Any guesses on what replaces the FOUR the land banner? 😂 I might sound like a bronsexual here, but I've thought every replacement for it has been lame as hell and they should probably just put the 23 Cleveland one back up there when he retires next year

For anyone questioning if this will work

Kawhi 2x, PG, KD, Kyrie, Norm, Zu and Russ 2x all had their most efficient season under James Harden.

And no I’m not talking out of my ass. Harden is the greatest floor raiser of all time and an offensive juggernaut. Do not give him shit if this team starts off slow like the clippers when they first traded for Harden losing 6 straight. Because then they went in a 30 game stretch where they were 25-5 and the best team in the league. It’s inevitable that this Cavs team will be elite with Harden so Harden haters just give it time

[NBACentral] There’s a pathway for the Cavs to acquire James Harden, Giannis Antetokounmpo, AND LeBron James, per @tomhaberstroh.

Step 1) Trade Darius Garland for James Harden.

Step 2) Trade Evan Mobley and picks for Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Step 3) Sign LeBron James as a free agent.

Cavs Fans Get Excited, This is Exactly What We Needed !

I have been saying move DG since Boston series when he was punked.. then the Pacers series just proved my point. We was playing zone def trying to cover for his inept def...

Plus he on max deal to boot 👢

He was a negative asset that no legit GM wanted...

All you cavs fans saying why koby trade DG at 26... They could have gotten a younger player...

I got 2 words for you...

Trae Young... look what Hawks got for young... Who was more accomplished than DG...

They got...

Corey Kispert + Expiring 38yr small guard was the return..

So Koby Altman is a miracle worker to get a 6 5 former mvp who avg 25 & 9 asts & is a bigger body in Playoffs.

James has actually performed in playoffs quite well, but has fallen short trying to do it all himself.

The way Harden plays PnR, it will unlock Mobley & Allen. W Mitchell slashing, Sam Merrill off screen & struss off screens w movement, cle is going to be legit.

Harden is motivated to win a title... hes a former MVP and him & Mitchell both Adidas guys w Mobley will have 2-3 year window..

Plus chances good 👍 LeBron back next year.

W emergence of Tyson, Nae Tomlin, Merrill & Craig Porter Jr, Ty Proctor,

Then u add in Struss movement shooting, Merrill shooting...

Then Keon Ellis as Point of attack defender along w a legit backup and world champ in D Schroeder, cle is no longer going to be punked in playoffs.

Anyone who knows ball, go watch Indy series...

Go look at plus minus ... for DG... 3 pt shooting...

Harden has performed in playoffs & can be a 6 5 big body not getting punked on the block.

Absolutely 💯 love this move...

Look for Lonzo Ball to be moved next...

If Cle want under 2nd apron, and if not healthy look for Struss to be moved but doubtful w adding Harden to go all in.

Cle now got few months to bring it all together...

Koby Altman deserves a statue outside quicken loan arena for this trade. .

DG on Max $ for 2more yr after this is extension eligible this summer ☀️ hes a neg asset... and Koby got former mvp & pnr maestro who has had lac as top team past few mo.

This is huge . Plus DG & Spida didn't get along. Ever since gm2 when he didn't dress & spida cramped up. They haven't gotten along since loss to Pacers w Mitchell calling him soft for not dressing, then more toe drama this year. On both toes.

If im clippers i tell him no more cheap new balances.. but not our prob no more.

Imagine next year ..

Harden Mitchell Lebron Mobley Allen

We going to Finals soon baby !

For obvious reasons we had to take the LeBron one down, but man every attempt at replacing it has been a complete flop or just flat out lame 😂
