They lost to the Spurs B team. JR Smith just a waste of space at this point. IT can't guard anybody. Crowder just a big ass shooting guard playing the 4. The Cavs just a mess 😂
FUCK Crowder. Say what you want about Kevin Love, but you don't step over your own man to inbound the ball while they are on the ground. He has no shame. I hope Love gets out of this situation because they treat him like shit and use him as a scapegoat.
Jamie and Jimmy Crowder have to be the worst cavs players, they dont even list these guys on the roster. That's messed up. They have this Jae Crowder guy though.
What’s wrong with Max? A couple of days ago he said it’s normal for the Cavs to lose during the month of January’s every year since Lebron came in. He said it’s his style to preserve his effort, energy and whatever he has co’z his eyes is in the price trophy. So why all of a sudden? We’re still in January Max!! Lolz!!!🤣😂😅
They are not better without Thomas. You basically just blamed their losing slump on Thomas.. They're simply losing games they should win. If the Cavs were really this bad of a team because of Thomas, the man that averaged 30 ppg and led hos team to the #1 seed and conference finals, they'd fall from being a playoff contender. Thomas and Walker are both great players. Max's whole reasoning as to why he suggested they make that trade is atrocious. Kemba is more like Kyrie than Thomas is not a reason to make a trade. It's complete garbage. In reality, the Cavs need to trade Love. Max knows this and that's why he tried to use Thomas, who's played like 1 month.., as the scapegoat. Trade Love and possibly the first round pick for an actual star.
I've been saying it all year. CROWDER IS A SIX FOOT SIX SHOOTING GUARD. at max he's a small forward. WHY ARE WE PUTTING HIM AT THE FOUR. kevin love is a 6'8 - 6'9 power forward. WHY IS HE OUR CENTER. seriously anyone with a brain who understands basketball would change the lineup and if it means firing Ty Lue, then do it. It is ridiculous now.
Yeah idk why he would say that for a black dominant league wtf. And he was talking about it on a marketing stand point like wtf? I see no white famous player in my tv ads lol
Lebron James is the worst defensive Player i ve ever seen . Not 1 on 1 , but he never box out , never make the extra step from the helpside and doesnt close out on the shooter . It's crazy how bad he is effort vise.
He playing like hes legs are gone...if he plays on both side at a high level he would be done by halftime. I would reduce his minutes to like 29/30 from 38.
G. Red but it's because anybody else on his teammate ain't playing defense they being lazy so that make him lazy to because you know LeBron James is a great defender heater made all NBA defensive team before
thomassin58 boxout, help defense and close out is about him self and is not a Team effort . Lebron James playes the 4 spot now and he have to box out and help protecting the rim. I watched the Cavs all season long and i can tell , Lebron is a defensive problem .
It’s cuz he’s played 15 years and trying to save his energy to last a long time in the league. No excuse but you gotta remember he’s been to 7 straight finals. Dude has to be out of it mentally sometimes
bclambert2 so why you take so much minutes when you can't help your team half of the time . The energie rises when the second unite comes in and is even better offensive .lebrons style to play doesn't work when the shooters don't make the shots.
Brandon Figueroa agree. He wants it all but the so called King won't even commit. Drama queen instead. Dan Gilbert overpaid TT and JR because of LeBron wants his boys to get paid. And bronsexuals be like, LeBron is the guy to build around. Lol
At this point they need to just have a fire sale. Hate to say it. With how Love is being blackballed by the locker room and how Isiah doesn't fit, trade them both and ask LeBron to waive his no trade clause. Send Isiah off to Charlotte for Kemba and Batum, send Love somewhere like the Lakers for some picks and Randle/Ingram. Maybe even see if a LeBron would be traded to another Eastern team like the Bucks for some picks and perhaps Jabari Parker. I had hopes for this team and hopped they would get rid of JR, Shump and Frye because they are dead weight. But at this point it seems Cavs should unload and rebuild witu picks. Rebuilding with Kemba and Batum along with Ingram or Randle wouldn't be too bad in the east. LeBron would have a better shot on a team like the Bucks with his pal Bledsoe.
I appreciate the candid commentary on Love and his "assets." GM's and owners consider the total value when they make personnel decisions. Imagining a world where ones ethnicity is not a factor. The question was about Ty Lue making lineup changes, not management concerns. Start a true big to help defend. If that big can pick and roll the Cavs might be in business. Who you got? Only other possible change is taking JR out of the starting lineup. You had a winning streak with Jose. You can defend better with wade. Korver opens up the floor. Choose wisely Lue. Your job depends upon it.
Matt BrakkinBack stephen think everything is about race. You could ask him how hes doing he'd say idk man your white and im black so obviously you're doing better. Dude is a straight up dumb ass
He's blinded. Yes, white people have it better than blacks in different ways but the NBA is not one of them. Stephen thinks whites always have the advantage, which just isn't true. White players have to prove themselves way more these days. Look at Porzingis. The media gives him some credit but they are so quick to choose a black players that is close but not as good, over Porzingis 9 outta 10 times. White people are way more likely to not care about a player being black. Than black people are about a player being white. It's just facts. If he was solely talking about international appeal, I'd mostly agree with him but he's just a race baitor.
