    Struss is a cone on D. I'm worried about that if he's getting significant minutes

  5. Rahimi

    Cavs have a lot deeper team than Miami. Not tougher tho but the Cavs can be

    I think Strus will end up just being a slightly better Cedi Osman if I’m being honest. Cavs are heavily relying on Strus to hit 38% from 3 on high volume and keeping that extra defender out the paint that Osman and Okoro couldn’t do against the Knicks. If he can be that, then the signing is going to look solid. If he can’t, Cavs are going to need to spend more resources they don’t have to get that player to Cleveland.

    So max Strus was good enough to help Miami get past the play in tournament with shooting, then was good enough shooter to help them in majority of the games to get to the finals, but is not a good enough signing to help the Cavs to get to the second round stop the madness this dude’s a hater I try to listen to him he’s had only two positive things to say about Max Strus, who is a undrafted player that just contributed on a eastern conference contender that wasn’t considered a contender never invite this dude back on the show. Thanks.

    Chris Manning sounds like you wanted to kick this dude off the show yourself what’s the total buzz killer lol @23 mins

    Since Donovan is not eligible for the supermax with the Cavs, if he is not willing to sign an extension, I'm all for trading him and 2 2nd Round Picks to Brookyln for Mikal Bridges and Dorian Finney-Smith. Move Strus to the 2 guard and have LeVert be the 6th man as well as finish the game at the 2 guard. Along with LeVert, DFS, Niang, and Jerome off the bench. Thoughts?

    Also, I think u guys should do breakdown of Jarrett Allen's performance vs the Knicks to show how it was the scheme not his effort put him in bad position to rebound against 2 or more Knicks at a time. And how the 3 2 zone defense with Evan and Allen on the back end would benefit Strus and the rest of the Cavs instead of playing man defense.

  11. Michael Mcmahan

    Typical BS about a guy who isn't an all-star. I guess if you dont make a team with 6 superstars then you shouldn't even be a team.

    Strus can provide more overall game as the fifth starter than anyone else the calves have tried anf is currently on the roster. He will be a way better 4th/5th option on offense than anyone else. Might just think of Strus as the offensive version of Okoro.
    Strus at 2 and Lavert at point could make for an interesting guard lineup just to throw teams off.
