1stly... Irving whom is injury prone would need to stay healthy. 2ndly mike brown is not a very good coach.
And 3rdly did you really say Josh Smith can't play defense?

1. A lot of Irving's injuries were simply unlucky, or because of something silly (like slapping the padding and somehow breaking his hand). He does seem a bit injury prone but I have a feeling he will stay pretty healthy next year, especially since they have a ton of solid guards now meaning he doesn't have to carry the team's load as much (They signed Jarret Jack which should help a lot).
2. I don't think you know Mike Brown well enough to assess accurately how good of a coach he is, but I suppose we can all have our opinions. I think the main reason for bringing him back was not because of his amazing coaching skills but because the Cavs want to land LeBron James once he is a free agent and he had/has a very good relationship with Mike Brown. LeBron James opinion of Coach Brown is that he is a very good coach and I feel like he would know the best out of everyone.
3. I agree with you 100% on this. It certainly raised my eyebrows too. Josh Smith is a wonderful defender. I might even go as far as say that his defense is on par with his offense (which is pretty darn good).

Wait, the Cavs want to sign LeBron? That's gonna be awkward if it happens...

You haven't heard this? It has been talked about MANY times and many ESPN and NBA guys believe that the Cavs are building their team in a way where lebron would want to rejoin them. Adding back Mike Brown just proves this to be even more probable that they want him back.

I follow the NBA somewhat, more during the regular season than the offseason. But I'm just saying, they're pretty much going back on what everybody in Cleveland said, which was "screw LeBron, we don't need that traitor!" I'm not sure how fans in Cleveland really feel about it since I'm not from around there, but I bet at least a few Cavs fans are pretty mad about this.

How have the warning bells not gone off for you guys??

He still lives in Akron

They haven't made any attempt whatsoever to surround Irving with talent, despite having the cap space and the opportunities to do so

THE BENNETT PICK!!!! As soon as they took Bennett, I knew they were setting up for the Lebron-a-palooza 2014. Taking Bennett essentially sets them up to surround Lebron with a superstar slashing guard, and a PF who can average 18 a game without having the ball in his hands all that much. Now where have we seen that?


I would be shocked if the Cavs didnt make a serious run at him.


Edit: Directed at everyone but EBW lol. Responded wrong person

All is forgiven when you win. If he signs back on with Cleveland and wins a title he will be crowned as The King returned to hsi throne. All of Cleveland will bow down and Witness. They will change the name of the arena from The Q to The LBJ, Jordan will bow down and buy twelve pairs of Lebrons and force the Charlotte Lottery Busts (name change pending) to wear them nightly.

Jerry Sloan once said a dead man can collect 10 boards a night...He was referring to Ostertag being lazy.

So, I think the Pelicans(I hate this name very much.) are going to be a decent team, Just think about this line-up

Jrue Holiday PG
Eric Gordon SG(If he doesn't get traded and stays healthy)
Tyreke Evans SF(Or SG if EG gets traded most likely, depending, or a 6th man scorer off the bench while Al-Farouq Aminu starts here)
Anthony Davis PF/C
Ryan Anderson C/PF

That's a pretty good lineup, with Grievis Vasques coming off of the bench, and Tyreke possibly coming off the bench, I think they're playoff bound.