If I was Dab Gilbert, I would look to see if Lebron would wave his no trade clause and call the Spurs for a trade for Kawhi Leonard. As reported, Kawhi is unhappy with the Spurs and Lebron said that he would love to play for Pop.
PG- Isaiah Thomas SG- Jae Crowder SF- Lebron James PF- Kevin Love C- DeAndre Jordan This would be a killer lineup, Love at Center is not working because we are getting out rebounded like shit.
So without making any trades and working with what you got, here is what I would try as far as addressing the starting line up. Play LeBron as a point forward, he is still at small forward, playing basically the point guard role where I think he is happiest and plays the best with this squad, play Love at power forward - his natural position, I would give Zizic a try at center, he played really well in the summer league, but definitely have Thompson at backup, and here is where I really shake it up, I would start Green at shooting guard and Wade at the point but of course playing as a shooting guard. Green is very athletic and I think he could play the 2, 3, or 4 spots, keep Wade and LeBron on the court at the same time as much as you can, they are magic together. It's like having Pippen and Jordan. And I would have Korver, IT, Rose, and Crowder in the rotation, their minutes based on how well they are playing of course. I think this line up would really be good against a lot of teams especially the Warriors.
jaliu ok first I watch a lot of sport and I watch the media play into a negative but convince narrative of lebron James because of his greatness we fell to realize that he is not the one call shot if he was up to him they still have krie and and a nother all star not Kevin love the media make u think his running thing but it make no logic sense they even say him and Dan Gilbert don't get along
Isaiah Thomas gets no respect from anyone. Because he's 5'9 he doesn't deserve his money? Because he's 5'9 Kemba Walker and Kyrie Irving are better than him? Because he's 5'9 all he's worth is being a trade asset? He just got back from a hip injury and aren't giving him any credit.
Because he's a defensive liability, if he's not scoring 30 pts he's useless to any team trying to win a chip. Also his height is not an excuse to defend or to at least improve on defense, Avery Bradley was only 5' 10" and was able to hold his own defensively, he even ended up winning a ring with the Spurs so it can be done.
If i was cavs gm i would tell Lebron "i' m sick of your shit" and then trade IT and Love for picks and young guys. Cuz you ain' t gonna get the help you need even if you trade so just trade everyone while they have some trade value.
I keep saying Isaiah thomas is a true 6th man in the NBA..he scores in bunches just like lou williams, E gordon etc..he just had the green light on Boston cause they had no #1 option..he is best coming off the bench.just like in Sac and in Phx..he is a 2 guard in a 5'9 body
Kemba & Howard for Shump, big mugsy & Tristian Kardashian contract's are almost equal (6M jordan saves next year) but still feel free to include Batum for somene or picks :P
This is easy to change. All everyone has to do is play their position. If they want to play 'Bron at pg, then start Jeff Green at Small Fwd with Thompson and Love at the pf and c spots. You can do what you want at the 2 spot but Isaiah should come off the bench for offense. If you'll keep a traditional lineup, then start IT at point guard with Wade, Bron, Love, and Thompson.
I'm proud of you Stephen A when max first came on this show he used to have the edge and fuck you up almost every show as of late you've been on a roll keep it up kinda reminds me of when you used to correct skip all the time only difference is max isn't completely oblivious to reality
The only cancer to this team are TT and JR to me. They're not putting in work. Zizic needs more minutes at center! Green is better than TT and has proven in every way possible that he's a great player and can fit in the starting line. Heck I would even pick Channing Frye over TT. Too many better options than TT. The only reason TT and JR still there is because they're good friends to Bron. Smh I'm so annoyed Stop blaming LeBron and Love, they're doing what they can
The real issue with the Cavs is the coaching staff is trying to play a death line up all season and its not working. They need to stop focusing on the Warriors so much and play the game right. The Cavs have two players out of position. Kevin Love is NOT a center and Jae Crowder is NOT a Power Forward. Cavs need to grab Dewayne Dedmon from Atlanta and add another SG like Kent Baze more.
If kyrie can play like a MVP Brown and Tatum develop well Hayward comes back to full strength come playoff time And the bench stays this good I can see the celtics losing in 4
Best move for the Cavs: Step 1) Trade LeBron for a couple of superstars and some other guys Step 2) Trade JR, TT and IT for some other guys Step 3) Beat LeBron’s new team Step 4) Wait until the end of the season Step 5) Sign LeBron on free agency! Boom! Now you have a bunch of superstars and LeBron! If you are a bit slow and didn’t notice this was joke I will write it out here: IT WAS A JOKE!
I don't understand why you would wanna trade Love if your trying to win a championship considering he has been solid. Bench JR, bring Korver back into the offense, tell IT to pass the ball, make Love a part of the offense again like when they where on a 18-1 run. Issues are now solved
We're not even at the All Star Break and all hell breaking loose.. It's a joke. This commentary is just necessary to keep these shows relevant. Cavs still coming out the east..
