2016 Trades and Free Agency

[The Wizard of Moz]

Griffin's hands are probably on fire by now for how long he has been sitting on them

 

[col63onel]

Well come fill the Zaza role here you asshole

Zaza is their starting center, so we already have one of those

 

[NorthCoastBias]

I'd like for the Cavs to kick the tires on Langston Galloway as the combo guard to fill Delly's vacancy. He's only 24, shot 53% at the rim and 46.6% on corner threes last season (granted, the latter is a small sample size; only 60 corner threes taken in total). His defensive advanced stats seem to be decent. Guy also played in all 82 games for the Knicks last season. Just don't know if we can get him for the vet min or mMLE.

 

[Kal]

Take Stephenson off the list.. If we wanted him, we'd have used the TPE to get him and saved the MLE.

Cavs don't want him.

Josh Smith is garbage.
Oden? For real?
Ty Lawson is bad news.
Chalmers is garbage.
Why pay Cole when you still have matching rights on Delly and you haven't upgraded your wings?
Beasley is trash...

Maybe 9.5M$ was too much for Stephenson, Cole would be way cheaper than Delly and thats all left in the UFA pool without that much assets to trade...

TT starting at center for the entire season is less than ideal IMO.

Didn't Lue even say it wears on him? I think TT's best role is 6th man.

Somebody will pick him up for more than $3.5M... We're not getting him.

Cole would be way cheaper than Delly

Yeah, but he's cheaper for a reason. Swapping Delly for Cole makes us invariably worse in every respect.

and thats all left in the UFA pool without that much assets to trade...

Yeah, I know...

Regular season wise, yeah... But going into the playoffs, TT will start at C.

Well then either Frye is your starting 4 or Lebron starts at the 4

 

[The Wizard of Moz]

Well then either Frye is your starting 4 or Lebron starts at the 4

But LeBron hates playing the 4...

Just saying we could offer the same starting spot that the Warriors just filled if we wanted him bad enough. Our best rim protector is probably LBJ at this point

Yeah, I know...

Cavs need to at least find a body to replace Delly and Cole is a body lol (Mo isn't a solution I think)
As for Stephenson, I'd agree but the teams left with cap space, Philly, Denver, Milwaukee, Nets, don't want to mess up their young nucleus and Lance is a wildcard in that case! Bulls could do it though for a one year project.
Nene or Desmond would be great I think to replace Mozgov...after that snifff
Cedi + Tyler Ennis (if S&T for Delly) + a second could be tried for Covington maybe (just trying to find something )

1 year 2.9 mil eh.

 

[Benedict_Boozer]

Starting role in Houston, here he would have been a backup.

Still sucks. There is not much left even worth signing at this point.
