    So Mobley is paired with a shooting big and a rim protector/rebounder. Seems like the ideal situation for Mobley.

    It seems like you are upset I’m not giving Mobley all the credit.

    Cavs won games last season too with JA, Garland, Sexton, Love, Nance, Okoro, Prince.

    But they were clearly not a playoff team.

    And no one is denying your concluding statement (bolded) it's all the BS you state prior that is ignorant.

    That’s right. Again… you are upset I am not giving Mobley all the credit.

    None of Garland, Allen, Okoro, and Sexton improved year over year…. it’s all Mobley.

    I can’t agree with that.

    Answer what? That the Cavs are the only team to employ a three big lineup?

    Like I said… it works because they have Mobley complimenting a shooting big and rim protecting/rebounding big. Also vice versa. Mobley isn’t a shooter and gets his points offIt works very well.

    So then you are upset that I am not giving Mobley all the credit? You feel like Allen and Lauri/Love are being completely carried by Mobley? Yes?

    I disagree Mobley is completely carrying the Cavs but do agree Mobley is the main reason the Cavs are so good. You disagree with that?

    I think you've covered every single base with your back sliding argument.

    First, it was Mobley went to perfect situation, playoff team with Rubio as PG which inflated his numbers and productivity.

    Then it was no way Mobley plays as well if on Rockets.

    Now its every Cavs player who played on bottom feeder East team last season have ALL improved to playoff caliber and this has improved Mobley.

    You are a hoot.

    Right back at you.

    I don’t think the Cavs success is 100% Mobley because of the complimentary role his teammates play. You seem to think it’s 100% Mobley.

    You bring up the 3 big lineup but can’t acknowledge it also requires a shooting big and traditional big to work.

    And yes, Mobley got drafted to a team with outstanding complementary players which is a perfect situation. That doesn’t mean Mobley isn’t the main reason the Cavs are better.

    So yea…. You can twist my words but bottomline you think its 100% Mobley and I don’t.

    I don't think its 100% Mobley, unlike you I don't believe in extremes.

    Or alternate realities.

    And I don't backtrack. My stance has been clear from day one, the archives will support this.

    And yet you cant give Garland or Allen or Love any credit. You can’t acknowledge the complimentary pieces.

    Lol…. Like your Aaron Gordon alternative reality?

    AG as a role player to complement Harden is now an alternate reality?

    As for JA, I was one of the few that wanted him in Harden trade.

    But you keep trying to muddy up the waters because you know jack shet about evaluating players.

    Now it's about my argument style.

    LOL

    You're sinking fast and grasping for an anvil as a life preserver.

    Lol. Look at how you argue:

    You said you don’t deal in extremes literally a few posts ago and here you are….. The three big lineup ONLY WORKS BECAUSE OF MOBLEY. So Allen and Lauri/Love add nothing?!!!

    Whoops!

    That's not an extreme genius, it's a FACT.

    Stick any 7 footer not named Mobley next to Markkanen and JA and IT DOES NOT WORK.

    Mobley next to Turner and Sabonis also works.

    Plug and play across the entire NBA.

    So again, you are saying Allen and Lauri/Love add nothing?

    Mobley is plug and play. However, you still need complimentary players that provide stout, interior defense and shooting.

    Which team gets more wins? I would think even the biggest Mobley fans know the answer is still the cavs and it's not particularly close.

    That's really hard to say because it would change everything.

    If the Rockets got Mobley, I think that means Wall is playing so the starting lineup would be something like

    Wall
    KPJ
    Tate
    Wood
    Mobley

    I think that team could be pretty interesting.

    The Cavs on the other hand, would be downgrading from Mobley to Kevin Love and then slotting in Green at SF next to Garland. Those moves completely destroy their defense which is a big part of why they are winning games this season.

    It's interesting to think about but doesn't really matter anymore. That ship has sailed.