Dan Gilbert should just convince Lebron and ask if he wants to be traded to Pelicans or another competitor. Cavs should get rid of their assets and start rebuilding. Trade Lebron for some expiring contract and some picks. Trade TT, Love, Jr, Shumpert for similar trade and get picks. Cause if Dan Gilbert didn't do that they will just lose Lebron and be stuck with old useless player. The Brow, Boogie with Lebron? That would be unstoppable
Mr. Cho I like the idea but the problem will be the salary cap.. unless the rest of the team will be rookies, sophomores or bench players of weak teams..
as a former vancouver grizzlie fan who stopped watching the nba after they hi jacked our franchise to memphis... i started watching again when lebron returned to cleveland cause i thought it was a noble team to cheer for (as cleveland had never won a championship) kyrie soon became my favourite player along with wetsbrook and lebron lebron and kyrie BOTH inspired me greatly in their playoff runs ... i thought they were tight based on how they played on the court... i thought they were the best duo ever since kobe shaq. i thought kyrie was a strong candidate for finals mvp the year they won... i thought he waasnt getting enough props all along, as player rankings had him in the 20's instead of the top 10 were talking about kyrie irving - THE BEST HANDLES OF ALL TIME - THE BEST FINISHER IN NBA FINALS HISTORY - THE BEST FINISHER AROUND THE RIM (no fluke shots) LEFT and RIGHT HANDED and yet - everyone gave lebron ALLL THE CREDIT and nobody on this show gave kyrie props - they still question him Look - the dude is 6'1 ... it's not easy being small in a league of giants - but he is a magician, a wizard and the most talented ball handler in the league of all time! plus he's clutch - u can never replace that... a whole generation may go by and never see a player like that again... he's better one on one than steph the chef curry and you ddont igve him any props or love so he decides to leave... then the stupid GMS trade him for scraps, like hes replaceable - the only players worth trading him for would have been pg13, jimmy butler, boogie cousins or AD - thats it no5'8 player with a DISLOCATED HIP! no future picks u would only hope turn into a player NEAR Kyrie Irvings level how bad of a basketball observer did you have to be to throw him away for scraps? in retrospect when people watch footage they will realize the cavs owners and gm had major opportunity to treat Kyrie right AND KEEP HIM and instead they did neither, nor did they trade him for a solid top 10 player, and they shot themselves in the foot. nobody can do what kyrie does. why is it so complicated for everyone to see that?! horrible management and gm maneuvre- youd think they were tutored in the art of GMing by stu jackson
Wilt Chamberlain reached 30,000 points in 941 games. It took LeBron James 1107 games and no one can touch him. I'm always amazed by the so called pundits dissing Wilt.
THIS IS WHAT THE STARTING LINEUP SHOULD HAVE BEEN SINCE THE BEGINING OF THE DAMN SEASON PG.D Rose or Calderon (at least they play defense keep IT on the bench until he gets 100% he takes bad shots and until he learns he isnt the 2nd best player on the team we gonna keep losing) SG. Wade (Have Korver come off the bench as the SG JR doesnt get no minutes) SF LBJ (Have Cedi Osman come off the bench as the backuo SF he has size and soeed the kid is nice) PF. Jeff Green (have crowder come off the bench for the pf dude doesnt get buckets anyway) C.Love (keep K Love at Center until we can get a legitimate rim protecting big)
The problem is they keep adding all these players to contend with the west but it's not just about superstars their not given these guys time to get any chemistry together they shooting their self in the foot insted of finding out what rotation works the best
If you're going to do the Kemba trade, why batum? Why not try and get Dwight Howard, would definitely be your inside presence. Isaiah, Thompson and Calderon and a Clevelands 1st rounder Walker, MCW, and Dwight.
Al Coholic, at the end of the day your correct. His color should have nothing to do w/it. I did feel like it wasn't absolutely needed. But I understand the point sas was making. Market value wise klove is an outstanding player, and sas wants to show how candid he can be...which also helps his market stock. He using the 48 laws of power strategically. - DJ Fact
I just don't understand how Max can just blatantly call Lebron the goat of the era but suggest that he goes to San Antonio to make a super team with pop and Kawhi but yet he still shades KD to this day for going to the warriors. At least KD told the truth and said he doesn't wanna be the man. Lebron actually thinks he's the goat with all these excuses and help he gets. I'm sorry but if Mj and Kobe had the opportunities, teammates and excuses Lebron had throughout his career, Kobe would probably be 7-2 in the finals and Mj would be 10 - 0 in the finals
LeBron is ten times better than kobe. Kobe cried like a little girl to get traded lol. MJ is just MJ I will not take nothing away from him, he was the man. Just not better than LeBron
Lol what's a super team bro the warriors no one else is actually a super team. Lol Jordan is the goat and only went to 6 finals what's the excuse for that? Kobe wasn't even the best player for three of his championships why? You sound foolish
DJ Envy LeBron James go to any team t at least to the NBA final he can make the worst team to a championship Contender so what the f*** you talking about put some respect in LeBron names he is better than overrated Jordan and Kobe
you are right so many straight finals and taking a trash team to finals (the first time around when he was with the cavs) at a SUPER young age doesn't say anything about his leadership. yep that makes a lot of sense when you hate someone to the point that you ignore all facts.
I hate how kevin love is on the trade block. Hes probably been one of the most consistent cavs players behind bron and kyrie. If it wasn't for love they wouldn't have a ring
It been time to switch that lineup up they been struggling all season, the beginning of the season started off slow cus “preseason “ they just not fittin together
The Cavs NEED a lineup change. But then the question becomes how? LBJ, Love and Crowder aren't going to be bench. IT and JR Smith could use some bench time, but the problem is they have no one to replace them with. Talked about this on my channel today.
