They don't even have to be 1/4 as good as Lebron, they just have to become the face of the Cavs and get into the playoffs within 3 years.

How many PGs dominate the way Kyrie did in a tough conference then fail in the NBA?

He didn't participate in conference play

When  was the last time a team with the point guard as their best player won the championship? Over 20 years ago when 1990 when Isiah Thomas led the Pistons to back to back championships.

Derrick Williams made it a point of telling reporters yesterday that he's a 3 who can play 4. Hmm...

I hope Gilbert is reading some of the dumb @!%*#@# comments being said in here about Kyrie just so that he doesn't go to Cleveland.  Same with Kemba.

Let those bums draft Williams and Brandon Knight but don't touch my guys.

Just 6'7"?  Why is that a bad thing?

Probably the same shoes Cole Aldrich wore last year. 6'9 without shoes to 6'11 with shoes.

I do. Will take some work on the defensive end, though. He can shoot it, which will help him.
