  1. Cavs post season record over last two years One Win and Six losses. Donovan has much playoff experience and was not prepared for the level of competition. Knicks played very good but not great.
    Cavs team roster, front office and coaching staff made many poor decisions. The entire organization must improve dramatically to be considered NBA Championship caliber. The Cavs weaknesses are obvious. Much soul searching and changes must be implemented to take the steps required to compete with the NBAs best teams.

  2. I’m no President of Basketball Operations, but I think it’s best we sign a stretch four in George niang
    (ex teammate of spida) make a big trade involving Donovan’s best friend
    Royce O’Neal. The purpose of these Utah connections is to keep don jubilant and excited to be in Cleveland. We don’t want him leaving us like bron. sharife cooper would be a great fit to this young dog mentality
    team, I don’t see why not give him a shot in the big league 🤷🏽‍♂️ he was balling out in Cleveland’s G league team. Lastly sign a back up center known for interior defense..

  3. I don't know how JBB works on a daily basis, but during games he's a non factor, at least a non positive factor. The atmosphere looks more as a kindergarten than a professional sports team. I see more regression than progression. Player development has been atrocious. Maybe that works for kids but you just have to read what's being said all year long in the forums to understand the fanbase can't stand JBB anymore and do not want soft players on the court.

  4. Koby you are the man and hope you have a job for life with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Donnavin Mitchell experience has been an epic fail, he is not the prime time player we all thought he would be. He is in love with NY and nothing you or anyone else can do to stop him from going to NY in 2 years. We need to admit it was a mistake and trade Donnavin to recoup assets. Call Brooklyn and offer Donnavin & Cedi for Mikal Bridges, Nic Claxton & Spencer Dinwiddie and 3 1st round picks. Going forward we don't need to trade for a "Superstar". We have some really good players and have JB and his staff keep developing them and this team will do great things! Go Cavs!

  5. Get a 3 pt shooting Center that can hit the boards on the defensive end like a Brooke Lopez

  6. Trade JA for Brandon Ingram or Evan Mobley. Re-haul the bench, and put JB on the hot seat for next year.

  7. 🚨 NEWS FLASH: NOBODY CARES THAT YOU WON 51 REGULAR SEASON GAMES. 🚨

  8. Get Christian wood. Make Mobley hit the weights 235-245lbs minimum! Giannis type beat

  9. Let's start with a new coach. I don't want to hear nothing about the personnel. Erik Spoelstra is doing more with less talent. WE NEED A BETTER COACH with a refined offensive system that understands how to make adjustments, develop talent, making good use of his big men in the low post, and use youth to their advantage by playing faster. JB has done a solid job getting young guys to believe in themselves, but we need a finishing coach now, a coach that has produced on the biggest stage… No more dog chains, we were not dogs, we behaved like boys, we were treated like boys in the playoffs. Men are professionals, and show up to get the job done by any means! Men don't wear chains, they don RINGS & TROPHIES!

  10. I still have faith in Koby. I think he'll work some magic and hold this roster together while adding the pieces we need.

  11. the offensive philosophy needs to be completely overhauled. The SLOWEST paced team in the league is a complete joke. We will never go anywhere playing that style. If we don't look completely different in terms of playing style next season, be prepared for another first round beat down. Embarrassing coaching and performance.

  12. Kolby needs to go. He said all the wrong things here. Nobody cares about just getting to the playoffs. Clearly he’s ok with that. We’re going to end up old Toronto. Good regular season , never really a contender (until they got lenorad). Roster construction is horrible.

    I don’t know why he traded for Mitchell. Danny Ang fleeced him for a second time (traded Kyrie for IT). Mitchell basically a rich man’s Sexton. It stunted DG and Mobley. Even with the trade it made more sense to keep Lauri over Allen. Spaces the floor and gives the backcourt a chance.

    He’s clearly obsessed with this idea of old portlands backcourt of Lillard and McCollum. But what championship did they win? He lacks foresight, keeps getting players and asking them to fit a role that doesn’t naturally suit them and I think he’s aiming to just do ok (make the playoffs).

  13. Still saying core 4 lol JA just showed you the lights too bright in the playoffs lol hes not a key piece going forward anymore, atleast starting. Although i know JA not getting traded you got go get a center or a PF….i think Draymond would be perfect for this although i know it aint happening. Or KAT i think his time in Minnesota bout done. KAT and Mobley would be a nice pairing imo

  14. Should receive the award for worst executive off the year, has sucked since day 1 and people are delusional thinking he is a quality executive. Nothing but more lame excuses. Come on Dan you can find someone better than this dude.

  15. Cavs went from 22 to 44 to 51 wins. This season ended in a dissapointment but this Franchise has been heading in the right direction the past couple years.

  16. I've never seen a team rollover like that in a series where they were favored and healthy. Coach blows and the bench stinks. Thanks to Okoro and LeVert for being the only guys to show some heart and toughness in this series. The rest of the team should look in the mirror to see what the problems are.

  17. This is a man with blinders on, patting himself on the back for failure. Clear overestimation of the ceilings of Garland and Mobley. They are role players for contending teams. Not stars.

  18. Altman has Destroyed the Cavs Process they didn’t need DM, All they to do was trade Sexton and a couple of 2nds for nice 3&d Wing but Nooo He Just to trade their future away for midget Mitchell
