I agree that this is his best season as a Cav, but I could never put him over lebron and Kyrie. To each their own though

Kyle Lowry
Dear Derozan
Demarre Carroll
Serge Ibaka
Jonas Valanciunas

The Raptors have the most solid 1 to 9 rotation for the playoffs. Who's their worst player, Cory Joseph? Great trade for them.

Just an FYI the pick Raptors gave up is the Clippers pick they got from Milwaukee in the Greivis Vasquez for Norman Powell deal. Thank you Milwaukee!

Bench.

C - Lucas Nogueria/Jacob Poeltl
F - Patrick Patterson/Pascal Siakam/Jarod Sullinger
G - Cory Joseph/Norman Powell/Fred VanVleet

I like Delon a lot. Was good in limited time as a rookie last year, rated out really well by a lot of analytics going into the draft. A shame he got hurt, may have solidiied himself by now. I'd be beyond thrilled if he was the Wizards backup PG right now over Burke lol. He will be a bargain pickup for whoever trades for him if it happens.

I just feel like the Raptors have a lot to figure out with their young players, many of which I happen to like a lot. Siakam, Poeltl, Van Fleet, Powell... Just not enough minutes to go around. At least now they opened up a slot for Powell.

With the most underrated superstar n the league leading their team..... look out. Toronto is coming.

For the first time since the KG/RAY/PP good days, I'm excited for the EC playoffs. Between Boston and Toronto.... man. This race to the playoffs is going to be fun.

Need Ibaka to integrate well. That's a huge IF.... but if it happens...... get giddy.

Yeah he has played well but still not on Kyrie or Lebrons level yet.

Do you know if Milwaukee put any sort of protection on that pick in the initial trade? If not, that could be another lottery pick for Orlando.

EDIT:

Found the answer. The pick is lottery protected through 2019.

Yeah it has been rough, but everyone should be good to go come post season. With the additions of Korver and Williams plus still the potential for another pickup to fill backup PG, I am not worried in the slightest. Lebron always flips the switch for the post season. I remember when ATL destroyed Cavs in the regular season and everyone thought ATL was going to give Cavs trouble in the playoffs... and then got swept I believe.

Great trade for Toronto in my mind. I seriously think they could win the East now.

Orlando starts the re-building process every two years. Such a mess of a franchise.

Saw this tweet and it's pretty spot on...

It's going to end up the lower of this years Raptors pick or this years LAC pick. They're currently 22 and 24.

Sorry, but LeBron is the one pushing the buttons there.

Did Kevin Love die? That sucks...

He's out 6 weeks. The Knicks season is over. Kevin Love will still be underpaid for the next 3 years. Kevin Love will still be younger than Carmelo. Carmelo and the Knicks (or at least Phil) are still a cluster. That's what you acquire him. Not because Kevin Love helps you win 2016.

Knicks could offer Carmelo right now and the Cavs still say no. Nothing changed. It's 6 weeks.

Love has had more WS/48 than Kyrie each of the last two seasons. For one, y'all don't understand just how bad Kyrie is on defense.

Kyrie also missed like the first 4 months of the season last year. Love is not much, if any better on D than Kyrie. Both have improved though. Love is solid for the team now don't get me wrong. But Kyrie is far more important to winning than Love. I would keep Kyrie over Love all day. Kyrie is also clutch when it counts, whereas Love tends to fall off in the post season.

Hopefully this means powell will break out officially since he should get a consistant 15-20 min a game without ross there

Only if there are enough shots to go around

Yeah i mentioned its tough to say in another thread cuz derozan typically dominates the opportunities that powell would get.. but ross managed to get a lot of looks so id assume it powell takes over his spot he will be asked to take a lot more 3s and have the opportunities.

Ownership has given #Cavs green light to increase payroll/tax, per AmicoHoops source. Team said to be working on several trade possibilities
