1. Your team has struggled a bit early on this season. What do you think is the reason for this and how can you turn it around during the second half of the year?
Inconsistent play, and the lack of a true physical presence with my Bigs. The East is loaded with good front courts, and my team just does not stack up with the top teams.
2. You made a massive deal for Luka last year. Take me back to why you made that trade and are there any regrets so far?
I saw that Luka was on the Trade market , and I'm certainly a strong believer that PGs make the team go in FBB. I also personally love Luka as a player, so I decided to pull the trigger on that deal. and i would certainly do it again.
3. Only in his second season, but Dylan Harper hasn’t progressed outside very well. Does he still have the potential to get that B up to a serviceable grade for a starting SG?
I am hoping that eventually he will to continue to progress his outside game, he has been a solid player even with the average ratings.
4. Brandon Ingram will be a free agent after this season. What are you willing to pay him to ensure he returns next year?
Well i did end up dealing Ingram for some front court help , as i really had no intention on bringing him back into a Cavs uniform next season.
5. Although Banchero has a couple awards, he seems better fit to play backup. What kind of player do you need to put next to him to ensure your team is successful?
I really need a stellar Defensive minded and rebounding big to get the most out of his game it seems. That is the plan, let’s hope that it works out.
6. Half way through the year, give me your East winner, West winner, and who will take home the NBN title this season.
Tough to go against the Sixers again , Carlos just makes moves, and knows how to win. I am still iking the Lakers chances, i like the teams mix. Im going with LA to win it all.
7. We are starting to mix some vets into the drafts going forward. What is your thought on this and who are some players that you are excited to see soon?
I love how the drafts are set up here , Im looking forward to seeing the Goat MJ, Dominique Wilkins , Clyde Drexler , Hakeem , and Patrick Ewing.
8. Although we are getting some nice ones in the drafats, shooting guards seem tough to find around the league. Do you think it's an unfortunate development issue once they are in the league or they are not being built for success pre draft, which is making it tough for them to progress?
I just think that GMS need to be patient with the young players, use camps and mentors to get them where they need to be.Patience is a key.
9. With the NFL season right around the corner, who is your favorite NFL team and what are you expectations of them going into the season?
I am born and raised in Pittsburgh, so i bleed black and gold, Love the Steelers. Unfortunately im not very optimistic with the moves that they have made at the QB position, plus the WR position is very weak at the moment, They will certainly need the Defense to carry them to even respectability in the tough AFC North.
10. Real life NBA. What's your thoughts on Bronny James and him going to the Lakers? In your opinion, does he have a future in the NBA?
Not a fan, i think that he will struggle to even be a rotational player for his career in the league.
