Mo Bamba or Larry Nance Jr. before Ben Simmons.
Simmons is a plague stay away
If we got Ben Simmons a ring before Embiid, that would be the funniest thing ever.
Theis and Wright are off the list now… Boston picked up Torrey Craig too.
Koby said they aren't in a rush to go after anyone else right away, but I'm hoping we figure it out sooner than later.
Sanders isn't worth a top 5 pick. Browns need to trade down and accumulate multiple 1st round picks. Draft Howard or Dart in the 2nd or 3rd round
Jay, the real question is, "can you pick against the refs"
Size-why lol
Cavs Shouldn't be done, it should hit the bio market.Keep staying aggressive, build this team.We're almost there.Almost at that championship level roster. I think we already are.
My two buyout options would be Ben Simmons and Bruce brown.
Simmons can't play freaking PF or C, the Nets tried that and it was a disaster on BOTH SIDES of the floor.
Also:
"Simmons' lack of competitiveness in crucial games raises questions about his character… Those who know him best say he needs things to revolve around him on and off the court and that he's often been close-minded to coaching or instruction"
^Simmons' scouting report from almost a decade ago, that has proven itself disturbingly accurate in every scenario, including a Sixers team that bowed to him for years. Show me one scrap of evidence he isn't still THAT guy. Cause no contending team should want THAT guy.
I would like Ben Simmons if he could commit to his role, but he's soft. Someone says something to him on the court, and his feelings will get hurt and he'll retire
Simmons and theis team needs toughness
Worst thing the Cavs can do is get Simmons.
I’d rather have the old why guy that jumps in passing lanes and spots in the corner at the YMCA than Ben Simmons
Simmons is the best option, remember when Luke Walton was on the Cavs and he was a non-scoring glue guy, would always put up statlines of 2PTS, 5AST, 4REB but his +/- would be crazy lol
Buy out niang n get him back here
I love a second unit of Ty Jerome, Strus, Simmons, Okoro and Wade surrounds Simmons with shooters. And that puts Tyson and Merrill at the very end of our bench that is crazy depth.
I’m a Steelers fan, but Shedeur Sanders would fit right in the Browns locker room. The kid is tough too?? I’m my opinion browns need to address offense!
Simmons a backup point center.. half court high post operator and screen setter .. grab and go small ball point center in a limited spot role
Kelly Olynyk would be perfect to take TRISTAN THOMPSONS minutes
Nance is vibes and a good tweaner, wing forward small ball center skill set
Two way contract conversion ?? Travers? Hunter Wade insurance
Ben Simmons sucks. A cancer that will ruin the locker room
Any one think a young big guy in Bagley III as a 14/15th guy a development project?
Currently have 2 roster spots and TT and Merrill probably wont be back so that makes 4 open spots right off the bat for next season.
G Bush is full of hyperbolic Kool-Aid takes. The sanders kid is overrated. Why do these talking heads always settle on the bells and whistles of an average QB. I want the big guy with a big arm and can read defenses, not a skinny kid that will get banged up. I don't believe the hype!!!
Ben Simmons is a player with no heart. If you're playing Old Maid…he's Old Maid
One thing the Cavs have had is a locker room. Trading Niang and LeVert hurt that. Adding a cancer like Simmons will destroy it.
Isn't HEART a factor in sports?? He plays with none…and is out a lot….NO on Simmons
I rather not get Ben "the trash can " Simmons
Bush is pushing drafting QB, but a rookie behind our terrible line would be a disaster. Great teams win in the trenches and the Browns should build up the team before drafting a franchise QB.
You, the media reporters, with this overreaching on a draft pick. We have to get a quarter back in the draft first or second round. We don't have to trade Miles now. We have not drafted this high since Baker
Jay says he hopes we don't watch Carter win awards if we draft Shadeur. He conveniently ignores the fact that if we draft Carter, even if he's good, if the qb that we didn't draft at 2 becomes an instant success than everybody is still fired no matter how good Carter is. Jay is Walter Mitty. It's maddening.
Bamba thies or nance should be the direction we head. Ben Simmons is not good for the locker room
Daniel Tteis and Bruce Brown for me
