2024 NBA Season

[Hatuferu]

Would rather see them try and trade for Butler and Hayward.

Don't like Griffin for this team much at all actually.

Smart, 17 Nets pick, filler for Butler.

Jaylen Brown, future first, young player, filler for Hayward.

That way the have IT and Butler on great contracts. Can max Hayward. And they keep Bradley/Crowder...which are two guys absolutely essential to beating the Warriors/Cavs.

This is about winning the title...that team is better suited to win than adding a guy like Blake imo.

IT/Avery/Butler/Hayward/Crowder/Horford...

That is the makings of a squad to beat the Warriors imo. I like Rozier as well.

Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Andre Igoudala, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green.

That squad aint beating the Warriors lol

the warriors got rid of all their depth. They got rid of 4 key guys in their run.
Weird to see a team that breaks the record for best regular season ever, then
have 3 shots to win the finals and instead of just keeping the team together they
sold the farm to get 1 guy who also isnt physical. We may look back at the warriors
and wonder why they broke up a team that dominated for one guy.

True, lock them up in tight defense around the perimeter and they'll struggle. They collapsed in the finals because they lost Bogut, now they lost more of the key defense guys. Even with Iggy and Green, IMO they'll have a hard time defending.

But Durant is Durant. He's probably worth the trade. Let's just hope he doesn't end up like Kevin Love that lost the scoring numbers when he went to the Cavs.

For their superstar addition? Well GSW for this season is the most difficult team to defeat since the roosters add to their team are very talented in terms of defense and offense, and really i think for those trade GSW make them self to be reliable to get back on finals and get fruitfull revenge against Cavs and im pretty sure that cavs for that moment well get hard time to defend the outside shooters of GSW aswell as the inside guys.

You are absolutely right, with durant on board any team will be having a difficulty in beating the warriors, I think they can beat their previous record as they are more dangerous now offensively. Durant will be more motivated this time as it is his best chance to win the championship.

Durant is the almost the same skills as lebron and durant is good defender for lebron james so they will have no problem anymore to defend lebron, james as warriors will be taking the championship again. Easy!

[dukeneptun]

Iguodala's statement is ridiculous. They beat OKC Thunder from 1-3 to 4-3 but we remember Thunder choked real hard. Now they lost 1-3 to 4-3 to Cavs they are butthurt and they got Kevin Durant he can talk freely. If Warriors won the championship he couldn't said all of these.

[mtnsaa]

Will Kyrie Irving win MVP this Season 2016-17 ?
He's only 24 and is obviously really an entertaining player to watch but can he have enough Impact on a team lets say without Lebron to win MVP?

I thought kyrie Irving should of won finals mvp. I know james had an insane series but kyrie kept them in games and hit the big shots to win. He single handedly won a couple
of the games when coming back from 3-1. I dont think kyrie has a shot at mvp until james retires lol. I cant see them giving mvp to anyone that is playing along side the best in the game.

That's crazy man, Kyrie was a beast but Lebron led all stats in the finals! It's insane! Irving played great and he's always clutch (Mr. Fourth Quarter) but the title of MVP means Lebron, and the decision to give the regular season title to Curry was ridiculous (and unanimous...). MVPs are players that instantly make a team a contender. Lebron is the example of that, like Shaq and Jordan in the past, complete dominant beasts in the game of basketball. Lebron has been the MVP all seasons since he is playing in the league, that's the truth.

Curry, Nash, Rose, those type of past MPVs are great players and scorers, but do you really think Irving or Curry could've lead the Cavs to its first NBA title?

[shintosai]

i also agree for irving to get the mvp last finals we all know that lebron did better but hitting all the big shots and keeping your team to bounceback and win that's the caliber irving have and in fairness to lebron i think since that he's already have many mvp he should share the trophy to irving, if we remember the game irving hits the important 3 pointer  and win that game. hahaha just saying guys.

