That was basically a 5 player draft and the Cavs missed out. Last year it was a 2-3 player draft and the Cavs missed out. Garland has a lot more play making ability to his game than Sexton that is for sure. With garland, just need his offensive game to develop before he truly start making plays tho. He has looked better the past couple of weeks. Sexton needs to be moved to the bench. Cavs need to get lucky and get a top2 pick. Either get Wiseman or get Ball I cringe every time I watch a Ja Morant highlight. I thought for the longest time that’s the guy we would end up with this draft. I love Garland but Ja is clearly head and shoulders above him right now. We are more than due for some lottery luck this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FGK Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 23 hours ago, Mind Character said: I think Sexton should've been Shai-Gilgeous Alexander. He has a strong efficiency and defensive rating while providing length and ball handling SG versatility. SGA is thought by most in the league as being one of the best young assets in the league while Sexton is not despite similar raw statistics. MPJ would've been a great pick for our purposes as well. With hindsight, I definitely agree that SGA is the pick there. And he was part of a group I was okay with taking once I saw who was available (I wanted MPJ, then Kevin Knox, then SGA, then Lonnie Walker... so 50-50 so far I guess). But I think AT THE TIME I was very surprised MPJ wasn't the pick considering he played perfectly into the tankapalooza. 16 hours ago, bigben07MVP said: Exum with 28 points in 22 minutes tonight! I'm really excited to see how the rest of the year goes for him. He's only 24, he's a long SG who can play a bit of SF in small ball lineups, and the best version of him is a great fit next to a Garland type PG. If he stays healthy and hits his potential then we have one more year of team control before having to extend him. IF he works out, I think Garland (PG), Exum (SG), Sexton (6th man scorer), and Cedi (3rd wing) give us 4 of the 9ish guys you need for a playoff team. Just need to turn draft picks, cap space, and Love/Thompson into a couple starting wings and a big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedTheClock Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 This is the least enviable franchise in the NBA. We have absolutely nothing to be excited about. We have literally no defensive players outside of Henson and Delly, both likely to be gone after this year anyways. We have 1,000 PG's that can't defend or distribute. We have ridiculous contracts that are darn near impossible to get rid of. We have an owner and a city no free agent will want to come play for. Our only hope is that we tank and get like 3-4 straight top 5 selections in the draft and hit on them all. Because as much as I don't hate Sexton/Garland, those aren't home runs. Those are role players on bleh teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair. We never had money. we’re going to have to do what every non contender does. Pay a number 2 guy and or injured (star) max money. That’s the only way we’re getting someone decent. someone like Gordon Hayward. Have to take a risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you hope you find that right guy who can continue to develop and changes the culture/dynamic of the team. Without stars via the draft though, it’s gonna be rough.

I still at times think back to the free agency we signed Larry Hughes after just missing out on Michael Redd, who decided to stick with The Bucks. God, Hughes was the worst fit with LeBron. Redd would have been an amazing fit. I'd love to see what could have been. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
