@TheMMAenjoyer@SleeperPistons coming from a cavs fan, you'll be happy with Strus if this goes down. he's a dawg, a terrific glue guy and elevates his teammates effort.
only reason we'd do it is to clear cap space and get under the 2nd apron.
The Cavaliers contemplated a Darius Garland for Jrue Holiday swap before ultimately trading for James Harden, per @ChrisFedor
They ultimately determined he wasn’t enough of a reliable offensive engine

honestly all things considered, this is a solid move.
browns get younger, assets to continue rebuilding and get more aligned and with their current trajectory. Rams stay in contention.
🚨🚨🚨
Bombshell: The Browns are finalizing a trade that will send two-time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams, per @rapsheet, @TomPelissero and me.
In exchange for Garrett, the Rams are expected to send Pro-Bowl edge Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick and other draft-pick compensation still being negotiated to the Browns.
delusion bud. we wouldn't have made it past Detroit with DG. would have been clapping from the bench the whole time too. and that's not saying Harden was the answer either.
kenny destroyed this dudes confidence after he was a vital member of the core through the entire regular season.
but sure, rock with Strus and Merrill who are getting absolutely killed on defense and losing their matchup for much of the playoffs so far.
#Cavs Kenny Atkinson on Jaylon Tyson's lack of playing time: "Definitely still in the cards. He's still alive. We'll need him. Don't know if it's tonight, but he's right there. We were playing well with the group we had out there most of the game. He's in the bullpen warming up"
this dude Kenny needs to figure out adjustments SO much quicker. you're losing games you shouldn't because you can't read in-game adjustments until after the fact.
Kenny Atkinson on the loss:
“My only regret is that we stopped moving the ball. It got a little stagnant. I told the guys we played great basketball majority of the game.”
No regret for the 18-1 Knicks run without a timeout called?
we know mofo. but you need to call a fuckin timeout when you're loading momentum, your guys aren't getting stops and your opponent is dangerously cutting into the lead (at home!)
Kenny Atkinson on not calling a timeout:
“I like to hold my timeouts. I try to hold them.”
4 timeouts remaining with 5 minutes of the game left, and Knicks are on a 18-1 run…
atrocious coaching. timeout when they cut it to both 15&10.
make subs, change matchups and refocus the emphasis to double brunson and force the role players to beat you.
also, Mitchell needs to get downhill those last 7mins.

Knicks won.
No lies told…. Also this era of #Cavs basketball in a nutshell-No fire. No killer instinct. No intensity or intentionality. Just a bunch of nice guys hooping. Been the same story for the last 4 years.
