I don't understand why Dean is not getting more minutes.
Pretty simple in the NBA. Love and Nance Jr. are healthy. Love-30 million$, Nance 12 million$, Wade 1.5 million$.

Makes sense in the NBA. They don’t care about winning. It’s all about the spoiled little brats that think they’re better then everyone else and have to have everything their way or they’ll throw a temper tantrum. I feel for Dean having to deal with that. I just really hope he doesn’t get sucked into their Delusional world.

Perhaps they should trade Dean to a team that would give him more minutes. Maybe the Pacers.

I look at that as a yes and no. 17 minutes a night is pretty good for an undrafted guy who was on a two contract last year. And he’s in a pretty good situation with “old guys” in the multi million rotation with him! But yeah it’s hard to watch those “old guys” hold their minutes who don’t even care or try anymore. But it’s mostly based on $$$.

He'll play more next year after they jettison some of those players with bloated contracts.

Unfortunately both Love and Nance have 2 years after this year left on their contract. So it will have to be via trade to get them out. And it’s likely that nobody will trade for them.

Cleveland almost traded Nance before the trade deadline according to multiple sources and I believe they'll move him in the offseason. Amazingly there were multiple teams interested in acquiring him.

They tried to move Nance and Love both to no avail. Tough to get buyers for guys that have not played for over half the season.

NBA athletes are amazing but often just appear to go through the motions. Usually hard to watch for more than 10 minutes. However, I would like to see Dean play sometime. Also Wes and Rodney.
