GS wins in a gentlemen’s sweep, 4-1. This roster, outside of LeBron, Kevin Love, and in spot minutes, Kyle Korver and Jeff Green, isn’t enough to get it done. They had to deal Kyrie as they had no leverage, and honestly, they got nothing great in return, even in their trade deadline attempt to remake the roster.
They needed the George Hill of five years ago. Larry Nance is fine for defense and rebounding, but he’s superfluous as they already have Tristan Thompson. I cringe every time I see Jordan Clarkson play iso ball, and how can they trust Rodney Hood after he reused to enter a playoff game at garbage time? Ironically, they need the player they traded to get Hood...Jae Crowder. Then the Cavs could have had a rotation of LeBron, Jeff Green, and Jae Crowder to throw at Kevin Durant.
