    Cavs are totally done unless they make a miracle trade. This is awful.

    Hate this kind of stuff.

    Wait, why are Windhorst and Stein reporting that the MRI tomorrow will make a difference?

    I'm with J.R., Verajao is not that important. There is little chance he'll ever again see >7 rbg playing with Love. The guy feasted on playing with nobodys.

    At this point, with Love and Lebron, he's one of the most replaceable players in the league.

    Varejao is important for the Cavs considering they now only have TT and Love as capable bigs.

    Too bad. Varejao is a good player, injuries are his Achilles' heel.

    So... Dion Waiters for Brandan Wright?

    Their net rating with Thompson on the court is much better than with Varejao. Now they just need to find a competent backup C.

    False. You can't just replace 7fters that know how to play. You said the same thing when we lost Asik that it wouldn't hurt. In the grand scheme of things it hasn't hurt us thanks to our amazing guard

    Welp, I guess it's time for Lebron to start playing defense now and trying harder.

    calling it now dorsey to the cavs. frees up roster spot to sign smith and don't have to eat his guaranteed contract. sucks for the cavs though.
