Sound familiar?

And the kid can score better than anyone expected him to out of college. He is, without question, the centerpiece of the Cavs organization for the foreseeable future. Every move Cleveland makes should be geared around acquiring players who mesh with Irving's style, and who complement his skill set. And yet the Cavs continue to compound their mistakes in the most familiar ways.

Now, Tristan Thompson is a nice player. He's a nice piece to have. But he's not a star. Watching him, he's a good offensive rebounder, but struggles to score and turns the ball over too much to justify any sort of a high usage rate. He's not another piece to build around. And that's OK, teams make mistakes in the draft. Especially in the 2011 draft, which seemed shallow and was really difficult to predict. Look at the order today, and it seems completely wrong. Bright young stars slipped while complete non-factors jumped. Cleveland certainly wasn't the only team to struggle when evaluating the talent. The only crticism I have is that the Cavs didn't want to wait on a player like Jonas. Look at the Cavs roster, and it's easy to see that no rookie was going to make that team turn around immediately. They could have afforded to wait.

I don't dislike Cleveland, I just don't like ugly basketball. And their fans deserve something to cheer for. Just imagine how exciting the Cavs could be if they were entering this season with Irving, Jonas, and Robinson.
