“A lack of maturity and focus regarding basketball” have plagued Sam Dekker throughout his career, one league source says. Chance for a fresh start with the #Cavs now. Dekker is talented and young enough to turn it around.

What corny AC qoute do you expect soon? That's a triple Decker? When he hits a 3

Any similarities to Paul Pierce?

He is the anti Paul Pierce.

In fact, if you take a Negative of Paul Pierce, you get Sam Dekkar. He does everything Paul Pierce does well, except poorly.

Guaranteed.

3 white sf's = worst sf depth in entire NBA.

Wow!

He hit .167 from 3 last year, so at least we wont have to hear AC say that often. lol

Except that's not true... The sum total odds of those guys' draft positional odds to be an NBA playoff team's rotation player is no more than 20%...

Listen, I am a fan of all three moves, but let's not pretend the odds are more than they are.

Fair enough. I'm just happy they're taking chances on guys that have room to grow. These guys turn out to be duds, then move on to the next batch of young players with unfilled potential

This is the better highlight reel. Obviously he is playing for the baseline.

Pretty wide array of moves. This guy needs to keep it simple and just get out in transit with Sexton and Cedi. I do think this team can run if they want. Plenty deep and Lue can rotate guys in and out quickly. Kevin Love is better in an uptempo system making quick decisions and being the trailer for the 3.

Biggest thing I noticed is this guy's arms are little. He needs to get a lot stronger. Cedi did more in one season than Dekker has done his whole career. Sorta like Rodney. He has to get stronger. Maybe reports of him not taking his job seriously are true.

*Dekker is lobbed a pass in transition which he jams home*

Fred: “Wow, what a play!”

AC: “Yessir, Fred! The Upper Dekker from Sexton to Sam!”

Fred: “Err... Uhm... I apologize to all offended by my partner’s comments.”

AC: “That was one impressive Upper Dekker, Fred.”

Fred: (covering mic but still audible) “Austin, an upper decker is when you take a dump in the top of the toilet and let it fester.”

AC: “Oh, I’m sorry, Fred.”

*Sam Dekker fights for position in the post*

AC: “Big Dekk banging down low, Fred.”

*Fred stares into the distance, questioning his life decision*

And he is white.

We have the whitest team in the league. We are clearly trying to change the NBA. Cavs are taking the game to th 70s all the way...no 3pt shooters and no skin color.

Warriors got nothing on us.

Means Celtics fans are gonna be torn on who to root for when they play us.

The Jazz are on notice....

This would be close, but we all know AC calls Fred “Frit”

Smart role player, has a 8'10 standing reach to switch defensively. His outside shot never took the next step but he's a guy in constant motion. He'll get minutes at a position the Cavs are short on talent.

Heh...people are worried about that Atlanta pick..I say whatever aquisitions the Cavs make..don't worry about that pick..everything will play out.

Exactly. No risk here. If he pans out we meet qualifying offer and lock him out. If not. Cya. Like what Koby is doing. And we still got assets like hill korver and JR to acquire more young players or picks

What was the last NBA team to have 3 white small forwards? Was it the Tri-Cities Blackhawks or the St. Louis Bombers?

I didn't know the Cavs had any white SF's...I knew only of Lebron...