Cleveland has players , they just need to up the effort , boost morale and develop chemistry. Everyone just needs to look into a mirror and put the fingers down.
Anybody else notice how much Steven A Smith brings up race nowadays? I never remember him bringing race into every debate back when skip was there or hell before "black lives matter" came about but now it's brought into every debate and every radio show he has
All you gotta do is move kevin love back to power forward and get a center like marc gasol then get jae crowder and Jr smith out of the starting lineup
If only Dan Gilbert convinced LeThankYouToMyYoungSelf to waive his no trade clause and trade him instead of Kyrie then the Cavs will be cruising and winning the East. Kyrie exposed LeHelp. The dude doesn't even play defense but let's blame IT and KLove. Stop it!!
When they let RJ go they start falling apart. RJ & Frye was a big part of that locker room chemistry, players have said it. Kyrie & RJ gone are a big part of the breakdown on this team, notice all the team pics, parties, family feeling is gone.
Lebron for Kawhi! Make it happen. Kawhi unhappy, and Lebron most likely leaving anyways. Win , win in both situations. Pop and Lebron would be scary like Kobe and Phil
Don't play Jr Smith or Tristan Kardashian pretty simple
G Money true
G Money isn’t she pregnant with Tristan’s baby
Or Frye, or Shumpert, or Korver (yeah I said it)
Lol most of the roster is unplayable at this point. Might as well include Rose, Shumpert, Claderon, Isaiah (yes i said it), and Jae Crowder
Trade them all to the Utah jazz😂😂😂
They lost to the Spurs B team. JR Smith just a waste of space at this point. IT can't guard anybody. Crowder just a big ass shooting guard playing the 4. The Cavs just a mess 😂
Facts they need to get rid or jr he’s either in a shooting slump or he just doesn’t got it any more. The whole team don’t play defense.
grover henry, including LeBron
but, but, but, i thought this was the best team lebron has ever had and the deepest
sthao1 who the hell said that? Lol
FUCK Crowder. Say what you want about Kevin Love, but you don't step over your own man to inbound the ball while they are on the ground. He has no shame. I hope Love gets out of this situation because they treat him like shit and use him as a scapegoat.
Jamie Crowder...
D. gray Idk why he always calls him Jamie 😂😂
lol he does it every time he talks about him
thats his real name Jay is what they call him for short u big dummy
Eric Iverson, his real name is Corey... not Jamie "u big dummy"
His real name is Corey ......
Jamie and Jimmy Crowder have to be the worst cavs players, they dont even list these guys on the roster. That's messed up. They have this Jae Crowder guy though.
What does Klove being white have anything to do with it
Well as far as marketability goes he’s technically right on this. He’s just being straight imo that’s the world we live in really
Eh this is insanely naive if you don't believe a white player is generally sold better to fans and better for marketability
He's good looking. No homo.
+Lord HarryPotter really?? but arent the most marketed players black, so wtf are u talking about
Lord HarryPotter 😂 no they're not
Tyronn Lue for Coach of the Year
Max is definitely right. They were better without I.T. Kemba is much better than Calderon.
Problem is I dont think the hornets will give kemba walker up for I.T.
What’s wrong with Max? A couple of days ago he said it’s normal for the Cavs to lose during the month of January’s every year since Lebron came in. He said it’s his style to preserve his effort, energy and whatever he has co’z his eyes is in the price trophy. So why all of a sudden? We’re still in January Max!! Lolz!!!🤣😂😅
Remington Steele Then let I.T. walk. Max explained why they wanna trade Kemba.
Xc Williams
Saying Kemba is better than Calderon is like saying shit smells like shit 😂
They are not better without Thomas. You basically just blamed their losing slump on Thomas.. They're simply losing games they should win. If the Cavs were really this bad of a team because of Thomas, the man that averaged 30 ppg and led hos team to the #1 seed and conference finals, they'd fall from being a playoff contender.

Trade Love and possibly the first round pick for an actual star.
I'm starting to think Jamie Crowder is a real player no one knows about.
Your Angry Friend lol
I've been saying it all year. CROWDER IS A SIX FOOT SIX SHOOTING GUARD. at max he's a small forward. WHY ARE WE PUTTING HIM AT THE FOUR. kevin love is a 6'8 - 6'9 power forward. WHY IS HE OUR CENTER. seriously anyone with a brain who understands basketball would change the lineup and if it means firing Ty Lue, then do it. It is ridiculous now.
Baller_Eli they're tryna play small
Size isnt the reason y'all are playing bad lol
Lue is incompetent, simple.
NBAofficialNoWhistle Definately contributes to their shitty defence.
Draymond green is a 6’7 PF who plays centers often bruh lol
"Who happens to be white" Are you kidding me Stephen A Smith? Smh
Who had 4:25 in the Stephen A "Race card pool"? You win!
Stephen A Smith has to stop bringing up the fact that Kevin Love is white. Makes him look a lil ignorant
Real talk
yo dev but its the truth tho.
he doesn't need that to be ignorant lol
yo dev, he's using the 48 laws of power. The proof is in provoking comments from his comment. It helps keep him relevant. - DJ Facts
Yeah idk why he would say that for a black dominant league wtf. And he was talking about it on a marketing stand point like wtf? I see no white famous player in my tv ads lol
Ain't Jae Crowder name Corey? Why does Stephen A insist on calling him Jamie 🤣🤣
Right!
