We may be able to trade Dean Wade and a second rounder for Jayson Tatum.
The pick n rolls are too predictable now lmao that's all they do
Lets get this dub tonight! Lock in like we did in the last Raptors game!
Cavs need to get rid of the Rubio contract. The fact he hasn't retired and keeps taking the money from Cleveland is beyond ridiculous
I wander if TT has come between DG and Mitchell by less moments to bond one on one off court. Also DG made a comment during the media day that this was “his team” and “hes the leader”. Thats kind of a different power dynamic than last year when it seemed like Donovan came in and acted as leader.
Can we please get Luke Travers already!!! He’s gonna be better than Wade off rip !
Rubio should retire, sign IT4 play Porter more, but if DG& Mitchell goes down we need buckets. Deserves a redemption arc, a final bow.
So we okay with an 8 man rotation after JB said in the beginning of the season will going 10 to 11 deep. Really?
Backup point guard is not a need. Just need to get healthy. LeVert and Ty Jerome will help when they get healthy, but CPJ need his contract to be converted. CPJ, to me, is the permanent answer to the backup point. Sam Merrill can play some minutes there if need be.
4 players who should come off the bench when healthy are CPJ, Caris, Okoro, and Niang. Dean Wade and TT are more just in case of emergency players if injuries or foul trouble occur.
JB not knowing how to use his roster is still ridiculous. This offense needs DG and Spida shooting more than ball handling to generate more spacing for our startings bigs to be used as facilitators and drivers to the basket. DG, Spida, and Max should be used like Billups, Rip, and Prince from the 04 Pistons. Niang is a corner specialist, and he hasn't taken that many in the corner. If Wade's shot is not going down, use him as a P&R set man or pick and pop player to get him space to drive or shoot when he receives the ball.
Emoni Bates is ready to play. He can catch and shoot a player who cut to the basket as well as drive to the basket.
We can't trade for no one with limited assets, and honestly, we don't need to. We need a new coach before anyone gets traded first. JBs role definition, offense, minutes distribution, and just knowledge of players is what is killing this team's potential
