Melo would be free to shoot every time he gets it if he wants. That cleveland team would flow so much better.
Placing Lebron in Melo's shoes would probably make us a playoff team. Lebron needs the triangle to add years into his career. He's working too hard. The triangle would simplify things and make him the primary facilitator as the backstabbing gods intended
Just spitballing here, but why exactly would Melo want to play in Cleveland with BrokeLove and Part-time Kyrie the Very Very Very Rich Man's JR? And waive the NTC so you can play with JR and Shump, again? Maybe he just can't live any longer without getting to play alongside The Moz?
And then there's the great commute to fabulous Cleveland, while reading about LeBron dragging our franchise to the playoffs.
Don't want to be a dick but I never said that they would want to do it or that I wanted them to do it. Just saying it would be a better fit hypothetically.
They came roaring back in the 3rd quarter to go ahead of the Nets, and then got outscored 24-12 in the 4th quarter.
Strange things going on in CavsLand.

Didn't Lebron only get 2 shots in the 4th? Meanwhile Irving took the most shots of the game at 22 and shot woefully.

Did not see the game, but noticed the Cavs 3rd quarter resurgence in the box score. To come back from 10 down at the half and go up by 3 entering the 4th...and then crumble in the 4th to lose by 9, is almost unheard of I would think- especially when you are talking about an NBA finalist team. It is the type of thing you can see a team like the Knicks doing, not a team expecting to reach the NBA finals again.
Irvings lack of passing is a big big problem.
