They're playing really good right now. Won at both Phoenix and Golden State in the past week or so also...still inconsistent with a loss to the Jazz and another bad team recently but they are a vastly improved team this year.

Seeing lots of improvement from Anthony Bennett. At least Brown is giving him some meaningful minutes. 11 points last night, 4 for 4 FT, 1 for 2 from 3.

Brown is a joke. That team should at worst be in the 45-37 range. They have talent at every position.

Thompson, Irving and the newly acquired Deng...you can keep the rest.

I'm not a big Thompson believer. He is a good offensive rebounder but pretty much brings little other than "potential" to the table.

lol. Byron Scott coached pretty much the same team last year and went 24-58. The talent on the Cavs is fair at best. In fact they only have 2 players that would start on a legit playoff team. Where is all this talent?

22 minutes and 14 points tonight. Possibly being showcased for a trade?

The knicks should give up Melo for him.
Then fire Woodson and build around Bennett, Shump and Hardaway. Plus the Cavs would def. throw a pick in.

Sounds like a strategy for about 12 wins a year.

I don't think you'd have to fire Woodson if you did this. He'd surely quit.

Dolan is an idiot but even he isn't that stupid

One thing I can always count on from this thread is a good laugh.

Get rid of the salary. Plus Brown hates him.

He has been playing better lately which is good to see...playing good again tonight against the Kings. He has taken a lot of criticism for his play, which some was warranted since he was struggling early on...but most of it was because of where he was drafted which wasn't his fault.

Hardly bet NBA, but I am tonight.
Miami minus 3 for a large amount
Portland in a pick for a medium sized amount.
Good Luck

Gotta check on LaMarcus Aldridge's status...was listed as questionable pretty late. Reports say he was out earlier than normal for pregame warmups going through lateral movement drills with the coaches. My guess is he'll play but he did sit against the T-Wolves for a while the other night with "soreness".
