the cavs bench with bogut is as good as the worst teams starting lineups

williams, korver, jefferson, frye, bogut

Cavs also adding Bogut.
On paper It's one of the most talented sides in the comp. Just the names they have. They have 8 top 10 drafted players with bogut and Williams x2

3 number 1s
1 number 2
1 number 3
1 number 4 pick

And that doesn't even include love who was a number 5 pick.

Then you add one of the top 5 players in the history of the game in lebron. Will be interesting to see how everyone fits in with only 28 games left.

this is bad news for non cavs teams
Imagine if they can actually click.

You have a offensive rebounder in TT you have a rim protector with passing skills. You have 3 point specialists all over the place. You have lebron who is starting to get back into MVP form.

I just don't know why they keep on persisting with felder. In the few games liggins was on he added so much. Ok he might not be a natural ball handler but felder has been a disaster at times.

I guess none of that will matter with d-will as the back up.

Cavs finally have a big man line up, a small man line up, a defensive team and a shooting team. Only thing is if they can all stay on the court at the same time without injuries.

cavs adding deron williams so they finally get there back up point guard and bogut likely to sign with cavs or rockets
Funny thing is they picked up korver (will finish top 5 in 3 points by the end of his career), derrick williams (all but signed as a back up forward), deron Williams (3 time all star or something like that) and looks like bogut will be joining them (former number 1 draft pick) and all they gave up was mike dunleavy and mo Williams haha. Hats off to the cavs general manager. We should give him a call sometime about coming over to belmore :p

Even with bogut, and the 2 Williams they would both be on peanuts this season compared to what they would make else where so hats off to him for building a gun rotation without opening the cheque book.

Looks like KD will be goneskis, so GSWs will go down the toilet.

Actually Im locked in for GSW vs Cavs, never said once that I said they would win this year. Last year, yeah, not this year.
yes i mean to make the finals, you are locked in for warriors but if the cavs dont make it ill let that slide

if the warriors plane crashes and everybody loses their arm/leg then the warriors replacement D League team must make the finals and win the finals for robbie fowler

Cavs Boston game has been great.
Was a top game this morning. Will be interesting to see how coach lue shares the mins with love and smith to come back and trying to fit in bogut too.

Like I said earlier if this team can click they should sweep any series. Only problem is with so many personnel changes and not many training sessions leading into the finals the only practice they will get is during games.

Attack and defence seemed a bit clunky today. Especially with d-wills but the guy brings class to the second line up. Hawks next up on Saturday now.

Only thing I dont like is now KD is poked the season is even more boring than before. Before we knew a GSW vs Cavs final would be close (well I thought so) but now its just meh. I know they are saying KD will be back but I think that is more hope than anything.

Having said that I still think the Cavs will get a couple of tough games in the finals against Washington or Boston, they will win but I dont think sweep them even if they do click.

Yeh KD is a massive loss. Will be interesting to see if GSW big 3 can fire again.

With a fully fit rosters GSW starting 5 is almost unstoppable (especially over 7 games you would think). But cavs bench is quality (when you can bring on d-wills, korver, shumpert, frye, bogut, jefferson, jones) you know your bench won't let you down.

An interesting few months ahead that's for sure.

Watching GSW and Bulls at the minute and GSW just look like a normal middle of the road team without KD, lol. Theyre poked.
