Open Discussion (Cavs + related issues)

So then we'll have IT, Rose, Calderon, and Bledsoe?

Doesn't help us, and it's giving up a first round pick.

How about Bledsoe and Len for Shump, Frye, Calderon and out 1st?

If Lue isn't going to trust a rookie to guard guys like Vucivic who is going to be a handful for Love, why not get Len? And getting rid of Shump + Calderon for Bledsoe would be icing. It would have to wait until December 23rd because Len can't get traded until then though... At which point IT will probably be back...

I don't think we should trade any real assets for someone we won't need after IT returns. And I don't think Lue is any more likely to play Len than Zizic. He has a vision of fast-paced small ball, and just doesn't want to play a traditional center period.

I think he's wrong to stay fixed on that vision, but it's who he is.

Way too much panic around here.

LBJ and Love look fine, and LBJ is not in top shape. Rose has looked competent and should continue to grow in the offense- the ankle isnt a concern.
Wade will take awhile to find his place- I do support a move to the bench for him.
Green has been fine IMO, and Crowder is a great piece.
Once IT gets into the picture, it will take until after the break for them all to mesh. IF they feel they need another piece, They'll go get it.

This video reminds me of Lue... Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should...

No way the Suns trade a near All Star and a 24 year old who average 10 and 7 in just 23 minutes per game for that junk. Maybe Bledsoe for the Cavs 1st, Shump and Frye and that is still pushing it (I won't include or count Calderon because he doesn't count as an NBA player). But throw in Len and that becomes laughable.

We’re not getting Len. We’d be lucky to be able to get EB.

Unless a team is already tanking for the next multiple seasons... Which I'm pretty sure they are. And Len is on a one year contract where they will likely have to pay him a ton next season plus they'd be getting rid of a guy who doesn't want to be there. For Shump, a pick and an expiring contract. It's not great, but it would force their hand at least for Bledsoe... I'm sure they could get better but if he Melo or Kyrie's the situation, you never know.

This dude just won’t learn. Maybe Calderon will come to him and suggest he doesn’t play.

At this moment you have to play him.You don't want Lebron taxing that ankle by handling PG duties more than he should.
I don't want the Califlower on this team but he is..so use him.
And I find it real interesting that when the Irving trade was still in the works, many posters in here wanted Bledsoe..now people don't.

 

[FrontPageNews]

We should be all over bledsoe. He may be an overrated defender but he’s still good for a PG. IT rose and Calderon are horrible and unreliable. Bleadsoe may be the only one who can play against the warriors without being a liability.

Calderon will carry his team to victory on Tuesday.

I would still want Bledsoe but the question becomes how we use all 3 PGs when IT is back. We have alot of depth at both guard positions. If I were the front office I would entertain what a IT for Bledsoe trade would look like. Bledsoe fits better for the playoffs than IT especially on defense.

 

[theSwayze]

Wade wants to play off bench, JR to start.

 

[MirORich]

So with Rose out, IT out, Wade to the bench, and JR back in the starting lineup just exactly who should be starting for the next two games instead of Calderon.

Goodbye Calderon...
