I think getting him in the first place was a bad move. I have heard some say that we would not have won a championship without him but that is highly debatable.

Gilbert made a mistake. He thought without lebron love would put up big numbers and someone would want him. We’d be way over the cap anyway so his salary wouldn’t have mattered. But then love had about 70 more injuries and a bad attitude last year. So in retrospect it was a bad move. Not terrible at the time. If I remember correctly I thought we had to trade him with a 1st because we gave him that nice extension. When his deal was expiring they shouldve shipped him out. but they gave him that extension and made him virtually impossible to trade.

As soon as love went out with foul trouble and RJ came in to play small ball 4 we played a lot smoother. I wouldn’t have kept Wiggins but love was just a bad fit with his terrible defense and the force feeding him terrible post possessions that got blocked all the time.

I think love had a player option that teams were worried that he’d pick up. That’s why we would have had to add a 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#32 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I believe Altman is on his way out. Resigning Love, trading5picks and $ for Porter, poor trade with Irving, whiffing on Garland and Windler, Drummond fiasco, releasing Porter, signing Beulein as coach, and inability to build a roster. The two solid decisions are Okoro and Allen trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was so polished in college. Really thought he’d be something great. Embiids injury scared me even back then. I’m not sure we would have ever saw healthy embiid and lebron together. Lebron wouldn’t have the patience to wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buno67 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Joe Vardon did not have good things to say about the Cavs today on 92.3. saying Collin is turning into a shot chucker and it’s starting to annoy other players. Talking about Okuru being absolutely lost out there. didn’t have great things to say about Kolby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Koby has always just been Gilbert’s puppet. He might make some good trades but his drafting and team building is terrible. Tons of bigs and small guards. The opposite of today’s game.

Vardon was saying that even guys on other teams know it. even said he has heard trash talk where the opponents tells the guy he is covering "We both know Collin aint passing the ball' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
