Cavs having a legit PG that can score would mean....more rest for Lebron. Less pressure on Lebron to have to do all the heavy lifting.  Basically a team similar to the 2015-2017 Cavs (not as good likely but better than the team today)

Would that make you sweat a little?

At this point I’ll always sweat if the C’s go against LeBron James. I dont see him staying in Cleveland though unless he wins the title. Would need Houston to win tonight for that to happen. He would get in Harden’s head.

Celtics add: kyrie, Hayward, theis, Larkin?
Cavs add: trae young


I get where you come from, but Hayward and kyrie alone should put us over the top. We sorely needed someone who can create shots, and these 2 are the best in the business. These 2 will open things up for horford as he got doubled a lot

Lebron doesn't care about young players, though, or at least that has been evident over the last few years in Cleveland, so I don't see as to how getting one of those guys would be enough to entice him to stay with the Cavaliers.

you know .. I don't know anymore.  Freaking Lebron is impossible at this point

Cavs biggest need is a legit scoring PG.  Which Sexton/Young are (top 3 in the draft). 

Means Lebron gets to stroll on the court a little more. More rest etc. 

48 min and he didn't look like he broke a sweat in game 6 and 7. He still has 2-3 good years left as long as he can get that PG (Kyrie like replacement).

The best thing [by far] to come out of this loss against the Cavs is that with a little re-tooling, maybe Lebron believes he can make it work in Cleveland. If he goes to Philly or Houston, we will have a much bigger uphill battle (although, out West HOU and GSW will be battling each other).

Lebron in CLE and BOS adding Hayward and Kyrie is like a dream scenario for Boston fans hoping to make annual trips to the Finals.

This is not true.  And he actually likes Young.  He was apparently pushing for the Cavs to trade for Tatum for Kyrie this past offseason

He doesn't care for Anthony Bennett or Andrew Wiggins.  There is a difference

Assuming our guys stay healthy? No sweat at all.

I haven't seen much of Sexton. His team didn't seem that good in college. I'm always a little nervous about a top 10 pick that wasn't able to win much in college.

I think Trae Young has bust written all over him.

I don't see these rookies impacting CLE's chance of winning all that much next year.

All the bad things people say about Kyrie on defence are 10x more true of Trae Young. Not scared at all, and Kyrie would relish the opportunity to take down Cleveland

We should have won this year. Not worried about who they draft vs who we have coming back.

Is it possible that the cavs draft a stud point guard like sexton then attract paul george? do  they have the ability to pay paul george?

Not unless through trade. They have the highest payroll in the league
