    Cavs saw potential in Jarrett Allen, JB Bickerstaff, and Evan Mobley while giving up on Kevin Porter Jr.

    Rockets did not see potential in Jarrett Allen, JB Bickerstaff, and Evan Mobley while giving a chance to Kevin Porter Jr.

    Cavs are 23-18, Houston is 11-31

    Not quite as simple as that. They drafted very well also. Darius Garland is a star, Sexton is out injured but he is a star as well. Isaac Okoro looks good as well, they have had more high picks, they would want to have done good out of it. Mobley wasn't thought of or comes in to any conversation when it comes to Porter Jnr

    We tried it, it didn’t work. Just like the Theis and Wood lineup. Now it’s time to pivot. Nobody is benefiting from KPJ at PG, not even KPJ.

    Not quite true ...

    I've heard Mobley's pops got a good look at KPJ while both were at USC, and his attitude left a very bad taste in his mouth

    This played a major role in him directing Evan to not workout for us and his clearly-stated preference for CLE and OKC as draft destinations

    He did not want KPJ's act to infect his prized son

    Worry that KPJ will damage Green as a bad influence. Evan Mobley’s dad wouldn’t let him work out for the Rockets because he didn’t want his son playing with Porter as he knew about his off court activities. Smart guy and by the way this is a true story (Mobley’s dad coached him at USC).

    It just depends if wall buys into his role. Last year he was so selfish trying to prove ppl wrong.

    Cavs top 10 players as far as minutes played for them this season:

    Garland 5th pick
    Mobley 3rd pick
    Allen trade
    Markannen fa/trade
    Rubio trade
    Okoro 5th pick
    Love trade
    Osman 31st overall
    Wade undrafted
    Stevens udfa

    Sexton would be on that list if not injured. He was the 8th overall pick.
    Noticed that while watching the game last night.
    Crazy part is Wood doesn't even give a real effort to get in there and fight for the rebound or keep Drummond from getting an easy put back.

    Dude has so much ability and just lacks professionalism and IQ.
