Assuming Waiters' 20 good games wasn't a contract year fluke

Fair point, I don't think Dion will be a star, but it wouldn't shock me if he's a 17ppg/45% dude.

Worst case scenario for this team is 35 games, floor is 45 wins, best case 50 wins

I don't think Dion's numbers will drop. Spo realized he's best in a Kyrie-esque roll where the offense isn't ran through him (He's not consistent enough yet) but he's the go-to scorer.

Looking at everything together, I gotta give the off-season a B+.

We brought back the core of the 30-11 squad and, at worst, made it better. Might not be contending for a championship but we playoff bound and a star/young breakout away from making noise. Riley and Spo might have found something in Bam, as usual, who we saw dominating the summer league even if it wasn't leading to wins. But a dynamic 4th or even 5th option on offense is dangerous and Bam showed the potential to be that.

Olynyk is better than Babbitt and should be more durable than McRoberts so that's an upgrade and he's still relatively young so who knows. Maybe decent trade piece since stretch bigs are valuable.

No blockbuster moves but we're banking on our squad and young talent growth. Can't be too mad since we gave away a lot of draft picks but I ain't too mad overall.

I hope Whiteside ain't the type to hold grudges like me because from what I recall he and Olynyc fought in a game didn't they?

I think Riley is about to trade someone... Looking at the roster some of the pieces dont quite make sense together

We still need a back up point guard unless it will be by committee like last year.

Since u was right last year what's yo prediction breh

 

[Makavalli]

Andy the gawd. I kno Bron tried to steal a lil bit of everything from us when he left but he aint get an ounce of the cap gawd. All these moves with teams getting better and cleveland maxed out with a roster that basically got swept

I'm feeling 50 is the floor

I agree on needing a backup point

Hassan? Winslow?
I don't know, man.
I just don't see how Whiteside, Winslow, Olynyk and James Jonson fit together on the roster.
