How would you grade this move? Did we give up too much?
We got younger, taller, faster, more athletic, and better defensively, and we did it without losing spacing or giving up the promising rookie.
Hunter is 95% of OG Anonoby for literally half the price. Hes better and younger than Cam for the same price.
Gonna miss Niang and LeVert, but this is a solid A of a move.
I think we did as good as we possibly could and better than I thought.
More ball handling, minutes and playmaking opportunities for Ty Jerome, Max Strus, Jaylon Tyson and Craig Porter Jr. Now we just need a healthy Dean Wade and the Cavs could push for 70 wins.🐸🏀
Think this is a solid move. And alot of trades I seen for us. Had alot more going out. And we got to keep the rookie Tyson, that 1st round pick down the road. Under the luxury tax now. But solid move for us. I like this with many different line ups we can run. So let's go Cavs!!
It’s a good trade. We weren’t winning with Caris or Niang and that’s just the facts. And we still have ball handlers so we’re good play Craig more he has shown poise, and he is calm and collective
Jack man. You are killing me here with these vibes. Seems like ur having a bad day. 100% agree with Tony that between Darius, Donavan, and Jerome, you shouldn’t be in serious need of another ball handler. This is a fantastic trade and Cari’s levert is not gonna be the difference between a championship or not. Our lack of wings were the problem.
He’s a wet blanket. Luckily the least informed on the planet when it comes to Cavs so you’re good lol
Yup , you hit the nail on the head bro lol @@XenoMecha
Yea especially when caris dissapears for a month and goes 0-8 off the bench
Spot on, my boy. Idk wtf Jackson is even talking about
I’m with Tony on this. This a great move. These guy worried about Hunter defense but wanted cam Johnson. Make it make sense. Hunter is a better fit than Johnson for me.
yeah johnson does nothing for defense, he's just 6'8"
Jack doing the most with his takes lmao… over here talking about Hunters assist percentage… i have news we do not care, he wasn’t brought to the Cavs to get assists.
His numbers all around except for scoring probably improve in the Cavs system anyway.
I’m legit gonna miss Niang and his antics, his chemistry w the guys, starting fights, and postgame w TT. caris ofc too he’s been here since the start of this teams relevance. That being said you do this trade 10/10 from a basketball perspective and we honestly robbed the hawks
I’ll gladly crash out for the Cavs put me in Coach!!!
LOL Hunter does create his own shot, what is this guy talking about
These dudes are clowns
Jack is so smug omfg I don't even care about his make arbitrary negative takes to seem knowledgeable. These fools are arguing that missing Leverrt is a huge negative. Pause and really think how reasonable that is.
I'm not even a particularly optimistic fan but he's so grating.
He's one of the biggest living embodiments of "well actually ☝️🤨☝️" in the Cavs media space.
Dude is a nerd Who projects his own inadequacy
You all sound exactly like what you’re bitching about. Too “negative.” Losing Caris does hurt, he was one of our best secondary ball handlers and creators, but Hunter is worth it. Especially with Ty Jerome breaking out this year. We got better 100%.
Who pissed in Jacks coffee? You’re wrong about Caris and calling him really good is delusional. They just got a 19 ppg 6’8 guy who’s way younger .
Tony know ball and schooling these fools. Jack love fess for LeVert is just weird.
The cavs have two all star guards that can run point! Even before you get into the playmaking offered by the star bigs or the other bench guards there is no world in which I'm freaking out about Caris LeVert's 3.7 apg.
Lol, Jack is a casual. You could not have him on, and everything would improve
After watching every highlight I could find on hunter idk hth anyone can say he can't create his own shot. Vert had a decent year this yr but imo this is an upgrade.
I'm a native Clevelander that lives in Atlanta now and I hope the Hawks second to the Cavs. I've watched Hunter for years now and he's definitely an upgrade. He's hurt a lot too but the hope is he or Wade will be available. Love Hunter's offensive growth
Levert was too erratic. I'm definitely not going to miss him
Porter Jr is underrated
ya he has developed his 3 ball also, athletic and big enough to play some D one day
Niang was the best interview on the team. But the G wagon is just not athletic enough for this league. Best wishes
Great trade but sad to see our guys go.
Swear to God Jax is the guy who would root for the Cavs to fail just to prove his own opinions
Let’s trade common and jacks for another ball handler.
I agree with Tony you’re definitely over valuing The ball handling tbh not plus there is still the buyout market. Also the rotation shrinks in playoffs so Ty will only need to hold it down for 10 - 15 min which he is more than capable of doing.
Jerome and Hunter were teamates at Virginia. This may boost the value of Jerome now and enhance what Hunter will be able to accomplish when the two are together on the floor.
We have Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell and Ty Jerome, plus we wants to run more offense through Mobley how many more ball handlers do we need?💀 we have enough. Even CPJ can give you solid minutes as another ball handler
Sorry man tony we mess with you, but you need better hosts man
LeVert to the hole ....miss. If you can't convert shots, players don't respect your passing.
Hunter is a Dawg.. that's what they needed..
Yes they did!
I think Jacks is a Caris Levert fan.
Ty jerome has won a number of games for us , we were too heavy at guard ..Plus expiring contract of LaVert ... Porter can handle himself incase of injury.. Team should be better balanced . hope Wade is back then we are a large team , pick up Dwight Howard haha
I was with you until you said Dwight Howard, lol
This Tony guy the only one with some sense out of the trio on this take. Niang doesn’t crack any contending teams playoff rotation. So it’s basically Vert vs Hunter. Hunter is 6’8 with a 7’2 wingspan. What the hell are we talking about? They lost me when they said Vert is a playmaker. It’s been a long time since I seen Very be a playmaker lol. Dude just dribbles recklessly and looks to get defenders off balance. But lately he’s the only one off balance when he’s the one with the bal 😂😂 both Niang and Vert have become complete liabilities. It’s about damn time.
good show , interesting takes, we still need Wade to be healthy , ive said it all year and people thought i was crazy in the beginning of the season, wade is the x factor on this squad , as weird as it sounds ..
