I never understood the Cavs hiring Atkinson, but who knows, maybe they will do well with him.

i give the cavs credit for going with roster continuity…good players, maybe first round home court advantage in the playoffs next season…hopefully it won’t be to our detriment for the cavs to now have kenny guiding them during the playoffs…

I predict the last full roster spot won’t be filled until the end of preseason, if then. It’s what they’ve done the last couple of years. This enables them to evaluate players in preseason and then maybe sign them. Also, since it leaves space to promote someone from a two way contract to a full contract, they could keep it open for a while. An example might be if Hukporti or Skapintsev is needed as a backup in case of injuries.

And Alan, Begley says January 15th in the text, but December 15th in the video, so who knows which one is correct.

Haha Raven, it really isn’t that big of a deal, big, big wing, whatever. He is a switchable and athletic but undersized big with a versatile but inefficient offensive game. If he could just learn to shoot 35+% from the corner 3 spot, he’d be awesome on his salary. But he can’t, so he isn’t.

Glad to start a kerfuffle — I was just winging it…

Precious is far closer to players like OG, Grant, and Siakam than Embiid, Jokic or Lopez. He’s both big and mobile enough to effectively guard all 5 positions. I agree that he is technically a “big” but he has defensive versatility that most bigs just don’t have. Didn’t realize that calling him a “big wing” would be so controversial.

Precious is 100% a big, not a wing. Since being drafted, he’s played 75% of his minutes at C and the other 25% at PF. Taking the occasional 3 or driving occasionally doesn’t make someone a wing. If that were the case, then Jokic, Brook Lopez, and Anthony Davis would all be wings as well.

Alan, you have to wonder whether the iHart contract played into Allen’s extension. Is that the going price for that genre of C now? If so, if Mitch stays healthy, the 80/20 thing will definitely no longer apply to him!
