2015 Offseason Thread

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

Ok so your concerned with a guy who's been healthy the past 5 straight years because he's had longer seasons. Yet you're not as concerned about a guy who can never make it fully through the regular season? A kid snake bit with injuries? (While I agree he is but) wtf has Dwayne Wade been since 2011?....yeah Cavs fans should be the ones worried Jesus lol

Dude...calm down. I absolutely know Wade is never going to give us 82 plus a post season. I am well aware of Wades health issues. Yet...yet he has 3 titles and 2 with Lebron and Bosh. Played great in 2011 gutted through 2012 and played great again in 2013. He is not the same player he once was no question.

Yes, as a Cav's fan you should be concerned when your franchise player (which Wade is no longer being viewed as down here now with the Dragic acquisition, Bosh and Whiteside and now a potential star in Winslow in tow) has played in 5 straight Finals. Lebron plays full tilt. He is tired no question. Things change (your body) once you get to 30....Lebron is now 30. He better pace himself going forward. He is going to start breaking down sooner not later. He needs Kyrie to be that guy. They need to watch Lebrons minutes next season big time if they want him to last. But Kyrie can't be that 35-38 minute a night guy for 82 when he himself keeps breaking down at his tender age of 23.

Lebron is the best. But even he is mortal.

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

I think it's unfair to say that the Cavs failed. I mean if youre going to follow the "big three" model and 2 of those three guys are out, you arent going to win. The same result would have happened in Miami.

Agreed. I just think Lebron saw a window of opportunity to get out of Miami to go home which I respect whole hardheartedly. But I think he mis-calculated how Irving and Love will fit right in as his new wing men over Bosh and Wade.

Bosh and Wade were veterans in their prime when they came together. Kyrie has been in the infirmary every year, Love has had his injury issues and to me was an unproven guy. Lebron took a chance and I think it's not going to work out like he thought.

Time will tell.

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

Kyrie played 70 games the past 2 regular seasons and Dwayne Wade played 50 in 2014 and then 60 in 2015. Don't call out Kyrie's durability and act like the dudes an I jury machine and the. Just reference Dwade as (oh we can just give him a little bit more rest) and he will be fine. Hell they gave him rest all thought the 2012-2013 season and last season and he still was hurt.

Please for the love of God this is just BSPN at work. I honestly don't know who has the worst ownership and management the 76ers, Hornets, or the Kings. This offseason the Kings and Hornets are competing hard for that spot. I can't believe they passed on 6 picks for Frank Kaminksy of all freaking people. I mean we all see how good Cody Zeller turned out but ay Kaminksy can shoot better and can guard guards effectively apparently?m

No chance of a bust right?

Wade played in all 4 post seasons and they won 2 titles. Check back with me when the Cavs win one.

I will leave it at that.

Guess who else was there?

Check back when he wins another one without LeBron.

It's been one year? And they were missing two stars. Last time I checked year one you guys had health and lost. Oh and btw at least cavs fans didn't leave early in game 6.

I think the probability of both of them not winning another title is high.

As the years go by after LeBron And Wade retire people are going to realize just how special that Miami team really was after all.

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

Who of course this morning wrote the exact opposite of what Isola is reporting...



http://nypost.com/2015/06/25/knicks-...ith-no-4-pick/

Like 23 said, I don't believe Melo was upset, or if he was, he definitely didn't start telling people that would report it to those buffoons.

I also don't think he was ecstatic.

I think he realizes it's the draft and everyone is a project. Plus, he knew the top three were going to be gone. If he was upset, maybe he was like the rest of us Knicks fans who cursed the television screen when Philly took Okafor.

But they are both going to be in the ECF next year?

I'd say any team lead by LeBron has a greater chance than any team relying on Dwyane Wade at this stage in their careers. Obviously this season proved that pretty convincingly.

He went there before there was even a thought of Love being there though. He didn't just decide to pick one "big 3" over another like you keep insinuating,

This thread went from 0 to 175 outta nowhere man lol. This is like the OS bball version of the NBA injury discussion. Do we have an influx of overly confident, bordering irrational fans this year or have we always had this just not as noticeable?

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

Just saw that Brook opted out. I could see him signing with the Lakers. Is he from Cali or did he just go to Stanford?

He isn't going anywhere. This is the same person that WANTED to stay here even while we were in Jersey going thru 100 different coaches in his first 7 years and still wanted to stay here after the team has privately AND publicly tried to get rid of him.

Worst case scenario for us is that we overpay because really, what's the alternative to letting him walk? For all his rebounding flaws(which are legit BTW)he's still way too valuable to us than he would be any other team.

He basically carried us into the playoffs over the last 2-3 months of the season while the "Face of the Franchise" was either dealing with injury after injury or more "confidence issues".
