Thanks for joining us. Right now is incredibly slow, but during free agency we had some good posts from various users. I think things will get much better when there is real basketball discussion to be had.

#9 - Cleveland Cavaliers

2022-23 record: 51-31

Result: Lost East first round

2024 title odds: +2500

After the franchise's momentum was stalled with a first-round flameout against New York, the Cavs have had a strong offseason -- from adding Max Strus and Georges Niang to rookie Emoni Bates looking like a potential steal in Cleveland's run to the summer league championship. Still, the biggest question remains if the team can make enough strides next season to convince Donovan Mitchell to extend and make The Land his home. -- McMenamin

Emoni absolutely showed out this game. He's been getting better every game and this one was a cherry on top for the summer. I hope he earns some minutes this season, I'd love to see him hit his shots against legit NBA talent.

I would disagree with that. It's not really bizarre given leagues around the world do this to great success. Also I don't think the NBA is so single minded that they only worked on this in season tournament and nothing else to improve the game. I'm also not sure that very much time even needed to be spent on this idea given how it's already in place in other leagues and at the top level it's not very complex.

At the end of the day it was a pretty minor change to the existing infrastructure with respect to how much improvement it could impose. I see it as no negative with possible positive.
