The catch 22 cavaliers

This is also still ringing true. This is the Cavs team moving forward. They can trade one of the core 4 to improve. But trading garland or Allen will be very hard. The trades that do work won’t necessarily improve the team. They can either hit the reset button. Or continue to run it back.

I’ve been thinking about this trade for almost a full year now. My gut told me at the time it was a mistake. Starting to feel that way again with Hunter recent stretch. Caris was really good at setting up the bigs and initiating offense Hunter is a bad passer rebounder and off ball defender

Cavs would get a huge haul for him Could still keep Mobley Allen garland To me that is the smartest way out Do they do this? Probably not Don will be 30 next year. Once he loses even half a step he’s a completely different player. I really hope the front office is smart enough to realize this

The Cavs were 56-11 at the time garland sprained his toe last year They are 21-27 since officially sounding alarm bells in Cleveland Fans are gonna hate this but I’m imagining a scenario where Cleveland’s forced to run it back again Not because they want to but because of the new rules

The only trade giannis trades i see shifting the title odds are any that involve the knicks or hawks A spurs trade would make them a better title bet NEXT YEAR imo. Not this year. Think they would need an offseason to iron out the bench. Who knows tho. Maybe wemby and giannis is good enough now

Cavs really might have something in Tomlin. His energy translating against a team like the rockets and Durant will likely earn him a contract.

I think people are going to be slow to come around to this opinion but this is where I’m at thus far into the year #nbadraft #2026nbadraft #nba #collegebasketball

I’ve seen enough thus far to put Caleb Wilson ahead of AJ Dybantsa I think Is there much difference between their size and athleticism? No AJ is a better self creator. But that’s about it. I think Caleb is more advanced in defense and the passing feel has been better then AJ

I think the rockets have a real chance at the title this year I really fear they might be the next okc level team They probably would have been this year if not for Fred getting hurt Reed having a 5 bpm is INSANE

The state of the Cavs is very concerning Even with the injuries they have they shouldn’t be struggling to get a rhythm with a no Ja grizzlies Don needs to understand with no Darius he HAS to be a playmaker

I think there is a very good chance Trae young signs for significantly less than his value The second apron is going to create this until the punt the rules Teams are going to be forced to decide on their cores and punt the rest I really do not like this. It feels like forced parity.

Encouraging data especially given the injuries which is why I’m not quite panicking especially since it’s November buuuut Garlands health is now more essential then ever. If he has to be shut down until February then so be it.

Early season Cavs thoughts Jaylon and Sam playing this well is huge! We have 2 players who can drive the ball which isn’t good at all and the main reason I’m very worried about their future Mobley largely looks the same as last year to me. Still would like to see more usage!

Listen to this

If David Stern rose from the dead and saw what the NBA is today i think it would RE-KILL him

The knicks have a center and guard with defensive issues Why then is everyone picking the knicks over cavs? Cavs in theory are the perfect team to exploit this. Cle also won regular season series last year 4-0 (wasn’t really close) Think folks need to think a little more critically imo

Might fuck around and go alchemist mode again for the winter time

Wake me up when it’s April Want the nba playoffs to start so bad

Again it’s different because NY will look way different offensively this year but I’m sorry i really like the match up for Cleveland now People pointing to 2023 need to use glasses to understand that was 3 years ago Cedi Osman was a key part of our rotation lmao

Very happy to see most of the national media is not picking the cavs Knicks have MB coaching now so it’ll look different but based on the matchups from last year idk why people are coming so quick to that conclusion The one game NY almost beat us don sat out and we trailed the whole game

Interested to see okoro with a full year of 25 plus minutes again Still think there’s a lot more to his game then people think

been mentally done with the browns for about a year. They have no chance at competing until the entire thing is torn down and replaced. HOWEVER The draft class gives me a sliver of hope. A sliver. Hope they go the ensemble route of building instead of crossing your fingers a qb hits

Ah yes another sign that we’re doing great!

COME ON GUARDS

COME ON GUARDS

NBA analysts are consistently very stupid when it comes to evaluating the human element of teams and players The idea Indiana is just gonna fall off a cliff is hilarious to me

Nice pick up for the cavs Interested to see how much TB actually plays for them this year See Larry occupying most of his theoretical minutes

Houston was my pick for the nba title next year before the fvv news Still really love the team but that’s a lot to ask of Reed Shepeherd Definitely see them in any point guard trade rumors now

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

America got worse today. No matter what you think about the guy, the tensions in America just escalated and that makes us all less safe.

A big wow

Women, sports, politics, and the Joe Rogan podcast make smart men stupid

Going to continue to buy nets future stock

Nah fuck this guy idc He’ll be alive and well when Alcaraz fucks his ass up

Something I’ve been stewing on post the kawhi fall out: If Shams or Woj knew this was going on why did they not report it? The no duh answer is to keep relationships. But something about that doesn’t sit right with me. I can’t put my finger on it yet.

The nets front office got flamed this off season for no reason imo They are clearly just tanking tanking And they are smart to do this! 2026 has 3 potential number 1 options Odds are one of the first rounders this year will hit as well

Really not worried about Strus’s injury He missed a lot of time last year due to injury as well Don’t by the time frame think it’s pretty likely late January early February is when he gets back I’m very high on Jaylon Tyson and think there’s a small chance he ends up being our full time 3

Reading the ageless brain by dale bredesen Everyone needs to moderate their sugar intake Soda, cakes, treats should be viewed the same way as cigarettes are in the modern world Sooner you shift your mindset that way the sooner your overall health will get I’m walking evidence

Man...it's so much worse than the article describes. If you don't read @edzitron.com, you should start. www.wheresyoured.at/ai-is-a-mone...

The online world and the real world has never felt more different Feels like everyone knows fucked shit is going on 24/7/365 but no one talks about it everyone’s afraid to speak up and if you do the common response you get is to shut up and bury your head in sand like everyone else

The sooner the American public treats sugar the same way they do tobacco and alcohol the healthier we will all be Food dyes, processed this and that, and the general food supply are concerns. Most of this boils down to educating everyone about how dangerous constant sugar consumption is (cont.)

I wish norm Macdonald was alive still

My gut tells me Craig porter jr is a lot better then people realize Starting to get excited to see what he can do with no garland for couple months

No one in sports is more wrong about anything then rusillo on college football playoff and realignment It’s made fans of non powers bigger fans I’ve seen it in real life with my own eyes Bro is so fucking mad the sec isn’t the sec anymore it’s hiiiilarious

The quote of the year is Sam Altman being dead serious saying that he and his engineers will ask their theoretical agi how to become profitable How the am i supposed to trust someone with that line of thinking? I’m shocked that quote didn’t generate more rage It didn’t seem like a joke to me!!!

The more i read and inform myself about the power needed for ai the more I’m convinced OpenAI hasn’t a clue of what they’re doing I kinda think that company is going to implode at some point or another They will likely have to tie themselves to china to make their ambitions a reality

The world isn’t ready for spider shrek weekend

Asked gpt 5 who’s their favorite dark horse for the 2026 nba title. Told me the New Orleans due and listed their strong supporting cast as a reason. Citing Brandon Ingram and Cj McCollum. Who of course, are not on the pels anymore Starting to think AI is a giant fucking scam

Wish he was still on the guards fr :/