Fame will beat performance for sure, lebron was actually not really have a significant difference of performance with irving for the last final game however due to lebron's fame , people start to say that lebron was actually the man that made that happened however in fact irving played a crucial role as well and imo better than lebron

Nope lebron is much better on durant in terms of defensive stats as you can see back those miami heat vs OKC championship lebron is eating durant at the hardcourt aand durant cannot do nothing against lebron when he driving towards the basket,

But for todays durant are belong to GSW it well be different story against them now and truly we can really say that durantd addition on GSW can make them unbeatable on offensive side and also west addition cam contribute to defensive category.

Durant will improve much with the warriors because they play as a team and they have a lot of back up good players, in the coming playoffs durant does not really need to guard lebron that much because they have someone who can do the job.

In terms of offense, almost all players of the  warriors can shoot except bogut who was already out.

[Golftech]

i think  much better if durant will guard lebron as they both superstar just like mj and drexler they both superstar and they both guarding each other no wonder seeing that competition again i think more fans will wait on that seeing both of them keeps on improving from time to time.

[harizen]

Chris Andersen to Cleveland Cavaliers?

Well a good move by the CAVS since we all know how Birdman is capable when it comes to defense even at his age. He can't contribute much in offense but CAVS can rely with him in defense around the paint. And an additional player at center spot is really needed by the CAVS.

yes thompson needs someone that he can rely unlike love that lacking in this particular position, cavs really knows how to
intercept the moves that gsw went to, if they have durant to add offensive cavs add andersen to help them inside and
defend the paint good job. go go go for another title.

[ultrloa]

Im sure coaching staff will make adjustment with that knowing durant cant gaurd lebron and surely they make iggy or green assign to defend lebron just what like happen in finals, coaching staff will not gamble the defensive effectiveness of durant  because we knew lebron is stronger than durant since lebron is big masculine guy.

Thats a good rooster trade have cavs gotten birdsman addition can be a great defensive brealthrough to them since we know that andersen is defensive and a rebounder and he can make good contribution to cavs institution.

That will be a good combination (Thompson, Frye, Andersen) when it comes to a defensive one. Love isn't that aggressive defensively so a filling up another center spot to take care for his defensive position is a good move.

Thats a good rooster trade have cavs gotten birdsman addition can be a great defensive brealthrough to them since we know that andersen is defensive and a rebounder and he can make good contribution to cavs institution.

And Lebron James knows how to play with this guy as they are teammates back in Miami Heat days.

yes so it would be shumpert birdman and lebron again hehehe cool, and the center position is now filled in
as anderson is a well known defensive man not really in scoring but big factor to defend the paint in any
form of defense. will see how this movement will add the team.

I gotta be honest here, I love the addition of Birdman in the cleveland cavaliers, this is great as this man is full of energy in the floor and though he is not really good but he can help his teammate to gain more confidence while playing.

Eh, if Birdman is playing 10min, god help us. lol.

I think his role is to nut punch someone if needed and in case of emergency, a big body with 6 fouls that isn't completely uncoordinated as Sasha looked last year or glorified moving pick/hack artist.

At this point of his career, him and JJ are the old head bench vet cheerleaders which I think is good for Kyrie/Love/TT in the longrun.

I think it would absolutely stupid if Durant will guard LeBron
2 biggest reasons
1) you don't want Durant to get into foul trouble, especially when you have 3 other players who can guard LeBron
2) you want Durant to stay fresh

I don't think he will be getting too much play time but it's much cheaper than Mozgov for that matter. I think his age is a huge question mark but I'm sure he has a vet minimum contract so that's ok.

I'm actually quite surprised following some summer league highlights about Jordan McRae and Kay Felder, both are looking great and if they can keep the same level they could be huge assets for the Cavs coming off the bench...check them out.

Definitely cheaper than mozgov and I think LeBron trusts Birdman a bit more than mozgov.
Plus in some cases Birdman's experience will come into play

I like the decision of the cavaliers this season to acquire birdman, I believe it will add the defense in the team as this guy makes good play down the stretch. Every player wants to have a teammate that is so hard working in the court as it will also encourage them.

imo not a good idea. Still would be better if Green or Igoudala will guard on Lebron and wont depend on a mark superstar. Look at Iggy on Durant last season, Durant is more a superstar compare to him but he guarded him well. Im not saying Durant cant guard LJ, im just saying what is better.
