Cedi Osman Goodbye & Good Luck

[czvo]

One of the worst posts I've ever seen, and with this year going how it has that is saying something.


Fringe NBA player? You're full of shit. Cedi has had an amazing rookie year for a draft and stash rookie on a title contender. He's a plus defender already and can shoot the 3.
There are other GM's around the league that would be fucking ecstatic to get their hands on Cedi and have control over him for basically the next 5+ years.

I'll throw this little tidbit out on the main board for fun just to show you how much buzz Cedi is getting around the league: One very prominent team with a history of developing young European guys is absolutely in love with him and have high ranking execs that would take him over Josh Jackson right now. They had Cedi pegged as a top 12 and top 8 pick if he were in the 2016 or 2017 drafts, respectively and they believe he has even outperformed what they had expected with those projections in mind.

Forget the fringe NBA comment, being upset by this shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the purpose of Twitter (provided it's not a joke post) for a guy like Cedi. It's all about self-promotion.

I respect your post . I agree Cedi has had a nice year without much competition at all. Most anyone would have to admit Cedi’s increased role had more to do with the complete suckatud and injuries of other players. The only 2 players who were worth a damn pre ASB were Love and LeBron . Zero production at pg . Sg a black hole with Smith at the helm . Other than Love, our bigs played for shit with some spotty production from Frye and Green . Korver chipped in as much as expected for a guy 36 years old . I miss anyone ? Crowder ? Wade ?

Post trade the writing was on the wall . Cedi would start a few games until the new guys caught on and his minutes would be reduced to about nothing come playoff time . To my eye , he still looks very uncomfortable playing with his American teammates and jellying within a unit . Unless LeBron bolts and the team goes full rebuild , he would be better off on a team like the Spurs or Jazz. LeBron stays , another playmaker will be added further reducing his role .

Well I think you have to look at two things.


1. The team gave him part of the MLE over signing a vet that LBJ recruited personally. Says a lot of how much we think of Cedi that we committed to him like that when we could have stashed him one more year.

2. He's obv. earned the respect of the vets on the team through his hard nosed work ethic and energy in training camp/practice. He injured LBJ because he refsued to not compete against him in practice. Brons worst ankle sprain of his career. Thats kinda how Delly came up too, checking tf out of Kyrie in practice to the point of altercations.

3. Just because we wanted to play the vets over the Euro rookie doesn't mean Cedi didn't deserve minutes before...and the main thing is that once he got them, he instantly produced at a high level for a guy in his situation.

4. His skillset has flashed real talent beyond 3&D. He has a handle, he is a good decision maker when he calms down, he is smart, he knows how to play pick and roll, he's a demon in transition. That only serves to greatly increase the value of his prospect profile.

I want to see more Cedi + Zizic and see what kind of defensive lineups they can use

I'm not sure about Osman tbh, I was initially excited about him but I don't see how he projects to be a SF in the NBA.
He was weak compared to the european SFs and he was posted quite often with success, He is a good perimeter defender but he needs to bulk up.
As for his offense he keeps improving his shot and he runs the floor like a gazelle but i'm not sure how his finishing translates to the nba.

Do you project him to be a SG for the Cavs early on?

Tbh, I'd like the Cavs to try to snag Richaun Holmes from the 76ers somehow, I wanted the Cavs to draft him but they chose Christmas and I see an immediate fit with this Cavs team and if they can snag him for Cedi I think you do the deal?
What do you think?
I just don't any many quality big man in this years draft where the Cavaliers pick and I see some decent wings/forwards.

Wait , I thought Cedi was your boy ?

Lol wtf...

If you are already grave digging post from more than a year ago why don't you post every one of my posts about Cedi... prior to that post, during the Eurobasket and after. Don't be lazy.

Similar concerns surface with most prospects. Most of them are still true, but I'm Not at all concerned by them anymore and was all in on him during the Eurobasket. Post them please if you bothered to go that deep.

What are you trying tying to show...this is senseless. And I can prove you wrong in a sec, not that I need to.

I’m sorry, I must have misclicked a page when I opened this thread . I thought this was a recent post . Anyhow, your boy is at it again posting selfies on Twitter. I hope one day he moves past this teenager type of mentality.

Just block him man. No more hassle.

Do you have him blocked? It seems like he is engaging in a similar fashion with other members as well. I like to be notified when bullshit things that are similar to this happen you know...

Yea man, happened last night. Someone else reminded me of the ignore feature and I thought "there's a bright idea".

Everyone knows about him, you don't need to defend yourself or get involved. And cutting stuff out that will irritate you all day long will give you back your day.

Positing here and not privately because the ignore feature will take you a long way and people should incorporate it more.
