Does anyone think we can use Rose as our 2?
JR is pathetic. Rose has some quickness and he would give us another ball handler in addition to IT. JR "Miss" is killing us...I thought our two guard rotation was poor last year JR/Shump...It's even worse this year. JR's effort and body language is very telling to me...Idk what is going on with him, but he never slashes anymore and half asses most of everything else. I think its possible to play Rose at #2...However with Isiah being already pint sized...that's a really small back court...I do love Rose's effort and least he puts his hands up and scrambles on D...Also despite all his injuries he still slashes to the bucket. Team is awfully small, slow, and overpriced Be interesting what happens at the trade deadline...

JR is pathetic. Rose has some quickness and he would give us another ball handler in addition to IT. Given what we've seen, most definitely. Trouble is he'd probably get hurt with the increase in PT. He's playing better D than anyone on the team right now.

we got 3 guys on horrible contracts right now:
TT, JR, and Shump.
and as of now, all 3 are useless. we got our 2 guard average a whole 7 points a game.
i like our bench, so we don't even need to touch it, but i wouldnt mind moving rose to the 2 just to see what happens. but right now our fastest guys are Rose and IT.
one is getting completely abused on the defensive end, the other makes everyone gasp when he hits the floor.
but we need those two because one is a good scorer and the other plays solid D and still creates. i'd still take kemba over IT, but right now the 2 guard starting spot is way more of an importance to make a move on.

He's playing better D than anyone on the team right now. Good point about the injury thing. JR's 'tude is bugging me. I'd cut his ass. DRose at least tries to play D and he is pretty quick and create some shots. The only problem--other than his injury history--is that he is not the outside shooter that you would typically want in a 2. I think we gotta shake some things up.

Sorry to get off the Cavs conversation, but dang, Chris Paul is such a great, great player. He is so smart. He always seems to be in the right place. He is an underrated shooter and obviously a great passer. But, what I love the most is how freaking tough he is.
The guy is a pleasure to watch.

That’s why the only way I trade for Jordan is if we get Williams too. Then we upgrade two of our most worthless players. But I still think you need to fire Lue. Hire fizdale or Jackson. Lebron sure seem committed to him lol

I think it’s hilarious. Blatt was 100x the coach Lue is. This team has gotten worse every year under Lue. More lebron meddling that backfired. If I’m Altman and lebron won’t commit I go from being a buyer to a seller so we aren’t stuck without any capital to rebuild. I know it sounds harsh but this team needs too much

Jason Kidd got the axe. That is bad news for the rest of the Eastern Conference (if the Bucks get a good coach).

I’ve said since last year Kidd was holding that team back. Curious who they end up with, if they end up with Fizdale or Jackson lookout

If only Jabari Parker wasn’t made of glass.
I pull for them because the Greek Freak is fun to watch and Delly is there (not playing much though).

Wheels coming off the bus? (It starts with poor leadership from the top)..... Adrian Wojnarowski Verified account @wojespn The Cleveland Cavaliers held an emotional team meeting prior to Monday’s practice, where several players challenged the legitimacy of Kevin Love leaving OKC loss on Saturday ill and missing Sunday’s practice, league sources tell ESPN. Tweet Adrian Wojnarowski Verified account @wojespn In a locker room increasingly full of finger-pointing, Love defended himself and explained his side to teammates, coaches and management, sources said. At end of meeting, there was a sense with some that team had worked out some issues, but that ultimately remains to be seen. Tweet

Getting tired of this dumb drama with the Cavs. Lebron is obviously a top 5 player of all time, but he brings baggage and headaches too

Jason Kidd really has no argument either ... his team is 8th in the East with top 3 talent

He’s scared to make a tough decision. Says he don’t like making changes during losing streak. Seriously, stupid. And my biggest issue with lebron is we are mostly in this mess because of him and his representation. Bulls were able to build around Jordan because he committed to them long term. Lebron constantly puts the FO in bad place. He’s great but he’s not a team. Last time I checked other teams have won championships. It’s still a team game. I hope he commits long term and holds true to his word, but if he won’t I would seriously consider a fire sale and prep for future

David Blatt's team gave up 151 points that same night and lost. Oops. That was an all-star game though. In comparison, the last two NBA all-star games have been won by the West, 192-182 and 196-173.

You wanted to cheer for them back then. Now they just seem like drama queens.

The beginning of the end. I could see 3-4 players traded.
I also don't think they'll ship the Nets pick. If this team is dysfunctional, bringing in a star won't change the playoffs outcome. Therefore, the Nets pick is needed for the Cavs future.

I was kind of hoping Golden State would turn into drama queens ... so much success/attention with big egos
Sadly, it looks like Cleveland is the victim of it

Iman Shumpert is back tonight. Just in time to show-off before being traded (if rumors are true).

I'm gonna go out on a short limb and say he's not being narcissistic with that post. He's posting a picture of himself way back when he was still living in a rough neighborhood saying, hey!, look how far you've come!
WE DON'T NEED A QB BEFORE WE GET A LINE THAT CAN PROTECT HIM
my two cents...

That's the rumor I was referring to. On a related note, George Hill has not played at all tonight against ORL. Not wanting to risk an injury prior to being traded?
