    Agreed. Outside of Harden, Dwight, Lawson, and Motijunas...this team is not very talented and Motijunas who knows if he'll be what he was for us last season again. Lawson just isn't going to work here and honestly maybe he's a guy you need to cater to. He's had one good stint in Denver and even then he wasn't an all-star. Maybe this is who he is and Denver he just benefited from having a team built to his strengths.

    Everyone else on this team are decent depth guys.

    the only reason i would be ok with Horford is, he is a power forward and not a centre, he has been stuck at centre way too long and he can hit threes and jumpers

    how about the fact that Capela plays against the other teams backup big-men, while Dwight doesn't...

    This is far and away the best case scenario... Plus it's a win now move for the Cavs.

    How fed up are they with the K Love issues there?
    Does LeBron like Dwight?

    I actually think LeBron would happily trade Love for Howard. Love isn't used properly in their system and Howard is a better fit.

    This team loves to go small, having a PF play center is normal for them.

    Question for those around to watch Hakeem from start to finish:

    Is this kind of how it felt when the Rockets made it to the Finals in '86, gave it a good fight but lost to a superior team, but then everything just unraveled the next year or so?

    I know the WCF isn't exactly the peak but damn it was the closest we've been since '97.

    Then get the f off this board cuz we ride the ROCKETS train here and the Rockets are CLEARLY invested in Harden as the face of the franchise

    Could be a decoy, and we're trading the other H
