He is still a major upgrade over Jefferson

They aren't asking him to be a stopper. He just needs to be competent enough to guard KD and others for stretches. He's clearly a better player than RJ

Wade to Cleveland. Big pickup for Cleveland. Yes he can still play.

Ah. The era is superteams

Thanks Stern

He can still play is subjective

donnerstag

9/26/17 10:49am

No one is saying he is as good as he used to be.

thebruce

PER of 18 last year and TS% of only 51%. and he's only declining.

"He can still play" doesn't mean he's an all star. He's still a good player.

thebruce

Still a scrappy veteran and solid rotational player. Not a star but can still

much better fit than Carmelo because he can defend and pass.

smokymountainrain

9/26/17 11:01am

my biggest point is lets stop with the narrative that this is a super team.

smokymountainrain

9/26/17 11:01am

I think that if they only plan on having him for 24 minutes a night, 60 games

BoiseBlue

9/26/17 10:57am

that's probably the best argument for Wade giving the Cavs a positive impact

smokymountainrain

9/26/17 10:58am

So you're either a superstar or you can't play?

Lip Gallagher

9/26/17 11:30am

I wouldn't consider it a "big" pickup

donnerstag

9/26/17 12:00pm

You win titles with the right veteran role players. Wade is almost

Lip Gallagher

I think the Cavs without question are a better team than last year

I hope they sweep the Celtics

They won't. Brad Stevens is arguably the best coach in the NBA.

Dread Pirate Westley

9/26/17 10:54am

Playing in the East has largely skewed that. They were 17-13 against the West

RdF3

9/26/17 10:56am

I don't think it's arguable. Pop is the best coach in the NBA.

thebruce

9/26/17 10:56am

Pop is a great coach, but he's also had better rosters to work with.

Dread Pirate Westley

9/26/17 10:59am

And significantly better results, too.

thebruce

9/26/17 11:03am

You are talking about possibly the greatest coach in NBA history

thebruce

9/26/17 11:06am

Fine. I like Pop as a coach but dislike him immensely as a person.

Dread Pirate Westley

9/26/17 11:07am

That's fair.

thebruce

9/26/17 11:09am

haven't they swept them or 5 games since Stevens has been there?

smokymountainrain

9/26/17 10:57am

Look at what he's done with the talent he's had.

Dread Pirate Westley

9/26/17 10:59am

I think so too but only if It can be as good as last year.

thebruce

9/26/17 10:59am

IT, DWade, Love, LBJ...yikes

nashty

9/26/17 10:53am

IT is injured and who knows how that recovery will go and Wade wasn't that

smokymountainrain

9/26/17 10:57am

i understand IT's health issues and that DWade isn't what he used to be. thx

nashty

9/26/17 10:58am

not sure why you said "yikes" then.

smokymountainrain

9/26/17 10:59am

b/c, despite the caveats (i assumed were obvious) i still think it's a

About 6 years too late for some of those guys

TrackCoug

9/26/17 11:08am

That's shocking.

AndyDwyer

9/26/17 10:57am

Wade, Rose and IT - yet Crowder is the guy who will help them most.

smokymountainrain

9/26/17 10:59am

Crowder will help them big time.

thebruce

9/26/17 11:08am

Crowder will get exposed against elite wings

donnerstag

9/26/17 11:10am

He is still a major upgrade over Jefferson

thebruce

9/26/17 11:17am

He's definitely better than RJ

donnerstag

9/26/17 11:22am

much better than what they had and he can hit the three.

smokymountainrain

9/26/17 11:27am

And plays with some nasty that is always nice

thebruce

9/26/17 11:28am

Have they asked Karl Malone yet if he want's to play again?

RC Vikings

9/26/17 11:04am

Probably could give them a solid 12 minutes honestly.

Mr. Belding

9/26/17 11:19am

Bad move IMO. Wade is very overrated at this point.

Baron

9/26/17 12:52pm

Bad move? What was the alternative that was better?

RdF3

9/26/17 12:53pm

lol they're not looking for him to come in and be a #2.
