The Lebron Safari 2014

[theSTEREO.]

Stop. If we have Kyrie and Lebron on the same team, it doesnt matter what we have at the 4, 5 or 2. That said, lets wait and see how everything plays out.

Well sure, but this isn't a patience thread. This is a fantasy basketball, maybe it will but probably won't so let's mess around with the idea, thread.

That is why this was the first time i have come in this thread for months and plan on not coming back for a bit. A bit too fantasy basketball for me. I would welcome him back knowing he is the best player in basketball and I took my talents to Scottsdale, so i am not as mad as others for him leaving (hated the way he left though)......but there is just way too much ifs going on for my liking.

I think the reason why we drafted Dion instead of Harrison Barnes, whom knew Kyrie and were really great friends - is to make room for Lebron in 2014.

Just my opinion.

Because of one player? Let it go, that's idiotic. A real fan should want their to team to win games/championships. You don't have to like him as a person, but obviously you have to admit he's a hell of a player.

Why couldn't Barnes slide down to the 2 spot? Or LeBron at the 4, which he's run several times for the Heat due to their center problems.

Obviously your opinion, but, I just don't see it as a reason why the Cavs went with Waiters over Barnes.

This is silly. Chris Grant doesn't pick players in the draft because they're "friends with Kyrie or LeBron", he picks players because they'd best fit the team. There are numerous basketball reasons for picking Dion instead of Barnes for the Cavs.

In my opinion Chris Grant shouldn't be drafting people based on whether or not they are friends with Kyrie Irving. He should be drafting the guys he thinks project to be the best NBA players, and that is what he is doing.

I don't think there's any factual evidence to Grant drafting around the small forward position. For one, there's a very good chance we'll draft a small forward in this year's draft (perhaps Shabazz?). Further, LeBron can just as easily play power forward, or any other position for that matter. You could play the dude at center and just instruct the Cavs to run other teams off the court for entire games.

The fact is that Dion had a better statistical projection than Barnes and he also improved his sophomore season in college, whereas Barnes regressed. Dion can create for himself and others. Barnes can not. Dion has an explosive first step. Barnes does not. There are numerous reasons that could be given for why Waiters was not only a better prospect but was a better pick and fit for this team.

Nah, I think it had more to do with the fact that Harrison Barnes sucks.

I've found that most people who talk in big absolutes like this are the first ones to buy tickets to the season opener and a fresh, new jersey on Ebay when it goes down. But I'm sure you're different...

I got my very first tangible sign today from a person close to Lebron's camp.. And numerous connections to our team that Lebron is going to be seriously considering the possibility of returning to the Cavs after next season. Apparently has made his thoughts known, but was telling this guy so that he can get a feel for how the Cavs/Gilbert/fans would view that eventual possibility. Found it very interesting... Seems like he's attempting to have back door communications established.
