    The King needs to find some more people to carry him to the finals. I love the fact that it was the rockets who showed him he needs more help.

    Dude it's not like we desperate and what player will get us higher in playoffs? The players that we could sign would just be sitting all the way at the end of bench, basically cheerleading. Morey keeping the future open by trying to extend championship window signing future gambles.

    Didn't GM Lebron tell us they were going to sign him a few days ago?

    When you have the last 2 championship teams scrambling to find extra players, that shows you every player counts. It's a no risk move if it fails. We def lack the size and need to rest players some nights.

    U don't want to count on Kyle Wiltjer and Bobby Brown if an injury occurs.

    They scrambling cause they injured, u see spurs doing anything? Just cause certain group does something we don't have to do so also. Be realist any of the player we could have signed cannot replace harden bev or even capela/ariza without disrupting chem.

    Injury or not. Teams will look for anything to stay ahead. No player will replace the core guys, but a few minutes a night to match up against the bigger teams would have been nice. It is not a risk SIGNING SOMEONE LIKE SANDERS OR COREY BREWERS dead goat. (RIP)

    Some teams just fine staying pat. There's more factors than just spot mins. Chemistry and playstyle also factors in. Larry sander left his team cause he got tired, Houston don't want another Royce white type distraction understandable.

    Yeah, if defense was a stat, Bev would be like 200% on that gauge last night.

    Signing players that have actually played in competitive basketball makes more sense then signing someone who hasn't played in two years. I would rather sign someone from the China league then Sanders.

    I actually think this makes a lot of sense if he was willing to give team options to the Cavs for a few years. Lebron tends to get the most out of his team mates. I believe his work ethic and desire to win inspires them. If Larry Sanders feeds off of that energy it could be a hugely beneficial signing. If he doesn't fit you don't pick up his option. No big deal.
