Tyus for our two seconds and nothing else. Now, get on that AutoBahn

Oh, I see it in Qs post. the two 2nd rounders for the Cavs 24 to get Jones. Good. That's fair. Would rather have had Wright, but hey. Beggars and choosers.

Agree we'll still need a third PG.

I'll sit back and be happy about this. Got our guy, then helped fill a need with a feel-good story for the papers.

Anybody suspect we offered them Bennett and the 2 seconds for the 24th and they came back and said . . . uhhh, just give us the picks.

Hahah, plausible.

Believe they are in cap trouble so mostly traded cause they had to with there cap situation

Q, a defensive pg like rozier/wright would've been great but a backup pg who can actually play at a slow pace, control the game, and get players in position to run sets vs Iso ball may be more important. Tyus can do that for us. We may lose on the offensive end, but if we have quality offensive possessions and go tit for tat on our second unit then I do believe we have a good chance to win many games. A rubio/martin/Wiggins/kg/towns 1st line can definitely put us/keep us ahead.

I hear you. It all sounds good in theory. I just don't think Tyus's game will translate well at the next leveI and that includes offense. He reminds me too much of Trey Burke. I get that he can get things organized and get guys the ball. But I question his ability to beat folks off the dribble and get his shot off cleanly. And defensively.....Oof.

I agree, you have very valid points on him. I am being a hopeful opTIMistic, and definitely have some bias due to his play in our state. At least we can both agree and rejoice that we are debating on a player we received for a 31/36 pick, one of which we didn't sell for the first time in forever, and not on the pick which will ultimately define this draft/our fate.

Agreed. I get worked up on the small stuff, even if some of the big stuff is going right (e.g. Towns). I'm a huge believer in making smart moves for good value, even the smallest of things. If you really want to see me get in a tizzy, let's talk about Jeff Adrien.....

Cavs should've just drafted upshaw and Christmas, let love walk so they could resign their other guys, and focused on a middling FA or two. My 2 ©ents.

Mason Plumlee was just traded somewhere!

I just don't see Tyus Jones being a NBA caliber guard, but I hope I am wrong. I would have rather went with the second are took Willy at 31 and Joseph Yong at 36. Willy will be a serviceable center in a few year and I think Young willbe one of those 2nd round PG's that makes an impact.
