:bowdown: :bowdown:

65+wins i predict

[J Shuttlesworth]

Should be like how they were the 2nd half of the season, but even better.

Kyrie will be better, Love will be more comfortable with his role. Same with Mozgov and Shumpert.


I don't know if they keep JR

I don't know if they keep JRHe's got a $6M player option, which he may exercise. Windhorst said a few weeks ago that he thought he'd become a FA this summer, but I'm not convinced he will, especially after this latest incident.

If Love returns, Cavs improve the bench, and the key guys stay healthy, I expect them to be the #1 seed in the EC next season. Legit title contenders.

[JebronLames]

They'll be looking for the repeat

[PhutureDynasty]

I'd say 60 wins and at least an ECF appearance.

I always believed the Cavs next year will be better than the Cavs this year.

More experience especially in the playoffs, better team play, and hopefully fewer injuries.

Kevin Love and JR Smith will almost certainly choose to stay for the last year of their contract, since the salary cap is set to go up dramatically a year later, so opting out this year could cost them a lot of money.

The real question is what happens with Tristan Thompson. Will he choose to stay in Cleveland as a bench player, or try to get a starting spot on some other team ? He's an unrestricted free agent, and could be gone next year.

Love aint staying lol.

[SourSamCassell]

They looking good

[BigTicket]

Love aint staying lol.

Why would he choose to take much less money by leaving this offseason ?

first round exit if i've ever seen one, this is the first year that Lebron has truly declined and it was pretty steep I mean 57% ts for someone who mostly shoots in the restricted area?? Ouch! could be even steeper next year. And you definitely don't want shumpert as your starter on any team.

[NumberSix]

I doubt Kevin Love stays in Cleveland.

[Kobe_6/8]

Why would he choose to take much less money by leaving this offseason ?

Lowest MPG in career since becoming a starter
Lowest PPG in career since becoming a starter
Lowest usage % in career since becoming a starter
Lowest FGA in career since becoming a starter
Lowest rebounds per game since rookie year

He has a sketchy relationship with LeBron. He's only played in Minnesota and Cleveland in his career, and only 4 playoff games. Maybe he wants the spotlight.

He's good enough to be a #1a/b option somewhere and contend for a ring.

If his stats go down next year like they did this year, he might lose money by staying in Cleveland.

Expect D-Rose comparisons when Love misses games to injury next season...

[Trollsmasher]

They also got the Haywood contract to use

[Rose'sACL]

Love will most probably leave in 2016. It makes no sense to leave in 2015.
