MistaBohmbastic Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Wow guys, I just had the chance to speak personally with Griff, what an incredibly nice dude, SO intelligent too (Obvs). I didn't wanna talk TOO much Cavs with him considering everything, but I did ask him about the draft: - He said there's no question that if Porter is on the board, Cavs are taking him, but, as many of you believe, Griff doesn't see him falling that far considering possible trade ups, etc... - Interesting tidbit, he thinks Porter would be so perfect for a LeBron Cavs squad, because Porter is a "complete douchebag," his words not mine, so LBJ would really whip him into shape. - He thinks the Cavs' second option should be Mo Bamba. He knows the kid personally, said he's extremely kindhearted and smart, plus...I mean...that length... - The other big point, how the Cavs feel about LBJ's future will have a big say in this draft pick. For example, if they opt for a productive offensive player like Trae Young (That was his specific example), they expect Bron to stay. However, if they opt for more upside, that will be a big tell in their lack of confidence regarding LBJ's future in CLE. Sadly, @LETSGOBROWNIES, when his show ended, he RAN to the bathroom before I could even think about hitting up the urinal. This will have to do. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude is a damn good playmaking PG. dude has some amazing passing ability. If Lebron really wants to playoff the ball more having two PGs next year in Young and Hill surely would accomplish that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexton is a way better 2 way PG imo and on top of that Trey's second half was horrible compared to the 1st half of the season and Sexton was very consistent, also imo. Sexton's only real down side is his 3 point shot and I think that will get better with time. I'm hoping for either Sexton, Porter, or Bamba, if we got any of those 3 players I'll be pretty darn happy.

Is he really a PG or more of a Rodney Stuckey undersized 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Houston was criminally underrated all year. The Warriors got the respect they deserved, but Houston is ridiculously good themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Kind of crazy, but Houston reminds me of the 2016 Warriors. Two elite guards and a big guy + solid role players who know their jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, another point, if the Rockets do win a title LBJ couldn’t really go and join them then imo, that would hurt his legacy iyam. If the Rockets win the west, that helps our chances of keeping him imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See I honestly think Young started to break down from really being the only threat for his offense. Sexton is a better defender but Young’s offense ability is so much better. He might be the best pure point guard. His adv stats are crazy To me it might be Young Porter and Momba for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young is my first option at PG, he’s be a legit shooter right away as well as capable of running the offense. Porter and Young are my top “realistic” targets, even if Porter isn’t super realistic.

FGK Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Geez. The Cavs are getting mugged in Boston with no calls. And yet I bet Boston fans will find a way to blame the refs if they lose. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonanza23 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Just got back from the watch party at the Q. What a freaking game. The atmosphere was electric and was the noisiest I’ve ever heard it. Sheesh it was a freaking scene! I have like 500 new friends all of a sudden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviously corrected it the second half. Couldn’t be happier watching the celts implode that 4th quarter. And I don’t usually complain about the refs but they were green with envy...errr favored the green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
