Tuesday's thoughts
Just filed my story for tomorrow's paper. With the Cavs off today and little left over material, I went the route that I've been thinking about for a couple of weeks now: Who is worth keeping on this roster when the Cavs put it back together again?
And by put it back together, I mean legitimately contend for a championship. I don't see anyway they do that in under five years, so who off this roster is worth keeping for at least the next five years?
I came up with four names: J.J. Hickson, Daniel Gibson, Ramon Sessions and Christian Eyenga. And that's it.
Without going into detail (you can read the column yourself tomorrow), Gibson and Sessions would make nice complementary (bench) pieces to any title team. Hickson has proved over the last month he can be a legitimate starter on a contender and Eyenga could go either way, we simply haven't seen enough of him yet.
Agree or disagree? Anyone on this team you think is a blatant omission and needs to be added? Any of those four you can't stand? Tell me about it in the comments below and see how much we agree/disagree.
