Because he’s got the passing skills that, so far this season, pay the bills.

Yeah plus Nance, but that's even after making pretty crazy good trades with what they had. IT and Crowder seem like more damnable returns for Kyrie than Clarkson, Nance and Hood at this point, unfortunately

Giving Danny Ainge the power to trade players Brad Stevens is propping up is an unfair advantage. Adam Silver must step in and disband the Celtics

Also have NBA fans turned harder on anyone faster than IT this year, talk about a hero in Boston barely 6 months ago and now he is salary filler and assumed locker room cancer. Up there with The Decision and KD signing with the Warriors

I feel for the guy. His sister isn’t a year in the ground, he suffered a major injury, was traded, came back and has struggled badly. Not a surprise he’s not in a great state of mind. When he first got hurt people (including here) accused him of faking it

Yeah a lot of people wanted to claim he "disappeared" and was faking it because he was too scared to play the Cavs

I am a little bit mad about the Memphis Grizzlies who I have always liked, especially that upset 2010-2011 series win over the Spurs, but honestly what the gently caress are they doing? I understand wanting a first rounder for Tyreke but when the market doesn't dictate that just get a high second or a young guy or some combination of poo poo and start the rebuild

Why does everyone keep forgetting that the Cavs still have the centerpiece of the Irving trade?

Or should I say, the Ante Zizic trade

Yeah both Swanigan and Collins have shown real flashes this season. I think both are at minimum decent backups, which isn't some huge disaster for guys picked in the mid-first.

My first thought about "fire Olshey" was well who are you gonna replace him with? But I would take Hinkie in a flash.

I can't believe Vonleh is only 22. He's not bad enough to be called trash, he's just not very good. He's one of those athletes that coaches will keep taking fliers on, believing they're the guy who can finally turn him around.

It's hard getting excited about Swanigan or Collins when so many other players from the draft are performing better. They're like 47th and 52nd in PER for rookies, and even worse on winshares. Not going to talk poo poo on them until a year or two down the road but I do not dare get my hopes up for them.