Shit be having me in tears
He called him Jamie AGAIN????????
Molly AAIIGGHHHT, she aight.... still got Joy > Molly
Alberto Entertainment molly look like an old woman g 😂 joy bad af
Joy is killing Molly.. shouldnt even be a debate
joy is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ricochetrabitt facts molly is wifey material
Nah joy fat and a bitch
Jamie crowder?
Brandon Johnson 😂
thats his real name jay is for short
Eric Iverson bro his name Corey
Stephen A’s 10th consecutive week calling Jae Crowder “ Jimmy “ crowder.
Luis Martinez he cant pronounce A's
cooliehimarley 7 “jaer crowder”
kefkapalazzo1 i mean honestly you cant pronounce a letter all you have yo say is j the a and e is silent my god
Jr smith is a bum, he played over 20 minutes and scored zero points yesterday. Trade Isaiah thomas and tristan thompson.
I can probably find better leftovers in a trashcan than Jr. Smith at this point.
Yes JR been a bum only time he ever started was in Cleveland
Lebron James is the worst defensive Player i ve ever seen . Not 1 on 1 , but he never box out , never make the extra step from the helpside and doesnt close out on the shooter . It's crazy how bad he is effort vise.
He playing like hes legs are gone...if he plays on both side at a high level he would be done by halftime.
I would reduce his minutes to like 29/30 from 38.
G. Red but it's because anybody else on his teammate ain't playing defense they being lazy so that make him lazy to because you know LeBron James is a great defender heater made all NBA defensive team before
thomassin58 boxout, help defense and close out is about him self and is not a Team effort . Lebron James playes the 4 spot now and he have to box out and help protecting the rim. I watched the Cavs all season long and i can tell , Lebron is a defensive problem .
It’s cuz he’s played 15 years and trying to save his energy to last a long time in the league. No excuse but you gotta remember he’s been to 7 straight finals. Dude has to be out of it mentally sometimes
bclambert2 so why you take so much minutes when you can't help your team half of the time . The energie rises when the second unite comes in and is even better offensive .lebrons style to play doesn't work when the shooters don't make the shots.
Put JR out of the starting lineup. You can’t have him starting over a future HOF in Dwayne Wade
The real problem is the uncertainty of lebrons decision in the offseason🤷🏽♂️
Brandon Figueroa agree. He wants it all but the so called King won't even commit. Drama queen instead. Dan Gilbert overpaid TT and JR because of LeBron wants his boys to get paid.
And bronsexuals be like, LeBron is the guy to build around. Lol
fire tye lue and hire fizdale or mark jackson
Love should go back to Minnesota
MrCris487
Teague
Wiggins
Butler
Love
KAT
Would be an insane starting 5
wvang0013 wolves get love Cavs get cole Aldrich 🤔
MrCris487 haha they wouldn’t have him
Jr smith zero points again!!!! Ty lue won't make changes all season till now???
At this point they need to just have a fire sale. Hate to say it. With how Love is being blackballed by the locker room and how Isiah doesn't fit, trade them both and ask LeBron to waive his no trade clause. Send Isiah off to Charlotte for Kemba and Batum, send Love somewhere like the Lakers for some picks and Randle/Ingram. Maybe even see if a LeBron would be traded to another Eastern team like the Bucks for some picks and perhaps Jabari Parker. I had hopes for this team and hopped they would get rid of JR, Shump and Frye because they are dead weight. But at this point it seems Cavs should unload and rebuild witu picks. Rebuilding with Kemba and Batum along with Ingram or Randle wouldn't be too bad in the east. LeBron would have a better shot on a team like the Bucks with his pal Bledsoe.
“If I’m Dan Gilbert, I’d go to LeBron James and ask him to waive his no trade clause”
“It won’t work” ah that sounds like a fantastic plan Stephen A
Everyday i watch this shows hear stephen a say outrageous things 4:22 and it gives me hope that one day i can have my own sports show
I appreciate the candid commentary on Love and his "assets." GM's and owners consider the total value when they make personnel decisions. Imagining a world where ones ethnicity is not a factor. The question was about Ty Lue making lineup changes, not management concerns. Start a true big to help defend. If that big can pick and roll the Cavs might be in business. Who you got? Only other possible change is taking JR out of the starting lineup. You had a winning streak with Jose. You can defend better with wade. Korver opens up the floor. Choose wisely Lue. Your job depends upon it.
I love "LeBron needs more help" SZN so much lmaooo. After EVERY MLK Day game/week. Like clockwork
4:23 SAS brining race up again...
Why we gotta add he white🤦♂️
Matt BrakkinBack stephen think everything is about race. You could ask him how hes doing he'd say idk man your white and im black so obviously you're doing better. Dude is a straight up dumb ass
White American NBA Players are declining
Stephen A sees the world in Black vs a white. Wants equality but keeps perpetuating racial divides.
