't fit in on the floor when he played. All well, I thought it was a nice pick up initially

Okay. Windy has mentioned this as a possibility before. The blazers are the only team in the league that we can trade our first to since they own our 1st the following year. As long as we get a first back the following year.

Holy cow ... We'd give up nothing. We'd only really swap what year our first rounder is, while upgrading Dunleavy to Korver.

I am not complaining, but how in the world do you think that Korver is a better player than Dunleavy?>

Howard's contract is not as good as Korver and Millsap. And he still wants to post up all the time. I wouldn't want him at this point in his career.

Millsap on other hand. . . every contending team should be trying to get him.

Korver is a career 42% 3pt shooter. Dunleavy is at 37%. That's essentially the only reason either of them would be on the team. Korver is also two seasons removed from an All-Star appearance and is having a better year than Dunleavy.

Okay, but I thnk Dunleavy is way better moving w/out the ball, is a better rebounder, and a better defender.

Again, I am not really complaining, but I don't really get the logic of this move.

Historically, yeah I agree. But he's looked pretty slow/old this year. Overall, I think he was brought on to be a spot up shooter. That's really what most role-guys on this team are meant to do. He's only hit 35% of 3-pointers this year. Korver is just the better three point shooter, so for us, it would make more sense.

Also, you're missing the other part of the deal ... we get to off-load Mo Williams contract, which means we'd have a roster spot open for someone like Jared Jack or Mario Chalmers.

Just saw this somewhere too:

Channing Frye is the second best spot up shooter in the league. 1.53 PPP.
Kyle Korver is 1st, at 1.55.

I think the Milwaukee Bucks are at the perfect age right now. By the time they're ready to compete for rings, Lebrons reign of terror in the east should be done. Giannis could be the best player in the NBA very soon.

a lineup of Irving, LeBron, Love, Frye, and Korver is insane to guard. yes, I realize it's a defensive problem ... but it in a last possession scenario it's perfect

I don't like giving up Osman and a first for a 35 year old with injury history with diminishing skills. But i guess it is what is . Hopefully he picks up some of the slack from JR. I also see it's been said more moves are in the works.

I haven't exactly heard a whole lot of positives of Osman. There's a very strong chance he never would have seen minutes with us. Also, we technically didn't give up a 1st rounder.

Westbrook had 49, but they appeared to be "me-first" shots. Even on their last possessions with the score tied, Westbrook chucked a 3 while Harden passed up a shot to pass to an open teammate going to the basket, which won the game.

As much as I want to watch Westbrook every time he's on TV, Harden's the MVP right now.

I know we don't have a whole lot of reason to watch the regular season, but I enjoy watching guys like Liggins, McRae, and Felder develop. Liggins is all effort and has nice athleticism and length.
