For real though...

Does it really make a difference at this point? Don’t get me wrong, on a personal level, I want these guys to be healthy and strong and vibrant. On a team level, it makes no difference whatsoever, because no matter who is on the court, they are a rec-center team this year, who allows a horrible team on an 11 games loosing slide to shoot 57% against them in their own house. I love the Cavs, but am not loving THIS team, if you get what I mean…

2010 - 2011 Cavs

Give me a “P” Give me an “I” Give me an “N” Give me a “G” - sounds like the start of a great Lottery cheer…

Trade!

Boobie out is pretty bad, he’s been my favourite player since we drafted him, but with AP out it give Manny and Eyenga more of a chance to show coach Scott what they can do. We need to make a big trade, only guys that we shouldnt trade: Boobie, JJ, Eyenga and Harris. Keep youth. If we get the right deal for Mo or Andy, do it. I love them both but we need major changes. Jamison and his contract need to be sent to a contending team. Not much point him being on a lottery team.
