yeet 332 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Good line but only 22 minutes? With Love out? Is Lue brain dead? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ajax 1,373 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 We all know the talent is there. Just needs to get enough minutes and with this clueless coach that may not be happening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Purple Hippo 1,365 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 My god the numbers he would put up if he got even just 28-30 mins. Ceding minutes to Tristan Thompson of all people. Why Lue, why!?!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nance is suppose to be one of your foundational pieces that you just gave $45 mil to. If he can’t get 30 min with Love out, then I have no idea what to expect going forward. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ComeOnAndSlam 526 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) The Cavs basically have no reason to be playing Nance right now. This team is horrible from a front office POV as well as an actual basketball POV. They have an insane amount of money tied up in KLove, Tristan Thompson, JR Smith, George Hill and Jordan Clarkson. They're not going to be winning anything in the next season or two at the very least so their priorities are basically tank and try to showcase their bloated contract guys in the first half of the season to hopefully get some sucker to bite for a trade. Unfortunately the majority of their fat contract guys are almost unmovable because of how bad their contracts are (looking at TT, JR and K.Love here) and it would take another Billy King to give up assets for someone like TT or JR. I wouldn't expect Nance to be unleashed until after the trade deadline (if that). Edited October 28, 2018 by ComeOnAndSlam Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nance is 100% a better fit next to Osman or Love at the 5 spot when playing against uptempo opposition and perimeter orientated teams, which is basically everyone these days. The point is I don't think the Cavs have any intention to prioritize winning over playing their vets in order to try to trade them, which hurts Nance's value. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's still only 25 and has never gotten a decent run as a starter in the league, why wouldn't the Cavs see what he's got, at the very least to make him a more attractive trade asset, or even better discover that he can be someone they can rely on for the next 5-6+ seasons? Certainly makes more sense than giving bums like TT, Dekker and Frye minutes, who will be out of the league in 2 years. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why on earthy would the Cavs try to trade Larry Nance? The Cavs absolutely should not and will not trade him. He's a young athletic big who still has potential and his extension is cap friendly. Why would the Cavs, who are in cap space hell, try to get rid of someone who as you said could be a legitimate part of their future for the next 5 seasons and do so cheaply?

No read my post above again and have a think about the Cavs roster situation. I said the Cavs priorities right now isn't player development. They already have Nance on a long term deal and are essentially a lottery bound team. There is no reason to be giving Nance or Sexton big minutes right now over other older players who aren't a part of their future and need to be showcased for a trade, however unlikely that trade is. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TT and Frye have less than 0 trade value and aren't being showcased for anything, Lue is just a terrible coach. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Frye is a vet min expiring contact. He's a throwaway add in a part of a bigger trade. I agree he shouldn't be getting PT over Nance. TT has some trade value but unfortunately not with that contract length. If it was an expiring he'd be easier to move but the Cavs will have to get creative to get someone to bite on his 35m owed.

So you’re saying the Cavs front office is literally sitting Ty Lue down and telling him to make sure TT gets close to 30 minutes a night at the expense of Nance? And exactly which NBA team is interested in a washed up unathletic big man who’s declining skill set is obsolete in today’s NBA? Yeah, I’m gonna go with Occam’s razor on this one and just conclude Ty Lue is an idiot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

backyardballer 211 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Nance should definitely be getting 25+ minutes and should not be losing minutes to Frye and TT. Seems like there's a chance he gets unleashed under a new HC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brosephd 1,353 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 im assuming depends on your teams needs but stls, points rebs fg% and recently assists are his strong suits and thats under 25 mins Quote Link to post Share on other sites
