this is getting ridiculous. dude is a backup power forward with exactly 2 offensive skills: he sets solid screens and he's an elite offensive rebounder. that's it. he can't shoot, can't pass, can't handle. no post game. doesn't finish well at the rim over length. and his P&R switching defense is extremely overrated.
paying this guy 18M per for 20 nightly minutes of setting picks for kyrie and grabbing jr smith's misses would be completely absurd. i don't care who his agent is, cavs are 100% right to play hardball.

it is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. - sherlock holmes
