    yeah , frankly he sucks so far this year. He needs to pick up his game defensively and go back to being replacement level offensively. Hopefully this is just a bad slump , but our defensive issues aren't just " James needs to try harder." Ariza has regressed.

    the following makes a lot of sense for both teams....

    Dwight, Ariza, Thorton for Love, Mozgov and Smith

    definitely not the first one to trade, but it is a start.

    does not make a darn difference right now

    Don't be so quick to dismiss what Ariza has done for this team.


    As for Stein,...:(

    What's more likely, that multiple players have regressed or that Harden's play has demoralized the team?

    Harden's turnovers and his demeanor of playing just well enough to be around 0.50 is demoralizing itself

    The coaching staff should be the block. It doesn't matter who comes in or who goes out if you have crappy coaching.

    Don't turn your back on Ariza

    Exactly, they be good for 1 Year then our coaching turns them into trash.

    I had a glimpse of the rox practice sessions and they are a ****ing joke.

    Seems like kind of a rip off for the Cavs. I'd value Love who is younger and locked up on a contract over an expiring 30 year old Howard any day. Then you throw in Mozgof who is a quality starting center, Ariza has a little more value then Smith but not nearly enough to offset the value discrepancy IMO.

    Plus I don't see Howard and Thompson fitting together at all, that would kill Cavs spacing.

    Same thoughts as always, when it comes to Rockets takes, Stein is nothing but a Mavs homer.

    Do the salaries match? This is the exact trade I had in mind earlier.

    Howard with Lebron would be lethal becaue he wouldn't cry about post ups with Lebron on the team. Or maybe he would who knows, lol.

    Exactly. His tweets are never positive towards our squad. He clearly has an agenda whenever he writes, tweets or posts anything rockets related

    I agree Cod. I love Ariza, but I want him in the role Brewer had last year with a better shooter in the starting lineup.

    Are we talking about the grievances Deng described when he landed in the pre-Lebron return Cavs? That kind of chaos?
