Woo hoo, bring on Luka Doncic!!!!!!!!

There's a few teams probably on a better track to "earn" that reward than Chicago.

[wdoupis]

I don't think any team has a roster worse than the Bulls. Even Lavine should miss half the year.

C Robin Lopez
PF Mirotic/Markannen
SF Paul Zipser
SG Denzel Valentine/Lavine (when he returns)
PG Dunn


Bench

Feliciano
Portis
Justin Holiday
Quincy Poindexter

I like our chances

I would consider myself a casual fan of the NBA, mainly just watch during playoffs. And I can honestly say I have not heard of any of those guys.

LeBron on Wade joining the Cavs: "It's like when you start school, you walk into the classroom and one of your best friends is there and you're like 'oh yeah, this is gonna be fun'."

[texasfan4444]

Lets be real..... Wade is going to travel with the team and sit on the bench all but 5-7 minutes a game until he blows his Achilles. that dude is going to walk worse than Earl Campbell by the time he hits 45.

[Cnasty]

I hope he brought his wheelchair with him from Miami!!!

[ReignOnU]

Is it bad that I don't really want to watch the Cavs play this year? I can't imagine that this is going to be a very fun offense to watch. Almost feels like subtraction by addition.

[shel311]

Subtraction on the offense?

IT4 was better offensively than Kyrie last season.

Wade is an upgrade offensively over JR Smith. I know JR adds spacing that DWade does not, but I also think they have enough 3 point shooting that Wade is a clear upgrade at the 2.

[Weasel]

I had actually already forgotten they had IT4

[ReignOnU]

I'm really not even sure how the roster shakes out. It's good that they have so many options because most of these guys are fragile and need rest.

I. Thomas, D. Rose, J. Calderon?
D. Wade, J. Smith, I. Shumpert
L. James, J. Crowder, K. Korver, C. Osman, R. Jefferson
K. Love, C. Frye, J. Green
T. Thompson, A. Zizic

In my perfect scenario, it would look more like this...

I. Thomas, D. Rose
D. Wade, J. Smith
J. Crowder, K. Korver
L. James, C. Frye
T. Thompson, K. Love

[shel311]

I feel like the roster is an overall upgrade but a worse matchup against GS.

76ers are in midseason form:
