Latest rumor is cavs are going after cousins for nets pick & shumpert. If they can pull that off, that would be awesome.

no it would not. They don't need cousins. He would be a one year rental and they have TT who fits better with Lebron.

no it would not. They don't need cousins. He would be a one year rental and they have TT who fits better with Lebron.

Cousins would fit better w lebron imo (he can shoot and defend the wing better) and I don't mind a rental since I'd rather a championship and then sucky team then borderline playoff team going forward

cousins does not defend. They need a guy who crashes the offensive glass and can roll to the rim. TT can also switch in to wings. He just had the kardashian curse last year. If he gets rid of her he'll be fine. They do not need shooting out of that position

If they are getting rentals they are better off with PG

I'd prefer pg as well, but he'd only be available if okc doesn't work, the nets suck, and in December or whenever. I'd rather them get a rental superstar than use the pick.

the caves don't start playing until April so Even if they get PG in feb it's fine.

This is true. I assume Cavs management is going with the assumption they need to win this year or LeBron is for sure gone. So let them get all the one year rentals money can buy IMO

personally I think they know he's gone. They got IT who is basically a 1 year rental as they will not max him out. Lebron will be gone. You can flip love and start tanking/rebuilding with the Brooklyn pick (which I hate to break to all you cavs fans will NOT be a lottery pick this year)

btw where did you see this I am not seeing it anywhere

The nets pick is very valuable now as people are confident theyll do badly, and the upcoming draft is top-heavy. If they are not a bottom 5 team in December, it may be worth much less. If they can get a good deal now, I'd do that. Will also put less pressure on LBJ in the reg season.

If Cavs get Wade, aren't they waaay better than last year?

[ChaimMoskowitz]

Did you see him play last year?

[Barryg]

Did you see him play last year?

No, but he wasn't deep into playoffs last year, which is all that matters for the Cavs these days.

[EJB]

Did you see him play last year?

He's def a big improvement in a weak position for the cavs. Won't close the gap w warriors but perhaps if they flip their pick for a top player they can get over the hump

[ChaimMoskowitz]

He is old and slow. Only going to get worse.

But he's not one of their top options.

During the 4th Q in important games he would be, but if he takes it easy during season, I'm not so sure his age would matter so much. What's your opinion, if (big if) Wade, Rose and IT all healthy will LeBron, Love, TT, JR, Shump, Croder, Corver, Frye, etc. are they better than last year?

If IT is healthy, definitely. If he isn't, maybe

[ChaimMoskowitz]

A healthy Wade is not going to help. Who is he going to defend? Rose is your best hope.

LeBron, TT and Crowder too
