Why do all these people at CF want all these old players?

[BigErieCavsFan]

so why did the cavs look at him last year?

the only people who would be concerned about signing a veteran player who can still perform at a good price would be those with the agenda of wanting to see the cavs with the worst record possible. to get a higher pick.

From what I understood the cavs didnt make an offer to mcgrady last year because of concerns about his health. not his mental health.

so your saying Irving would be better served learning how to pass the ball to the right spots surrounded by guys with hardly any NBA experience.

You think Bird didnt benefit from having a rookie season surrounded by seasoned quality players?

whats nonsense is saying a guy just because he has been an all star in the past wont come to play in cleveland or that the Cavs wont target the exact kind of player they stated themselves they were looking at. not everyone roster transactions needs to be for the long term.

As much I agree with you about not being on board to suck next year for a better pick and always kind of liking TMac, I always loved Baron too (I really wish Silas had his wish many years ago to get him here). I think between Baron and Byron we will have enough veteran influence with the right attributes to mentor Irving. Plus, we still have AJ and Andy to help with basic knowledge of the correct attitude that should be learned. I just don't see TMac as a real help this year...

as i said on another thread. If the cavs don't get a good line on some of the guys who might see a 3-5 million salary via free agency at the 2 or 3. Mcgrady would be a good near vet min acquisition and would be far more beneficial to the team even if just playing 15-20 minutes a game and ion the practice court than Graham or manny harris. I also dont see the point in singing a mediocre journeyman who has always been mediocre or a clueless young guy with a limited ceiling.

because after you get past 4-6 guys. most who are restricted free agents at the 2. thats all you have left. while I respect the guys saying they dont believe he would fit or work well with Scott. the ones who call the mere mention of it as nonsense or subject to ridicule are just full of themselves or idiots themselves

I thought these stupid T-Mac stories would go away when we banned Heath.

 

[David]

I'm down for singing Bill Walton.

We can always sign T-Mac to mentor our younger players on how to get hurt and collect paychecks on the bench.

Stories? I dont see why people are getting in such an uproar about a guy who if signed probably wouldnt play more than than 20 minutes a game

Mcgrady is a free agent.. Fact. He doesnt cost much .. fact.

now theres multiple reasons why he would be abonus for the team

a. Capable team defender
b. good ball handler
c decent passer
D. A guy the young players will respect
E. low cost.

compared to the reason he would not make a good sign
Stupid Stories
Nonsense
the mere mention deserves ridicule.

This is a new season. if he was debated before .. its not very relavent. this is a different team with different needs. Mcgrady happens to fit within those needs.

The whole Detroit mutiny thing was something brought on by Hamilton and prince

Mcgrady was thrust into a dysfunctional environment last year that had to do with the pistons being the only team willing o take a chance on him.

He definately not my first choice but if he was eventually signed it would have its merits

 

[Selby]

We could just sign Jawad back and we will go back to winning games just like that.

"I really don't see how, maybe I'm wrong on this. I don't just see how going hard in practice is going to take my talent to another level. I just don't see that… As far as the team jelling and practicing like that, yeah that's how you make your team better. I'm saying me personally, I just didn't see how me practicing hard was going to take my talent to another level. I always felt like working on my individual skills was taking my talent to another level… Now when I say I wasn't a great practice player, it's not like I sat out of practice. I was participating. I always participated."

That quote tells you exactly why you don't want a team full of young players being around Tracy McGrady.

Are you going to do a duet together?

 

[KIrving15]

Why did he sign with the Pistons?

Practice? Is he talking about practice?

 

[BuddyCowley]

It doesn't matter how many MPG McGrady could give the Cavaliers.

What matters is how many weeks he'd be able to contribute those minutes until he gets hurt, again.

 

[Phills14]

McGrady would be great for the Cavs next season. The guy has never won a playoff series so he's exactly the type of loser we need to help the team rally behind so we can end up with the #1 pick next year.

McGrady :thumbdown

 

[The Voice]

He can teach him how to ride a motorcycle.

We already hired Kellen Winslow for that.

We can hire David Wesley to drive the pace car.

Mcgrady would actually be a good acquisition. it would give the cavs an experienced veteran who can contribution 18-25 minutes a game.

Cavs are not rebuilding they are building the difference is theres nothing to tear down at this point.

Irving Casspi,THompson, Gee and Samuels would benefit from the acquisition of another experienced Veteran.

Scott has defensive and offensive shemes to run. Veteran players adapt better and can help ease the learning curve.

also Grant himself has mentioned taking on a veteran free agent so such suggestions arent entirely unreasonable.

Lmao. You really just said that the Cavs are not rebuilding? Wow!

Let's just face it, the Cavs are rebuilding. That's been clearly shown through out the trades we've make.

We are in rebuilding mode. And will be for another 1 to 2 years maybe.