Jared Garrett LMAO
He's blinded. Yes, white people have it better than blacks in different ways but the NBA is not one of them. Stephen thinks whites always have the advantage, which just isn't true. White players have to prove themselves way more these days. Look at Porzingis. The media gives him some credit but they are so quick to choose a black players that is close but not as good, over Porzingis 9 outta 10 times. White people are way more likely to not care about a player being black. Than black people are about a player being white. It's just facts. If he was solely talking about international appeal, I'd mostly agree with him but he's just a race baitor.
Obvious trade: Tyrone lue for Kenny fizdale
If I was Dab Gilbert, I would look to see if Lebron would wave his no trade clause and call the Spurs for a trade for Kawhi Leonard. As reported, Kawhi is unhappy with the Spurs and Lebron said that he would love to play for Pop.
PG- Isaiah Thomas

This would be a killer lineup, Love at Center is not working because we are getting out rebounded like shit.
So without making any trades and working with what you got, here is what I would try as far as addressing the starting line up.

It's like having Pippen and Jordan. And I would have Korver, IT, Rose, and Crowder in the rotation, their minutes based on how well they are playing of course. I think this line up would really be good against a lot of teams especially the Warriors.
Omg lebron is not the issue it's ownership and coaching smh how are we trying to blame the guy that got them where they at. Tell be dead last
Matt BrakkinBack he chose this team and coach plus got them huge contracts so now theyre stuck
Its Lebron fault plays no defense and stat padds Faxxxx
You said it right 👍
Matt BrakkinBack uh, LeBron is ownership and coaching. He calls the shots and they do everything to appease him... Do you even follow the NBA...
jaliu ok first I watch a lot of sport and I watch the media play into a negative but convince narrative of lebron James because of his greatness we fell to realize that he is not the one call shot if he was up to him they still have krie and and a nother all star not Kevin love the media make u think his running thing but it make no logic sense they even say him and Dan Gilbert don't get along

Isaiah Thomas gets no respect from anyone. Because he's 5'9 he doesn't deserve his money? Because he's 5'9 Kemba Walker and Kyrie Irving are better than him? Because he's 5'9 all he's worth is being a trade asset? He just got back from a hip injury and aren't giving him any credit.
Dreams NVA facts
Because he's a defensive liability, if he's not scoring 30 pts he's useless to any team trying to win a chip.
Also his height is not an excuse to defend or to at least improve on defense, Avery Bradley was only 5' 10" and was able to hold his own defensively, he even ended up winning a ring with the Spurs so it can be done.
Should have never left Miami
If i was cavs gm i would tell Lebron "i' m sick of your shit" and then trade IT and Love for picks and young guys. Cuz you ain' t gonna get the help you need even if you trade so just trade everyone while they have some trade value.
Jordan will not give up Kemba for IT. Jordan is on record saying he will only consider trading Kemba for a current All Star.
Here’s the new lineup that should be made
PG: Thomas
SG: Wade
SF: Lebron
PF: Green
C: Love
Lmao did anyone else crack the f up when JR shot it at the side of the backboard 😂
I keep saying Isaiah thomas is a true 6th man in the NBA..he scores in bunches just like lou williams, E gordon etc..he just had the green light on Boston cause they had no #1 option..he is best coming off the bench.just like in Sac and in Phx..he is a 2 guard in a 5'9 body
Again with the race card
Jonathan Sosa He’s trolling, he’s got to be...
Kemba & Howard for Shump, big mugsy & Tristian Kardashian contract's are almost equal (6M jordan saves next year) but still feel free to include Batum for somene or picks :P
Isaiah thomas is arrogant and thinks he is better than he is, same with jr smith.
This is easy to change. All everyone has to do is play their position. If they want to play 'Bron at pg, then start Jeff Green at Small Fwd with Thompson and Love at the pf and c spots. You can do what you want at the 2 spot but Isaiah should come off the bench for offense. If you'll keep a traditional lineup, then start IT at point guard with Wade, Bron, Love, and Thompson.
Yes the Batum an Kimba deal would Be super Beneficial
I'm proud of you Stephen A when max first came on this show he used to have the edge and fuck you up almost every show as of late you've been on a roll keep it up kinda reminds me of when you used to correct skip all the time only difference is max isn't completely oblivious to reality
The only cancer to this team are TT and JR to me. They're not putting in work.
Zizic needs more minutes at center! Green is better than TT and has proven in every way possible that he's a great player and can fit in the starting line. Heck I would even pick Channing Frye over TT. Too many better options than TT. The only reason TT and JR still there is because they're good friends to Bron. Smh I'm so annoyed
Stop blaming LeBron and Love, they're doing what they can
One day I would like to hear about someone other than the Cavs and the Lakers.
Starters: D. Rose PG, King James SG, Jeff Green SF, Double T PF, K Love C !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ASAP
Isaiah Thomas for Kemba.... What U smoking Max? Thomas is better than Kemba
The real issue with the Cavs is the coaching staff is trying to play a death line up all season and its not working. They need to stop focusing on the Warriors so much and play the game right. The Cavs have two players out of position. Kevin Love is NOT a center and Jae Crowder is NOT a Power Forward. Cavs need to grab Dewayne Dedmon from Atlanta and add another SG like Kent Baze more.
Trade lebron!!
