depends on what the pick is.

i really dont like the news surrounding dudes shoulder.

I like Korver and hope he gets traded to a team that wants to win, but man, Foltz sucks. I don't want him.

I also hope someone trades for TT so he can get the hell out of this hell-hole.

I've watched the last few games and TT really seems like he's enjoying himself out there. He really seems engaged and trying to help out the younger guys.

I’d rather bring a disinterested JR back and start him than have Fultz, for free. He’s hurt and he’s got the yips. The 76ers know he’s G-League material. It’s over for him.

Hold on to Korver for a better trade package. He’s the one asset multiple teams will want, and bid high for.

playing okc tough tonight

so just an overall thought, the biggest recurring problem i see is our inability to score consistently in the paint.

and i mean more along the lines of finishing. right now Cedi is reminding me of iman shumpert (obvioulsy their games are different and cedi is more talented). what i mean is that just like shump, cedi is getting to the rim very easy.

what he's having trouble with is finishing. right now okc just went on a 9-0 run that could've been avoided simply by cedi finishing at the rim at least 2 of the 4 times he got there during the run.

right now our best finishers are sexton and clarkson. if cedi can develop more, which i think he will because he has crazy potential, we're gonna have one solid core going into next season.

Thanks for the BB take. I can't see the games and it's cool to read real BB takes. Thanks again.

Cedi might be the most frustrating guy on the team. He flashes several times a game and have you throwing stuff several times a game. I don't think his utilization should be as high as it is. But until Love and hill get back, and Dekker to an extent hes it. Sexton needs to learn better ball security. Love his tenacity but he plays out of control alot. TT has been better this year but still needs that consistency. Overall I'd say thats the common theme with cavs. They aren't consistent enough, and thats alot of youth with really no veterans to lead on the court. Guys like Love and Hill are missed for that reason. Once we get healthy its going to be interesting, we could end up being decent if all the pieces match up. But Love has been out so long its almost like he was traded before the season. But we need a guy like him in the post. His rebounding and passing alone would pay dividends

Cedi Osman is a trash can on the basketball court. We need to trade him or cut him now.

He has a PER of 8.84

Markelle Fultz's agent said he is suffering from Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. My understanding of this disorder is that blood vessels and/or nerves between one's collarbone and one of your ribs becomes compressed. Causes are continued injuries endured from your profession, car accidents or other dramatic trauma injuries, or pregnancy. I think physical therapy helps, but some might need surgery.

Not sure what type of surgery. Just remembering some things from when I took some classes while coaching. It was a long time ago and things may have changed.

This is probably mean, but I think Fultz's issues are between his ears more than his collarbone and upper rib.

COLLIN

SEXTON

helped lead us to a 6 point lead over the warriors at half!

nvm, we still suck. but progress!

LOL

It was a good first half, but fell apart after.

lol we only half sucked

j/c:

Speaking of basketball, here's an interesting NBA/Lebron James article:

WHY DOESN'T ANYONE WANT TO PLAY WITH LEBRON ANYMORE?

Report: Cavs get Dellavedova, Henson from Bucks for Hill
https://www.thescore.com/nba/news/1672673

The Cleveland Cavaliers acquired Matthew Dellavedova, John Henson, a first-round pick, and a future second-round pick from the Milwaukee Bucks for George Hill and Sam Dekker, a league source told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

More to come.

Yay! Delly is back! Welcome back man.

Can't believe we got a first round pick in this deal. That seems shocking.

He brings some much needed grit to this squad.

Report: Bucks land Hill in 3-team deal with Cavaliers, Wizards
https://www.thescore.com/nba/news/1672673

The Cleveland Cavaliers acquired Matthew Dellavedova, John Henson, and multiple draft picks in a three-team deal that will send George Hill, Jason Smith, and a future second-round pick to the Milwaukee Bucks, and Sam Dekker to the Washington Wizards, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Cavaliers will also receive the Bucks' 2021 first- and second-round picks.

In addition, the Wizards will swap second-rounders with the Cavaliers, receiving a 2021 pick in exchange for a 2022 pick, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

Hill upgrades the Bucks' bench while helping them shed nearly $20 million in salary for next season. He's guaranteed just $1 million of his $18-million deal for 2019-20 if waived before July 1.

The trade shows the 5-19 Cavaliers' commitment to prioritizing rookie Collin Sexton's development after their injury-riddled start to the year.

Dellavedova returns to Cleveland after spending his first three seasons with the Cavaliers, including winning an NBA championship as Kyrie Irving's backup during the 2015-16 campaign. He signed a four-year, $38-million contract with Milwaukee in 2016 but is averaging just 8.1 minutes in 12 games this season.

Henson started 69 games for the Bucks last season before the team acquired Brook Lopez to man the middle. He played in a significantly reduced role through his 14 appearances before suffering a torn left wrist ligament in November that will keep him out for approximately three months.

The Wizards' tax bill will drop from $14.5 million to $9.8 million after dealing Smith's expiring $5.5-million deal for Dekker's contract, which is worth nearly $2.8 million, according to ESPN's Bobby Marks.

Delly and a FIRST for George Hill! What a steal!

“First”

There’s some heavy protections on that pick. This trade is basically a salary dump for the Bucks. They can now also move George Hill, and his expiring contract, before the deadline if they want.

Best Delly memories.

When we were in the Finals and he played D so hard that after the game he had to go to the hospital for an IV.

And then, after we won the Finals, there was the parade. And afterwards, Kevin Love was complaining that his car in the parade was behind the Delly car. And he had to listen to Delly! Delly! Delly! chants the whole parade.

lmao

I agree it was a salary dump by the Bucks, but what "protections" are on that pick?

Cedi Osman went full trash can mode tonight, again.

He’s just another Euro guy that can’t play at this level the way we hoped. He’s a bench guy and when he finally gets there we will be better. He really struggles to defend at this level and his jumper is horrific. It’s like dude, there’s a reason you’re so open for 3s

Come on guys. The dude didn’t get all that much PT, and this is his 2nd year on a struggling team. Cede has certainly flashed and has the potential, and has great athleticism.

I applaud Gilbert, and Cavs management for seeing the bigger picture. Subtle moves can go far.

Yeah, get rid of the waste ... who cares if you win 25 games or 18

Hoping its more like 12, Zion, Barrett, or Hashimora or whatever his name is.

I think RJ Barrett will be a better pro than Zion.

Cavs starting well tonight. Up 38-25 after the 1st quarter.

Cavs up 22 before the half? Perfect time to put some money on the Wizards.

Edit: The money line is 6.0. Hmm...

Cavaliers up 27 with 9 minutes left.

collin sexton!!!
