If a wing goes down for an injury, it seems like it would be better to have Dunleavy still on the bench than not. If we use him as an 11th or 12th man that's fine for me. I just would not want him to eat into anyone else's time specially our rookies. Either that or send him to a 3rd team which I guess they are looking at doing now.

Gray Mule Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 I believe Hawks dropped #12 in their rotation, Ryan Kelly, and this is his replacement. In his prime, some time ago, he was good. If there is anything left in the tank and we do not trade or drop him. Bud will find it and use it to the fullest. After all, he's no rookie. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecampster Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Why Dunleavy is no Korver - better defense due to being taller. Slower release. Unlike Korver, Dunleavy has the size to play the 3. Because of this, Baze is back to be being a 2, his normal position. Dunleavy seemingly is a better fit. for 10-15 minutes a game if the rooks can't step up. This is a good blog from 2014. http://www.blogabull.com/2014/11/19/7246255/in-praise-of-mike-dunleavy-jr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavsfan Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 all kyle has to do is camp out at the three line... cavs have enough weapons he will get alot of open looks.. far as his defense.. if its middle of the road at best..we can live with that...

Guest Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Per Coach Bud: Quote Despite looking to move Dunleavy, he is expected to join the Hawks as soon as possible. He won’t be with the team for Saturday’s game at the Mavericks. “We will bring him in,” Budenholzer said. “I think he’s got the type of game and a skill set that I think he could be very good playing for us. We’ll just have to see how he is, integrate him, continue to build. He’s a player who we’ve liked, and personal I’ve liked, for a long time. We’ll see how he fits into our mix.

GameTime Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Wow. Didn't know Dunleavy is 6'9.5 (basically 6'10) with shoes. I do like the fact that Dunleavy can attack a close out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said he should only be a break glass in case of emergency player. Minutes should now go to THjr, Bembry and Prince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the fact that Dunleavy can attack a close out His game is much more dynamic than Kyle's, I will give him that. Not as good of a shooter and not quite as good moving without the ball, but he has decent skills, can handle the ball, and go inside. Looks like we have a team option on him for next year that is pretty cheap, so if he sticks around it won't be the worst thing that's ever happened. I used to really want Dunleavy's to come off the bench behind Korver a year or two ago 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good blog from 2014. Dunleavy had back surgery in 2015 when with the Bulls and this year an article on the the Cavs ESPN page actually mentioned him missing many wide open threes which they think may be back related. Link is after the initial recovery period from surgery. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/14262550/mike-dunleavy-chicago-bulls-setback-recovery-back-surgery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Dunleavy can best help is by being traded for a 2nd or just sitting on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Dunleavy can best help is by being traded for a 2nd or just sitting on the bench. Treat him like a woman. Have him look pretty, make sandwiches and sit in the corner with his mouth shut! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