FLY YORK CITY right
If kyrie can play like a MVP
Brown and Tatum develop well
Hayward comes back to full strength come playoff time
And the bench stays this good
I can see the celtics losing in 4
Lehelp
its polo 😂😂 first time i heard that one
#Gold
its polo trade lebron
Best move for the Cavs:
Step 1) Trade LeBron for a couple of superstars and some other guys
Step 2) Trade JR, TT and IT for some other guys
Step 3) Beat LeBron’s new team
Step 4) Wait until the end of the season
Step 5) Sign LeBron on free agency!
Boom! Now you have a bunch of superstars and LeBron!
If you are a bit slow and didn’t notice this was joke I will write it out here:
IT WAS A JOKE!
I don't understand why you would wanna trade Love if your trying to win a championship considering he has been solid.
Bench JR, bring Korver back into the offense, tell IT to pass the ball, make Love a part of the offense again like when they where on a 18-1 run. Issues are now solved
Gregg Popovich doppelganger at 3:12
If they go after Kemba, take on Dwight and/or MKG’s contract. Dwight gives them rim protection. Kidd-Gilchrist provides defense
We're not even at the All Star Break and all hell breaking loose.. It's a joke. This commentary is just necessary to keep these shows relevant. Cavs still coming out the east..
Starting line up PG Isaiah SG Wade SF LBJ PF Jeff Green C Kevin Love
Dan Gilbert should just convince Lebron and ask if he wants to be traded to Pelicans or another competitor. Cavs should get rid of their assets and start rebuilding. Trade Lebron for some expiring contract and some picks. Trade TT, Love, Jr, Shumpert for similar trade and get picks. Cause if Dan Gilbert didn't do that they will just lose Lebron and be stuck with old useless player. The Brow, Boogie with Lebron? That would be unstoppable
Mr. Cho I like the idea but the problem will be the salary cap.. unless the rest of the team will be rookies, sophomores or bench players of weak teams..
as a former vancouver grizzlie fan who stopped watching the nba after they hi jacked our franchise to memphis...
i started watching again when lebron returned to cleveland cause i thought it was a noble team to cheer for (as cleveland had never won a championship)
kyrie soon became my favourite player along with wetsbrook and lebron
lebron and kyrie BOTH inspired me greatly in their playoff runs ... i thought they were tight based on how they played on the court... i thought they were the best duo ever since kobe shaq.
i thought kyrie was a strong candidate for finals mvp the year they won... i thought he waasnt getting enough props all along, as player rankings had him in the 20's instead of the top 10
were talking about kyrie irving - THE BEST HANDLES OF ALL TIME - THE BEST FINISHER IN NBA FINALS HISTORY - THE BEST FINISHER AROUND THE RIM (no fluke shots) LEFT and RIGHT HANDED
and yet - everyone gave lebron ALLL THE CREDIT
and nobody on this show gave kyrie props - they still question him
Look - the dude is 6'1 ... it's not easy being small in a league of giants - but he is a magician, a wizard and the most talented ball handler in the league of all time! plus he's clutch - u can never replace that... a whole generation may go by and never see a player like that again... he's better one on one than steph the chef curry
and you ddont igve him any props or love so he decides to leave...
then the stupid GMS trade him for scraps, like hes replaceable - the only players worth trading him for would have been pg13, jimmy butler, boogie cousins or AD - thats it
no5'8 player with a DISLOCATED HIP! no future picks u would only hope turn into a player NEAR Kyrie Irvings level
how bad of a basketball observer did you have to be to throw him away for scraps?
in retrospect when people watch footage they will realize the cavs owners and gm had major opportunity to treat Kyrie right AND KEEP HIM and instead they did neither, nor did they trade him for a solid top 10 player, and they shot themselves in the foot.
nobody can do what kyrie does. why is it so complicated for everyone to see that?!
horrible management and gm maneuvre- youd think they were tutored in the art of GMing by stu jackson
Wilt Chamberlain reached 30,000 points in 941 games. It took LeBron James 1107 games and no one can touch him. I'm always amazed by the so called pundits dissing Wilt.
Kevin Love for Serge Ibaka and Raptors First Round Pick.
So many Kevin Love trades they can make
Kevin Love for Paul George
Kevin Love for Devin Booker
Kevin Love for Deandre Jordan
THIS IS WHAT THE STARTING LINEUP SHOULD HAVE BEEN SINCE THE BEGINING OF THE DAMN SEASON PG.D Rose or Calderon (at least they play defense keep IT on the bench until he gets 100% he takes bad shots and until he learns he isnt the 2nd best player on the team we gonna keep losing) SG. Wade (Have Korver come off the bench as the SG JR doesnt get no minutes) SF LBJ (Have Cedi Osman come off the bench as the backuo SF he has size and soeed the kid is nice) PF. Jeff Green (have crowder come off the bench for the pf dude doesnt get buckets anyway) C.Love (keep K Love at Center until we can get a legitimate rim protecting big)
Crowder, IT and Frye for Kemba and Batum
The problem is they keep adding all these players to contend with the west but it's not just about superstars their not given these guys time to get any chemistry together they shooting their self in the foot insted of finding out what rotation works the best
If you're going to do the Kemba trade, why batum? Why not try and get Dwight Howard, would definitely be your inside presence.
Isaiah, Thompson and Calderon and a Clevelands 1st rounder
Walker, MCW, and Dwight.
Love, Thompson, korver, Crowder and LeBron.
