Stars Irving & Love has lots to prove by staying well to be on court
I don't buy it and their durable health woes aunt going be fixed overnight
By tons workouts and extra gym preparation,

In short Kevin Love and Kylie Irving need NBA resume developed to show on court time 85% in 2014/2015
I don't see it until WE see it, one or both of them going down just like their NBA health\history resumes show

Care to debate..? Friendly

I agree! They have a lot of question marks that will become more apparent once the excitement has died down

If this was melo, the bashing would be endless.

Believes Cavs lucky if they get K Love to play between 45-70 games all year
And better yet be 90-100 % healthy at NBA playoff time

With CA and Calderon making 30m combined, about half of the salary cap, we need to find steals, contract friendly fits, huge upgrades of versatile 2 way talents
Though the salary cap is expected to raise 5m each year, from 58m to about 68m by 2015/16
It will not be easy

I have Tony Wroten in mind in a trade
Whether he will play PG, starting or backup *change of pace BIG PG*, some SG as the 2nd ball handler
We would have 2 more years at his rookie scaled salary and think it would be in our best interest to buy him now while his value will multiply in the season with his potential

Jeff Green who has a player option of 10m at SG
While he could play some SG/SF and even and undersized PF on switches if needed vs shooters
Would Jeff Green, Fisher, Longstaff and Chris Brinkley, Phil Jackson, and the Garden/New YORK incease our changes

finding a SF/PF that has the ability defend the likes of Lebron/Durant and even Kevin Love at times
He is in TEAM USA because he has the talent/versatility and his value was once at an all time low, while looking better last season
If the price is right, I think Rudy Gay has this ability, while still making them work on DEF, 5-12m preferably lower the better
Monta Ellis made 7-8m, taking less to contend, I think Gay would need to do the same as well as make some changes to his game both on and off the court, as well as adding some speed/quickness and DEF

If we can acquire the talent at a nice price above and still acquire Durant/Noah in trades, it is one of the ways I can see us matching up vs the talent that Cleveland has assembled
Even then we still need a lot of work to do
Needing CA to make some pitches to recruit some talent to join him, even Rudy Gay to sign for less
Though we would need them to do what Kevin Love did, forcing a trade, saying "I will not resign with any team but with The NYK's"
Draft rights to 2015 1st rounder, 2018 1st rounder, some spare parts/fill ins, and a bit more asset's could is the price I would look to pay for an ALL STAR caliber player

Even then we need to find the
Robert Horry's, Steve Kerr's, as well many solid role players and FITS

Fortunately the 5m MLE is raising to about 6m next season that we could use to assemble talent
If we can use the MLE 2 years in a row, as well as doing the above, I think we could build a contender

This is year 1 of the triangle vs a team that has been running it for many years

Seems like The Cavs have yet to play a game so perhaps maybe they should could might be open to some critique but I see:

1. They have to go to training camp. Have drills, some bonding exercises and run thru Blatts playbook.
2. Have exhibition games, use the 48 minutes to not just play the starters, but try out different combinations of players!!!
3. Then I think they will try to win once the regular season starts!

Love vs Melo? Love "didn't make the playoffs in 6 years? Last I saw its a team game right? Melo had a team around him in Denver. It was like come playoff time came Denvers opponents scored more points so they won!!!!!

This is amazing stuff here guys! I hope your appreciate it!

Regards,

Captain Obvious

BTW, I think Melo at age 20, or 21, 22, etc is now a better player. Just progress.

We can break down the competition in the west in those year, or was can just move on.

I don't think marrying ideas for comparisions is always valid. Lebron is not melo. One might argue as a speciman, Leborn is better than Jordan as his powers makes others around hiim better. For all his talents, Jordan drew defenders in and thus opened up things for others in a different way. Im not debating who is better, but Lebron is MUCH better than Melo. Jordan has his bling and place in history. Kobe could not catch him but Lebron still got hope.

Bottom line is for every team to stay healthy to reach its potential and growth pains to gain chemistry.

Spurs are the defending champs and will have a good chance to defend it. They were able to be healthier in 2014 then previous '13 team that came within seconds of winning game 6.

Lebron, Like Wilt before him needs the 4 other guys.

Cavs have to be favorites out of the east but like we all can agree with, on paper is not the real deal.

Would all these concerns exist if

We had their squad

Would you doubt our chances at a chip

squad?
you don't need resr of present squad at all outside LBJ
if ny had Lebron, end of story.
no k love no kyrie needed

Well obviously you need something alongside of note

Lebron 2-5 in the Finals

Yes your chances spike dramatically with the addition of Lebron

But let's stop shortchanging his current roster

I believe he's lost 30% of his Conference Finals matches

Is it easy to acquire better talents than Love-Kyrie-Waiters
