With the 2nd apron cap situation - can the Cavs acquire players in a sign and trade? Not sure either teams appetite but wondering if Kuminga gets less than 20 APY if a JK-JA framework would be allowed under the CBA, should the Cavs and Dubs want to do that? Also, any rumblings on Wade/Okoro trades?

Exactly - hard to tell for sure on TV how bad it’s been but it seems extremely inconsistent which is frustrating for players and fans alike

Maybe it’s just that ‘who’ let the dogs like ‘who’ was on first 🤷‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The only thing that would make it even better a comp is if Spida took a big pay cut to stay here - and had a fun saying like “home run pitch” or “you know bro” besides the #letemknow tweet before playing

So is the L2M (and almost all officiating tbh). I know they have a hard job but they feel a LOT worse than normal (for everyone) in these playoffs, but especially the Cavs series

It’s amazing.. at least there’s not a “review system report” like L2M

How is “he’s lucky that wasn’t a flagrant… but correct call on a no-call I think” a sentence that can be said? Lol

Rocchio is just 🗑️ it feels like (he’s ok but awful defensive plays, putrid base running, and no offense doesn’t profile to be a great player. And lane, excl. the playoff moments has been awful for us. When 2/3 of the guys may show they shouldn’t play, lane should get the everyday ABs at that point

And right now Angel is hot, so he should get the starts at 2nd (with Rocchio on the bench). When/if he cools down I would let schnee/Rocchio play, but for now he deserves the ABs along with NoJo and Big Christmas, tho for different reasons

Everyone loves Jones below the surface #s, so let’s get him the ABs. Big XMas obviously needs the everyday ABs to get into a rhythm, and while his profile is great as a PH, he should be hitting 5/6 days a week to get a flow and see if he can produce

Very true - I was really glad to see him get tossed especially after begging for it after the Kings game debacle last week 😂

Do you think Kenny losing it (loved to see it) showed the overall importance of this game? In the sense we’re playing for nothing and he’s pretty composed, but also to show the guys fighting their ass off in the game he’s got their back and all going to the same big goal?

I think the guys in the top 8 (after core 4) got a less strict JA treatment in the 2nd half. Overall, totally agree with you (and if nothing else) the guys at the end keeping it that close gives me faith they all can step up if needed in the playoffs (even just for some energy in a short spurt)
