Overall, the past year was not too bad for the Cavaliers. After all, under the leadership of James, they can still enjoy the honor of the finals again. Although they want to send Owen away, it is not a particularly big loss to get the reward of the first round draft pick of the Nets.
But in any case, some difficulties that the Cavaliers faced in the past year may make the team regret:
1) Draft 2018
It was a reasonable choice for the Cavaliers to send Owen to the Celtics in exchange for the first round draft pick of the Nets. After all, the Nets have been the bottom team in the league for the past few years. What the Cavaliers didn't expect was that the Nets were able to score 28 wins and 54 losses last season, which made the Cavaliers only get the eighth overall pick. NBA and NFL draft are different. The latter can be said to be the top star of the top 15 to 20 draft picks, but if you can't get the top 5 draft picks in the NBA, it will be difficult to really get top talents.
In addition to taking off sexton in the draft, it is even more regrettable that the Cavaliers actually had the opportunity to reach a deal with the Hawks and get the third pick in the offseason. Considering that the 20 18 Flower Show is a player like Dancis, the Cavaliers should really regret it:
At least for now, sexton won't be better than Dansis.
2) At the beginning of this season, Jeangeorges Hill served as the starting point guard.
Although it's no wonder that the Cavaliers picked sexton in the 8th overall pick, when it comes to the importance of sexton's growth, the Cavaliers have Jeangeorges Hill as the starting lineup. Even if george hill is really a good veteran, he won't have top scoring and assists data, which will make him better than rookie sexton. To tell the truth, this is a meaningless choice.
You know, as a team in the reconstruction stage, the Cavaliers should obviously train young players instead of letting veterans start. This is definitely a disappointing choice, and of course this is also an important reason for Tailonglu's class.
Before being sent to Bucks, george hill averaged only 10.8 points, 2.8 assists and 2. 1 rebounds in 26.5 minutes.
3) how to deal with 3) the problem of 3)JR Smith leaving the team.
At present, jr Smith is still a member of the Cavaliers, but it is no secret that JR asked for a deal. What's more, JR has completely left the Cavaliers' rotation lineup. But to be honest, the Cavaliers' handling of JR's departure is not appropriate.
First of all, although JR has never been the most talented player in the team, and even his performance on the offensive end is not so ideal, he is now a player with good perimeter and solid defensive ability. Therefore, the Cavaliers should negotiate with JR privately and actively promote the transaction, because in this case, it will definitely be more rewarding than letting the other party know clearly that JR and Cavaliers have separated.
In addition, JR Smith is still a popular player in Cleveland. In the case of refusing to accept the buyout, the Cavaliers may need to find a team that really interests JR Smith before the trading deadline. To put it simply, the Cavaliers management has completely put the team into a passive position in dealing with the departure of JR Smith.
