What can the Cavs Do at the Deadline?

[JZsportswhiz]

What can the Cavs do before the deadline that gives them a realistic chance at beating the Warriors or Spurs in the Finals?

 

[JZsportswhiz]

Does the silence mean there is nothing they can do? If so, I agree

The East should do the NBA a favor and sit out this postseason. Let the Warriors-Spurs play a best of 15 series

Yeah I don't see them doing anything significant. Rumors out that they were targeting Channing Frye, but that's far from a big move.

Improve their bench.

Add shooters.

Trade Iman Shumpert for a better shooter.

Ben Mclemore + Koufos for Shumpert + Mozgov would make sense.

No it wouldn't... McLemore can't defend (Shump's specialty) and Moz is a better big than Kostas

they need bench scorers not defenders.

Dellavedova is not much of a shooter

If he's given the freedom, Mclemore can do it.

Delly shoots 43% from 3...

Delly shoots 43% from 3...

yes. but he's not a shooter.

If I'm gonna compare him to wing players, he's more Thabo Sefolosha than Danny Green.

They need more offense as their offense is stuck in their starting 5.

I'd do that

Alright LMAO ok you lost me here. Ben McLemore isn't going to stretch the floor against the Warriors any more than Delly can lol. Plus he's anemic on defense, whereas Shumpert is the Cavaliers best isolation wing defender.

I'd do that

Of course you would

 

[Stray32]

Of course you would

I think he meant he'd do it as the Kings, and if I was the Kings I'd take that too

Another dumb idea by Panic, Shump > McLemore and Mozgov > Koufos

I agreed haha because if I'm the Kings I take that offer and run. Not sure what Panic's thought process was on it.

something needs to change in cleveland's bench.

 

[cavsfan817]

something needs to change in cleveland's bench.

So you're proposing that this change needs to make them worse?

Channing Frye?

A 38% shooter paid 10M/yr won't make them better.

HE'S NOT THERE FOR SHOOTING

 

[Panic!]

HE'S NOT THERE FOR SHOOTING

BUT THEY NEED SHOOTING.

Their bench scoring is 28th in the league.
