Mitchell fits the bill IMO
Kevin Love
I think Donovan fits well here. Most people like him, but not very many diehards consider him their current favorite cav.
Kyrie
Kevin Love. He would be loved but I think he lost some points with the fans by being injured for 2 straight years post LeBron and he was clearly frustrated with the team and let it show on the court sometimes. Thankfully he had the redemption tour year before we bought him out.
Interested to see where Kyrie lands. Saw him with the Mavs here in Cleveland last year and everyone at the stadium gave him a warm welcome. Clapped and cheered for him when announced. Probably great player and fans are divided
Brad Daugherty; tremendous player but *for some reason* wasn’t as loved as Price.
I feel like Cavs fans are obsessed with the *end of bench guy with minimal talent*. That’s like, our dude.
Donovan Mitchell
Kyrie
Brad Daughtery
Larry Nance fits wonderfully here.
If Richard Jefferson doesn’t make this list imma be beside myself haha
Mitchell or Price, IMO. I’d give it to Price based solely on how long he played for us.
Kyrie Irving (I think most people like him, but his exit was less than desirable)
Mark Price gonna get shafted, crazy work
Jamrio Moon was a very good fit for the 09-10 team. No way was he a horrible player.
Garland. He was drafted by us, and i want to see his name on the rafters one day. His interviews are great and shows how his personality keeps the team tight.
I think it’s Kyrie. I think most of the fans love Donovan right now but Kyrie is a bit more divided because of how he forced himself out
Like who doesn’t love Donny at the moment?
I am here to see where shump fits in
This chart is kind of a dumb way to categorize players. How are we gonna come up with 5 players that are hated or even disliked by fans? I can’t think of a single Cav that I straight up hate. The only Cleveland players that fit that bill for me are Deshaun Watson and Trevor Bauer. Cavs have generally been very likable over the years. It’s also kind of ridiculous to call somebody who made an NBA roster a horrible player. Anyway, it’s a toss between Mitchell and Price for this spot. Lot of people saying Love but I think he fits better in the square below given his attitude issues and drop off in play after the LeBron years.
