I think a good Fit for IT would be on a rebuilding/tanking team that still wants to put butts in the seats. If he is healthy again he scores lots but allows lots which leads to exciting games. I could see the Clips if they trade Lou will or someone like that wanting him.


Right, but they won't be paying him max dollars to do it.

I'm skeptical he'll even be a starter ever again in his career, which puts him in the, what? 10-15mil/year range?

he has been a starter the vast majority of his career and he has at least 2 good years left in him.
i think he'll be a starter next year.

All of that will depend how IT performs this year. But his window is closing and his ceiling is already very low.

ya. this is very bad. they were even worse against Toronto.

Toronto had Lowry and Ibaka out and they racked up 65 in the first half as well. At least, Cleveland gave up 65 points to some incredibly talents scorers tonight and not the undrafted Fred Van Vleet and converted soccer player Pascal Siakam. Siakam started playing basketball at age 17.

I'm glad SVG and Mark Jackson are here to keep it real and call this what it is. An embarrassment.

Haha. He needs to be more than a ball-dominant inefficient scorer who plays no defense and is seriously at a height disadvantage to still be competitive, or at least marketable. How many times have we seen IT play defense by chasing his man only for that player to dribble his way to the rim as if IT weren't there at all. It's funny as sad.

Rubio took 14 shots tonight and scored 34 points.

If Rubio "plays for the homeland" again this summer i think Minnie unloading him was the right move. If Rubio stops playing these summer Euro tourneys then getting rid of him was a mistake.

You mean "Why"? And are you saying that, other than the post you quoted, I said other things that are untrue?
But first, what thing(s) was (were) untrue in the post you quoted?

IT stats with the Cavs so far:

Ball dominant
USG% : 30.9
FGA : 18.1
3PA : 8.2
2PA : 10.0

(For comparison, here's the numbers of other ball dominant players [USG/FGA/3PA/2PA]:
LBJ : 30.9 / FGA 24.8 / 6.4 / 18.3
Harden : 35.7 / 20.9 / 10.5 / 10.3
Westbrook 34.9 / 21.5 / 4.4 / 17.1)

Inefficient scorer
FG FGA FG% 3P 3PA 3P% 2P 2PA 2P%
6.6 18.1 .363 2.0 8.2 .250 4.5 10.0 .455

(For comparison, safe-to-say efficient scorers [same categories]
LBJ : 9.9 18.2 .545 1.7 4.7 .350 8.2 13.4 .614
Harden : 20.9 .451 4.1 10.5 .387 5.3 10.3 .516
Durant : 9.5 18.7 .510 2.7 6.4 .419 6.9 12.3 .557)