A shortage of ball handlers when you will only play 9 deep in the playoffs? You only need 3 handlers. We have 3 and a half.
who is the half lol
@cameron3753 Mobley
Shit honestly we got CPJ too even tho he's not likely to see a lot of play off time
@@floydmadeconoreathiswords6016 that’s something they never mentioned but I think it shows their faith in his ability along with Tyson
Love Dean Wade. His skill set being better than Hunters is a blasphemous statement.
Agreed. Theres a reason why Hunter is making 22.5 and Dean is making 6.5
I would have Wade on Tatum and Hunter on Brown, with Okoro on white(full court)
The hawks are tanking without draft pick for the next 3 years, owned by SAS....
This guy Jack with his spreadsheet...
I think Levert is a good player but very streaky and didn’t fit as well on this team as Hunter will
We needed a 3 and D wing badly and have ample ball handlers and creaters
When Levert is on he is very good but when he is off he’s unplayable. I think getting a more consistent player is huge for this team that has some streaky players in Okoro, Merril and Wade
They probably wanted tyson and lavert for cam johnson
They wanted 1st rounders for him, which is insane considering Hunter is a better player
Simmons fills a bunch of issues. I think they know they are getting him.
Sounds like they are seriously interested. I guess we'll see
Extremely worried about Simmons messing with the locker room culture
jalen tyson needs to play more now often to get experience ,
Keeping him could be huge. He might not be fully ready for this season but he could be another interchangeable wing in the future
@@Tony_PestaTony bro you legit need hosts that are cavs fans
@@Tony_Pestahis playmaking could cover/help the hole that you’re missing with leverts playmaking, I think in the long term you are going to see him handle the ball/playmake and set up others getting shots
@@richiekoesel24yeah I agree. Maybe not this year, but Tyson should be able to be that wing playmaker in the future. His playmaking has been pretty good especially in the open court
i love caris levert but i think this is an upgrade for the cavs.
will this put Struss back to his better (in my opinion) SG position more often ?
Yes, off the bench with ty, Okoro, and Wade
This forces mobley to expand his game, initiating and playmaking.
Hunter is better than dean wade and since dean is always hurt i feel he just lost his job
Why do people do this? More than 1 person plays at a time, and they don't naturally play the same position.....
@dearmas9068 wade has been playing the 3 for us. And now hunter will start at 3. Maybe wade will now be the back up 4. But my point was very relevant
@@johnbontea1353 Wade has been playing the backup 5/4 before he got hurt because we needed that. He CAN slot in at the 3 and has gotten the start there several times, but he isn't a 3.
Wade is a natural 4 and Hunter is a natural 3.
Please. Just stop.
Need to sign theis!
ball handler depth won't stop boston or OKC abusing us on the perimeter or drive; don't know if this was trying to hard to play devil's advocate
- get under luxury tax for the year
- levert expiring $ in 4 months
- no 1sts
pretty laughable take putting so much weight on levert imo
Jackson doesnt feel like a Cavs fan to me. He's always Mr. Sourgrapes. Like bro, we acquired the perfect prototypical player this roster has needed in the Mitchell. LeVert was good for us, but it was likely we werent going to re-sign him. Also, not a single mention of Craig Porter Jr, who is another ball handler on the roster who always plays well when given the minutes. This discussion seemed incomplete. I hope this pod does a little better going forward.
Jack is a 🤡 talking about how important Lavert was in the playoffs, and doubling down even after Tony gives his playoff stats. Come on dude, the stats said he sucked, the eye test said he sucked, just admit he sucked.
Lavert was also gone after this year, while hunter is on a reasonable contract for 2 more years after this season
Caris levert cant dribble, why do people think he can?
Um... he definitely can...
Ayo what????? Caris was just on his regular off slump. When he’s hot yes he’s good but he’s NOT CONSISTENT WHAT SO EVER. Never has been. Without a doubt is this a move you had to make and George Niang who just had 3 pts 5 fouls against the Celtics? 😂
The Cavs need to play more of Porter Jr. Bates & Tyson
In place of who?
@@keiththomas3422I would've said Niang, but there's times Okoro and struss do not have it going, particularly on defense.
Why tf needs 4 ball dominant playmakers?? Caris was not being retained on that deal either wake tf up dude lol
Jack... 🤦🏾♂️
Jack is always a Debbie downer or a buzz Q. Everybody know somebody in their life that’s just negative. He’s just a downer. That person who hits the lottery and says “ well what am I going to do with all that money?” That’s Jack.
All the Cavs need now is Lebron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love has got a little gas left in the tank and they can combine 2016 with 2025. Take that Celtics, bring Larry Bird outta retirement.☘️🏀🐸
You r not going to beat Boston with Dean Wade in this lineup. Why r u giving Wade this much credit. He's not better than Hunter in no facet of his game.
I wish People will see that, to me Personally Wade Sucks! He can't Create his own shot, too inconsistent and stays hurt.
Listen, son. Dean Wade literally beat Boston by himself one time.
Dean is a very important part of this squad and its future. Hes a 6.5mill a year backup. Stop it.
Wade is a solid defender. A lineup with him, mobley, Hunter and Okoro would be scary.
They could include Hunter in a future Cam trade.
Huh? That would be a downgrade
I’m with Tony on this. This a great move. These guy worried about Hunter defense but wanted cam Johnson. Make it make sense. Hunter is a better fit than Johnson for me.
Agreed! Hunter is a flat out better player than Cam.
