Don't get me wrong, Barnes is a nice player. But he was never going to be this all around superstar he was hyped up to be coming out of high school.

Reminds me a bit of Paul George.

Dude is the perfect 2nd/3rd option. Luol Deng type who can shoot sort of upside? Sign me up. Crazy to think Cavaliers could have had Barnes, Irving and Valanciunas as their core. Just brutal.

Don't hate on Tristan and Waiters.

[The Oligarchy]

But yeah, don't understand passing on Jonas really.

the Cavs reached for TT and Waiters.

[The Oligarchy]

At least Dan Gilbert is putting money into Detroit!

And they hit a HR on Kyrie. Of course he was the #1 pick so that's not impressive.

But they made a great move by taking on Baron Davis contract to get the pick that turned into Kyrie.

[Broph]

Had batum liked Cleveland he probably woulda been there, they offered him more money than anybody

don't disagree with this at all, just was confusing as hell when people were hyping him up as some sort of franchise player.

Their GM puts 0 trust into advanced analytics. Disappointing stuff.

Barnes is going to be a beast....Worst case scenario is Luol Deng.

advanced stats are bikinis!

it doesn't give me pleasure to hate on Tristan... I'm Canadian, I'd love if he somehow became anything more than a role player. it gives me pleasure to hate on waiters though. he does too many things poorly to make up for the few things he does well.

it could be worse, you could be the raptors and crunch the numbers every way possible until you find one justification for the stupid shit you do as an organization.