Al Coholic, at the end of the day your correct. His color should have nothing to do w/it. I did feel like it wasn't absolutely needed. But I understand the point sas was making. Market value wise klove is an outstanding player, and sas wants to show how candid he can be...which also helps his market stock. He using the 48 laws of power strategically. - DJ Fact
Celtics Vs Warriors..NBA Finals 2018..Tune in this Saturday night for a preview.
I just don't understand how Max can just blatantly call Lebron the goat of the era but suggest that he goes to San Antonio to make a super team with pop and Kawhi but yet he still shades KD to this day for going to the warriors. At least KD told the truth and said he doesn't wanna be the man. Lebron actually thinks he's the goat with all these excuses and help he gets. I'm sorry but if Mj and Kobe had the opportunities, teammates and excuses Lebron had throughout his career, Kobe would probably be 7-2 in the finals and Mj would be 10 - 0 in the finals
LeBron is ten times better than kobe. Kobe cried like a little girl to get traded lol. MJ is just MJ I will not take nothing away from him, he was the man. Just not better than LeBron
Michael Jokedan Not My Goat W
MrAVGNdude lol MJ 10-0 your crazy he would not have beaten the warriors with kd lol
MrAVGNdude #FuckKevinDurant #Fuckgoldenstate
Lol what's a super team bro the warriors no one else is actually a super team. Lol Jordan is the goat and only went to 6 finals what's the excuse for that? Kobe wasn't even the best player for three of his championships why? You sound foolish
i been saying this for months only PGs i woulda traded Kyrie are Dame and kemba
KLove and some loose change for AD. He could play well in New Orleans and Cavs need a guy who can actually play his position.
Lebron is overrated as a leader. He's lowkey getting exposed this season
DJ Envy Do you play power forward for them or something??? You don’t know what he’s been doing in the locker room
Warren Pricefield
hes the ball massage boy for the cavs, he knows ;)
DJ Envy y do u think that and I'm a piston fan ?
DJ Envy LeBron James go to any team t at least to the NBA final he can make the worst team to a championship Contender so what the f*** you talking about put some respect in LeBron names he is better than overrated Jordan and Kobe
you are right so many straight finals and taking a trash team to finals (the first time around when he was with the cavs) at a SUPER young age doesn't say anything about his leadership. yep that makes a lot of sense when you hate someone to the point that you ignore all facts.
I hate how kevin love is on the trade block. Hes probably been one of the most consistent cavs players behind bron and kyrie. If it wasn't for love they wouldn't have a ring
Move D-Wade to starter until you can trade J.R. or get a SG out of a trade and move Love back to PF and TT to Centre.
It been time to switch that lineup up they been struggling all season, the beginning of the season started off slow cus “preseason “ they just not fittin together
Hey every time the Cavs hit a "rut" SAS always go straight to trade Kevin love. I think it would make more sense to trade Isaiah for kemba
The Cavs NEED a lineup change. But then the question becomes how? LBJ, Love and Crowder aren't going to be bench. IT and JR Smith could use some bench time, but the problem is they have no one to replace them with.
Talked about this on my channel today.
Molly saw Jalen in the background at 0:10
Cleveland has players , they just need to up the effort , boost morale and develop chemistry. Everyone just needs to look into a mirror and put the fingers down.
D.ROSE... D.WADE ...LEBRON JAMES ...JEFF GREEN ....KEVIN LOVE
UNTIL u can get solid CENTER and move KLOVE to the 4
I Thomas is 5,10, Iverson was 6 feet, only a few inches taller, that shows you how great Iverson was
Anybody else notice how much Steven A Smith brings up race nowadays? I never remember him bringing race into every debate back when skip was there or hell before "black lives matter" came about but now it's brought into every debate and every radio show he has
Johnny V yea its starting to really piss me off to
Charlotte wouldn't make a trade with Cleveland if it didn't include the Brooklyn pick
They say Cavs have no threat in the East, but ignore the fact that Indiana is about to sweep the season series on Friday.
Youngindy21 Indiana is going nowhere this year, stop it.
Deandra Jordan and Lue Williams.. We need them
Fuck it that’s his name now “Jamie Crowder” 😂😂😂
Kemba & Batum for Isaiah, Crowder and maybe Calderon seems pretty good for the Hornets and not so much for the Cavs.
All you gotta do is move kevin love back to power forward and get a center like marc gasol then get jae crowder and Jr smith out of the starting lineup
If only Dan Gilbert convinced LeThankYouToMyYoungSelf to waive his no trade clause and trade him instead of Kyrie then the Cavs will be cruising and winning the East.
Kyrie exposed LeHelp. The dude doesn't even play defense but let's blame IT and KLove.
Stop it!!
Why would anyone trade for IT if he's showing now that he's not showing up. Ppl just think other teams will give the Cavs anything the Cavs want.
When they let RJ go they start falling apart. RJ & Frye was a big part of that locker room chemistry, players have said it. Kyrie & RJ gone are a big part of the breakdown on this team, notice all the team pics, parties, family feeling is gone.
starting lineup:
Derrick Rose
Dwayne Wade
LeBron James
Kevin Love
Tristan Thompson
Lebron for Kawhi! Make it happen. Kawhi unhappy, and Lebron most likely leaving anyways. Win , win in both situations. Pop and Lebron would be scary like Kobe and Phil
