Love the Bynum pickup by Cleveland

namix · 07-10-2013, 10:08 PM

$6 mil guaranteed -- shit, we were $6 million below the salary floor anyway...

literally free money type gamble -- pay-per-performance for the "potential" of a 2011-2012 Bynum coming back.

The hardest roles to fill are PG and center... If healthy, and it IS a BIG "if", the cavs now:
1. have a top 3 PG in Irving
2. have a (potentially) dominating center in Bynum
3. have a cast of dynamic, multi-position, young players
4. have one of the deepest benches of 'actual' talent (6 man runner-up for the PG spot, and likely our #1 pick this year coming off the bench, shit maybe Varjero coming off the bench too)
5. STILL have the financial flexibility, and now the talent, to make a compelling case for LBJ to come back to muh hood more permanently to give the Bath police officer that sits outside of his house 24-7 some company lol

2014, perfect Cavs world.... not saying it will happen, but just as naive to say it can't:
1. Top PG in irving
2. Top Center (shit bynum is better in the post and at free throws than dwight)
3. Top everything in lebron
4. 4-5 other first round picks under 28 yrs old

My hypothesis:
Lebron is a genius who understood that the only way he could get superstars to pair with him in Cleveland is by leaving it, so we sucked and built through the draft with lotto picks -- to return with some hardware and finally give himself a chance to win one here...

lol, what if?

PancakeBrah · 07-10-2013, 10:29 PM

lol @ PG being the hardest position to fill when it's the deepest position in the league.

brb their are only 3-5 2-guards worth a shit in the league
brb strong dropoff at the 3 after lbj, durant, anthony, and george
brb no true young power forwards of note.

never go full retard.

Philly · 07-10-2013, 10:37 PM

Bynum's the biggest sack of shit in the league.
Make sure you shut all the bowling alleys down in Cleveland.

2014 top PG ... Kyrie Irving? No chance

PG and center are the hardest to fill in terms of being specialty positions, wasnt talking about league depth --- though i think the same drop off exists at the 1 as you cited at the 3.

Pancake the basketball aficionado back at it haha

Spoken · 07-10-2013, 10:42 PM

I disagree I have javal McGee as the biggest sack of shit SRS

But Bynum just need to buckle down and endure the learning process an not rush to be a superstar...

Lebrun really going back to the cavs??

Hi...

It is the deepest but not too many can take over a game or hand over a game like a steph curry or rondo...
finding a point guard who can do that is hard...
the good pgs these days are often better suited as sgs...
youre right abt the 3 position...
these days dudes can play from 3 to 4 to 5...
that's the euro shit...
No reason to argue or call a person a retard...
Its all a matter of opinion...
if your observation was that great, why aren't u a gm?...

Bye...

I do agree that a lot of PG's in the league are just 2's who figured out early on the best way to always have the ball is to bring it up. Still, league depth does play into what position is hardest to fill. You can couch the argument however you like, I suppose.

If you want to be technical, the hardest positions to fill probably just goes in reverse order from the 5 to 1. Finding size and skill is harder the more height is required. I just refuse to accept that point guard is the second hardest position to fill. It's also the least directly correlated to winning a championship. Which was the last team to win the championship with their PG being their best player? The Pistons? That was team D. The last Spurs title?

Bynum will just get hurt mid-season so what does it matter?

and damn ya @Cashius

the cavs are going to have the wrong 50%-66.6% of canadian players on their roster come 2014, depending on whenever Nash retires lol

wish this year was as clear as the wiggins sweepstakes will be.

Philly · 07-10-2013, 11:05 PM

Yea sixers could be respectable again in a couple years.
I'll prolly cream on my own face if they manage to get Wiggins
