Irving-Waiters-Clark-Bennett-Bynum
Jack-Karasev-Gee-Thompson-Varejao Cavaliers are suddenly pretty damn stacked. Varejao is pretty good, then you add six first round picks the last three years(2#1's and 2#4 overalls) then sign Jack, Earl Clark, and Bynum... Pretty good on paper all the sudden. And real young.

I was pretty worried about losing Pek to a team like Dallas who would throw a ton of money that we didn't have at him. Now I'm kind of questioning this move by the Wolves if that contract offer is accurate. It's definitely a sign that the Wolves are desperate to keep Pek (which they should be) but they perhaps blew their load too soon.
Ah well. It's nothing too terrible or crippling, really. http://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/ey...nikola-pekovic Quote:

But people are treating him like some kind of a mastermind. As of right now, he has a coach who struggles to figure out how to use his talent. And he has two expensive acquisitions in Lin and Asik who were a terrible fit for the team and system. If he's heavy on analytics, then pre-Harden, why did he have such a mish-mosh of players and coaches who don't work together? The Harden trade was brilliant. The Howard move worked because they threw a lot of money at them. With the superstars in place, we'll see if a good system follows. Until that system forms, it is purely a strategy of stacking with assets with no vision for how those assets work together. |

Chris Grant has built a solid foundation for a team. They're still a legit scoring threat away from being a true contender. And we still have to remind ourselves that they're going to be coached by Mike Brown. We can only hope that the new offensive assistant he hired will be allowed to call the offensive shots.

Everyone knows how to win in the NBA and there are usually two ways to do it: sign elite players in free agency and draft generational talents. But to get the first you often need the second. And when you have the opportunity to draft the second you have to be lucky. Morey was able to successfully build a real contender while never having a chance to draft a generational talent. That's pretty amazing. He acquired a bunch of quarters for dime prices, then traded those quarters for a dollar. And in the NBA, a dollar bill is worth more than four quarters.

But what about the $8M dollar players who played at dime levels? I'll agree with you on the draft, but Lin and Asik was a "shiny object" strategy. And maybe McHale is better than I give him credit for, but I don't think he's very good either. |

Bennett should be a good scoring threat to go with Irving and Waiters. Karasev should be the best shooter on the team too.

If the Rockets wipe their hands clean of Asik and Lin, maybe you've got something. Right now, in Lin and Asik, you're paying $16M for two guys who I still think were shiny objects vs. being part of some kind of a long-term strategy. McHale did make it work a little bit with Harden and Lin, but let's be real... they don't belong on the floor with each other, and Asik doesn't belong on the floor with those guys either. |

Lin and Harden aren't a great fit, but again, Morey didn't know he was getting Harden when he signed Lin. |
