Mike Dunleavy Duck Hunt

[David.]

Defense is pretty bad anecdotally

 

[Kizzle]

Can we stop acting like Delly was a god? We let him walk because he wasn't worth the money compared to JR

Flat out. On the Cavs he wasn't worth 38 million over 4 years. Definitely worth 20 mil over 4 years but Milwaukee Came in and made a great deal and got him so sorry


I do miss him on the team but if Andy and Big Z can leave then I'm not sad about anybody else leaving. Dunleavy has played very well. He's shooting 33% from 3 which isn't amazing but it's not bad either.

Thank you. A+ post.

I miss him a lot, and his play filled a lot of holes for us...

BUT not for what he's getting paid now.

Would like to get Dunleavy some more opportunities. Not just spot up threes. Hes a good cutter and I think so remember him having a good stroke from the mid range off screens. Would like to incorporate that.

Now, it is harder for us to do that unless LBJ is on the floor because we don't have a real backup PG for now, but something to look forward to. At the very least dude doesn't look too old.and doesn't look "done". This year won't be where he falls off the cliff due to age.

I think one thing we have to remember is exactly what RJ did last season... looked average until playoffs then his BB IQ really showed up. Especially when things slowed down. having battle hardened vets is important.

The word cloud of this thread would have more mentions of a certain Bucks PG then Dunleavy.

Mike's got to start hitting some of those wide open looks he's getting. JR sort of broke the curse of Cleveland where people's jumpers go to die (here's looking at you Donyell, Wesley, Hughes, etc.) and I'd hate for it to return

Could be a case of being too wide open. He will get used to those more and settle in.

Forget trading away McRae, if you can find somebody to take Mo off our hands and only require Dunleavy as a sweetener you do it.

 

[CHIMOCHIS]

Mike dunleavy better not turn into mike miller in this motherfucka

Dude, your trade ideas sometimes...lol

Dunleavy is going to be FAR more important in the postseason than he is right now. Throwing him in as sweetener would be just dumb.

I think we might need to change this thread title to Mike Dunleavy dodo hunt until he starts to find a groove

I'd part with the 36-year old with back problems over the guy 10 years younger with a high offensive ceiling.

We need to to acknowledge the cold hard truth that we're going to have to go all in on developing a player some time or other. McRae has shown a lot of promise in spurts. I think he serves a greater need going forward than a guy who is ancient by NBA standards.

You love selling low and buying high, don't you.

And no, we don't need to go all in on anything at this point.

We need to be patient and see what we have.

That's ironic not to mention hypocritical from the guy who keeps talking about trading Shumpert NOW, aka the only person we have aside from our soon-to-be 32-year old superstar capable of defending the perimeter.

It's not hypocritical. In fact, it follows the EXACT same logic.

Shumpert's value is at it's PEAK right now because he is HEALTHY. Therefore, trading him NOW (between now and the trade deadline), is selling HIGH.

Waiting to trade him once he's injured, like many people were saying this summer, is stupid. That is selling LOW.

Selling low gets you little to nothing in return. Selling high will net you an asset that you can use.

Understand now?

You haven't been around here long enough to remember how EVERY SINGLE SEASON we would have these debates about Anderson Verajao. Every time he got healthy, people would say "we can't trade him because his value is high and he's so good." And almost every year, he would get injured and be worthless.

Shumpert is frighteningly close to the same situation.
