2017-2018 Boston Celtics: No Irving! No Hayward! No Brooklyn Pick!

[bee-eazy13]

Nothing seems Impossible in Todays NBA..

Its an open Secret that this propably is Lebrons wet Dream.. Play with Melo,Wade and Cp3 .. and then do it in Cle so nobody can hold it against him he left again... then help deliver CP3 and Melo their elusive Title.. This is propably as close as it gets to Lebrons Basketball related Dreams..

I really think Lebron would prefer do stay a Cavs for the Rest of his Career and getting his Friends would be the Icing on the Cake

At this point i think we should just go for it. Its the only sure way to keep Lebron.. and lets be honest here.. the next years after Lebron will suck anyway so whats wrong with just postpone that another 5+ years?

CP3
Wade
Lebron
Melo
A Great Rim Protector we traded Love for. Love does not work with this Team.

Even for the next 2-3 Years is a very strong Lineup
In this case all of them likely will be willing to take Paycuts so you can round out the Bench with nice Role Players too.

I dont know if that Team beats a healthy GSW but honestly it will propably have as good a shot as any other Team we can realistically assemble. And you cant devalue that our Chemistry would be propably off the Charts..

Not the most real scenario but hell why not^^

I hope the banana boat doesn't come to a realization until those guys are in their last year(s) as NBA players. Forming that team in the near future wouldn't beat the Warriors. I think Wade and Melo aren't good enough anymore to be starting players against GS. Let's hope LeBron sees that and has no intention of forming it at this stage of his career (and if he tries to soon, it will mean he's waiving the white flag on trying to win rings and just wants to have fun)

Can someone translate those lyrics?

Click on the link of CavaliersNation above the video^^

"N—– said they with you when they really not (really not)."

Can someone translate those lyrics?

Basically saying Kyrie crossed him.

 

[Bunko BruTIE]

More like Kyrie is a fraud and saying he loved playing with James and for Cleveland when the reality was he did/does not.

Actually that lineup is trash in today's NBA game no one is a consistent 3 point shooter. Melo at PF is laughable dudes a revolving door on defense that team makes it through the east then gets blown out by 20+ every game vs GS. If we create that team just to appease LBJ it shows how pathetic of an organization we are.

So you rather have no Lebron at all in 2018?

Also its not really acurate what you said.. CP3,Melo and Lebron all can hit Threes. No one is a Sniper but if you start a guy like JR and Bring Wade of the Bench it works too..
Wade and CP3 are still great defenders(No Joke especially Wade is still suprisingly good on defense!) and Melo can be decent if Motivated. Lebron will also play his ass off for this Team.

What is the alternative? Let Lebron walk? What kind of alternative is that? What type of plan is willingly be bad for the next Decade? We have no idea for how long Lebron is here.. the years after he leaves will be horrible regarless... so why not go All In?

If we cant get a PG13 a Butler or a AD we really are running out of alternatives. a Combination of Melo,CP3 and Wade may be the best we can muster.

Sure maybe a duo of Bledsoe and Jackson or something Simillar works out and Lebron stays and it becomes a great Team.. But in Case we cant even get that for Kyrie and Melo + Role Players would be the best we can do... why not try it?

What is there to lose? Lebron is at stake here..

If the money part works out with that package I would not mind either, the Cavs would still be the team to beat in the east... the chances of getting equal value for KI is slim to none thats just what happens when you trade a star in the nba...

It just takes one injury with one of the GSW core starter (not that I am wishing it) and the Cavs have a chance if they make the finals next season...

They just resigned Holiday I don't think they're going to trade him. They already said they're starting Rondo and Holiday together so they have no problem with a 2 PG backcourt. If we could get Cousins and a pick or two. Id say thats a success and gives us another trading chip.

Its not my dream Scenario by any means.. I mean if we lose Kyrie even an aging CP3 is something i'd want but Wade and Melo... Are at their ages just not Ideal Pieces against a GSW Team in their Primes.

You'd had to Bank on the Power of Chemistry and Sacrifice to make this Work. And this can work..

Still of course if we can get a AD,PG etc Caliber at any Point thats to be Preffered.

Its just a interesting thought because it is propably the only one that guarantees Lebron staying..

Some things are random and get read into too much.

Choosing that song, highlighting those 15 seconds of lyrics, and captioning the video with "heavy heart" is not random.

Is is possible it's about another person/situation in his life right now besides Kyrie? Sure. But it's not the song of the moment or summer jam. It was chosen and posted for a reason, aimed at someone and/or to speak on something.

If LeBron wants to leave let him there is no combination we can get to beat the Warriors LeBron got us a championship then KD ruined the NBA. Do what's best for the team if LeBron don't like it he can leave I'm tired of the drama anyways. And even if we get Melo he could find out he hates playing with LeBron (Bosh said he hated playing with Bron and apparently so does Kyrie) and we would have dealt Kyrie for a year at Melo and possibly not even a finals appearance cause Melo aint the answer. Cp3 ain't the answer has dude made it past the 2nd round? DWade aint the answer dude needs to retire. If Bledsoe (LeBrons buddy and fellow Rich Paul client) and Josh Jackson don't make him want to stay so be it can't bend over backwards to appease him when he's so fickle.

Especially when you delete it afterwards.

I would try to flip Love for Paul George and have some cheap three-headed monster at center like Golden State did. Wade would come off the bench.

 

[David.]

The really scary part is.. As close as Giannis is on offense at 22 to even down year Lebron(wich was still insane for a 22yo) he is on another Level as a Defender..

Giannis is like Lebron mixed with KG.. thats absolutly scary.

Ok we're going overboard now

 

[Bob_The_Cat]

Not sure if this is too much, but would love where the team would be following this deal.

Cavs Get:
Middleton
Maker
Delly
Brogdan

Bucks Get:
Kyrie
Shump
Cedi
Felder

Cavs Roster (after signing Rose):

PG: Rose, Delly, Calderon
SG: Middleton, Brogdan, Smith, Korver
SF: James, Green, Jefferson
PF: Love, Frye
C: TT, Maker

That team would be insanely deep and incredibly versatile. That team would give the Warriors fits. Probably unlikely, but that team is a great mix of youth, length, shooting, slashing, and experience. In theory that should be a much better defensive team as well.

And we would lose every game of the finals by 20+ cause for every 2 we made they would sink a 3... To beat GS you need snipers to match up. The Bannana Boat idea is the worst possible thing this franchise can do to itself trading a 25 year old Kyrie and 30 year old KLove who will age well cause his game isn't built on athetlic ability but skill... For dudes one step away from retirement is moronic idiotic and guaranteed to fail.
