Hang in there Cavs fans

[Heatles84]

I'm feeling generous as I got to watch Lebron lose in the Finals. For some of you, it was a pleasure talking with you this season, particularly the Cavs fans that weren't douchey. Hard to say if you have a bright future ahead or not given a lot of unknown variables. But I guess, so long as you have Lebron, you have a chance.

The Cavs as long as they have Leflop will be in the mix for EC Champs...The Love situation will be interesting if he leaves and Wiggans is looking like a legit 2 way player

It's disappointing to lose in the Finals anytime, even if you are not expecting much.
Next year, I am interested to see what this roster looks like and so the coach can grow. Not wear out these players in the regular season and hopefully keep them healthy.

I had expected the Cavs to get to the Finals- but I was always skeptical that they would finish it off this first year. They did come together as a team faster than I thought they would- but the injuries totally zapped any chance they had at winning the title.

Kyrie's extension kicks in this year so he is signed up for the long haul. I am sure they will prioritize bringing Thompson back and he shares an agent with LeBron so I cannot see him going anywhere.

I think there is a chance Love leaves- but I think there is a better chance he stays.

They CAN afford both Love and Thompson because it will only really cost them majorly one year- since next year the cap goes up to the mid nineties-

I think next year if they do indeed have Love, Thompson, Mozzy and Varejao- that Varejao will get like 20 minutes a night and they will really try and keep him healthy.

Shumpert is restricted- I think the Cavs probably match an offer on him unless it gets insane- which I dont think it will-----and JR Smith is going to opt out of his player option but I would not commit any kind of significant money to him.

I agree.

As far as the bench:

Thompson will be a guy that plays a lot of minutes off the bench or maybe even start.
Miller - he will be around for another year taking up a seat on the bench
Delly - mostly likely will get signed
Shump - hopefully they sign him. good defense, good spark. Coming off the bench or maybe starting.
Varajeo - I can see him coming off the bench now. But another good spark.
Harris - wont get many minutes, but I like him.

Marion - retiring
Jones - not sure about
JR- opting out, not sure if I want him back. Possibly sixth man option.

They need some younger guys that are all around players. Lanky guys, like a Livingston or Iggy type of player. They need more depth, obvious the injuries were an issue.

Starters most likely:

Kyrie
Shump or maybe another free agent?
Lebron
Love
Mozgov
