S58 Cavs Preseason Presser

jlmarines · Post by **jlmarines** » Wed May 18, 2022 9:00 pm

Welcome to the Cavs Preseason Presser. We are pleased to welcome our MVP GM jlmarines.

GM jlmarines: For this upcoming season our goal is to send a clear message to Maravich Division the Cavs are here to stay. Last season playoff run was not a fluke. Last season we were averaging 105 pts per game. Cant win playoff games without elite scorers. Unfortunately we had to make tough decisions. We did not attempted to resign C Eloy Tilton and SG Scottie Barnes. Great players but it was clear both Tilton and Barnes are not the answer.

GM jlmarines: We are excited to welcome Michael Sneed. Sneed brings leadership and we believe Sneed has plenty in the tank to score alot of points. We also signed C Mason Dixon. Dixon is in his prime and we believe Dixon is ready to take his game to the next level.

Since taking over the Cavs, we signed our best PG in the last 10 seasons. PG Dangerfield does not age at all. Don't let his age fool you. Dangerfield is the key to our success and we belive he will take this team back to the playoffs. Our depth is so loaded with solid green players, each of our bench players brings a specific attribute skill set on the defensive and offensive side. There's no question we are a deep 12 team roster. I have confidence with our new addition players we will retun to the playoffs and win games in the playoffs. The Cavs are the real deal and we expect to embarrass our rivalry opponents, staring with the 76ers.

GM jlmarines: Overall, if you look at our entire roster, Cavs have a solid 12 man rotation. We expect to win more than 40 games that's for sure.

GM jlmarines: Here's our starting lineup for the current moment:

C Mason Dixon
C Rene Pfaff
PF Jeffery Jackson
PF Caleb Mills
SF Jere Bailey
SF Bennedict Mathurin
SG Michael Sneed
SG David McCafferty
PG Chadwick Dangerfield
PG Teddy Dizon

If you could attempt to fill another hole in your roster to get peak performance, what would it be?

Sham Smith, Bulls.com: You said that you'd win 40 games this season, but the more important question...will you be better than your rivals in OKC, Sacramento, and Philly?

What grade would you give for your offseason? What was your favorite move? And your biggest regret?

Chet Youbetcha, Dimmadome News: Do you think this could be the best team you ever had?

Also, does it bother you that the best player in your team isn’t named after an FSU alum?

Who will you use as your primary 6th man?

What's the point of it all? How many wins do you foresee yourself getting? I doubt you'll be in the buyers market by Dec 15, but if you are, I'm sure the bucks would have some pieces you may find interesting.

Thank you for your question. I tried signing a blue PF player. I did offer top dollars but unfortunately few players decided to sign somewhere else during UFA. For instance, we tried hard to sign PF Gary Giles, however it didn't work out in our favor. We will keep our eyes open during the regular season for a PF that's for sure. Go Cavs!

That's the goal. I'm not worried about the 76ers. 76ers is a complete disaster and a circus. I'm closing the gap between Thunder and Kings. I think this year I can take over and crush all 3 of my rivals. Looking forward for this year. Thank you for your question.

Solid B. Favorite move is signing SG Sneed. I think Sneed has few good years left and will take us to the playoffs again. We regret not signing a PF. We did tried during UFA, but unfortunately our targets signed with other teams. We are definitely open for a trade and acquiring a PF. We will keep our eyes open during the season.

Absolutely. I never had a true PG since I took over the Cavs. Yes, Dangerfield is old, but he competes at a high level. In fact, based on attributes Dangerfield has been my best PG in the last 10 seasons. If he stays healthy, watch out, Cavs are the real deal.

Yes, it definitely sucks I can't rename my players. I think we should have the ability to change the names of draft pick, regardless of the picks. Why not? My goal is to have a complete roster with FSU alum names. Now that will be pretty cool. Thank you for your question.

C Rene "El Silencio" Pfaff. El Silencio can play C, PF, and SF. He's an animal. El Silencio is a nasty dawg, fearless style, willing to put his body on the line and initiate contact in order to make plays. We are very fortunate El Silencio turn down mega offers and decided to stay in his beautiful shack in Cleveland. We expect a monster year for El Silencio. Thank you for your great question.

Anything to crush K100, and AB is a good day for me. I'll keep that in mind on Dec. 15. I'll have more wins than K100. That's for sure. Awesome question.
