I'm surprised you put Lebron in there. Why? He's the perfect "Robin" type player. He just isn't a great batman. With MJ as the alpha LeBron would be in his perfect rolls.

Not favorite Tommy - best 5 working together. I don't need Magic - LeBron does everything Magic does 10% better. They're basically the same player. Plus Magic can't shoot for shit and I already have LeBron and Jordan missing too many jumpers. Lebron couldn't hold Magic's jock strap running a fast break or passing the ball overall. I think I could live with both of them on the court. And Magic wasn't a three point shooter but overall a good shooter - especially mid range. Top 60 all time field goal % with most of that list being bigs. Gary Payton over him? Come on.

LeBron is a better distributor of the ball than Magic.

Another point for the Glove - an all-time trash talker. Shaq admitted to being "intimidated" by him. I like that attitude on my team.

I honesty think that if LeBron could do it over he'd have gone to Golden State instead of Cleveland.

I honesty think that if LeBron could do it over he'd have gone to Golden State instead of Cleveland. I don't. He totally repaired his image with how he did it in the return. And he doesn't have to win 4 titles here to become immortal. It will take one. It won't be easy but you just have to keep telling yourself this team was up 2-1 last year w/out Love & Irving. And hopefully that players only meeting last week woke up a sleeping giant.

This team looks awful right now. Luckily they still have plenty of time to hit their stride.

I would say the Cavs have about a 10% chance of ending the drought. They have to get hot at the perfect time. I still don't know how they were up 2-1 without Kyrie and Love.

I don't really like Griffin but his overall game is better than Love's and he's slightly younger. Also how bad is that hand?
Let's let our resident NBA expert flats answer.

In theory Love should be a better fit with this roster. He's got the ideal skill set to play the pick and roll/pick and pop with LeBron. The problem is the team refuses to play real offense and keeps devolving into iso ball. If they're at the point where they've completely given up on running actual plays and are resigned to playing hero ball and trying to out-athlete the other team in transition, then I guess Blake Griffin fits that better than Love does. But I don't think that's winning basketball. Love might be the bug winner in that trade. CP3 would damn sure get him the ball where he likes it.

Maybe it makes more sense if they've got numbers saying Griffin is a good defender against Draymond Green. But that's also what they just paid TT $82M to do.

Windy reported earlier than they were kicking the doors on players like Korver. Shopping Mosgov and Varajeo to teams.

Also he is going to write some article about how Kobe and Lebron almost landed in Cleveland together. Just to kick our nuts some more.

I'm not sure Korver would make a huge difference. He's probably better than RJ, but he's not as good as JR.

Yeah - they're definitely in the market for a wing. But he's never been the most athletic guy, and at 34 he's not gonna be a piece of the team for years to come. I think they're much more interested in getting a guy in his mid or late 20's, that can fill a role for a few years. Not a Mike Miller type.

Not watching the game but from what I see on Twitter it appears that all the Cleveland beat writers are rooting for Kobe and the Lakers.

Nothing in particular. I just think he's ran his course. All he does is laugh the whole broadcast and occasionally slip in a catch phrase.

Alright Kobe's tribute is over. Is there anything left in the regular season or can we just skip to the playoffs now?
