I think the game plan will stay the same but the thought for Mo will always be fast brake first and game plan last.

Well, first of all, your numbering system of 1-2-3-4-5-1-2-2-3 has thoroughly confused me, but here are my thoughts nonetheless...

#1. Z can't go all to fast.

 

True, but he doesn't need to.  Our team CAN run, and should at times, but our grind-it-out style is a playoff style and we don't ultimately want to lose that identity.

As far as Z fitting in to a faster paced game, he surely can.  He needs to fill the fast break role that Shaq was supposed to in Phoenix... They run, but Shaq can't.  However, his role was to get the rebound and immediately make the outlet pass to ignite the break.  Z can easily do that.  We don't need 5 guys running the break.  Let Mo & Bron & Boobie, etc. run it, then if it gets broken up, regroup and reset the halfcourt and go to work.

 

2. If we add another big to this roster, and who we might lose in the trade.

3. If we don't make any other moves how much will JJ Hickson be involved in the rotation both now and torwards the end of the season.

 

The sense that I am getting is that they have a few options on the table, and are just deciding what will work the best.  It appears that the choices are to trade for an impact big now, or hold off & let JJ see some floor time.  Then, if he doesn't appear ready yet, sign a vet free agent big and/or target a big time PF/C at the deadline.

 

4. who are starting shooting guard is. *I am not sure about Kinsey, but IMO Wally and Pavs aren't as equiped for a faster style of play as Gibson and West could potentially be.

 

I think Daniel has the offensive skill set to be our starting SG, but his size and Mo's size would leave or perimeter defense far too vulnerable.  I imagine we'll see Sasha & Mo starting at the beginnning of the season, with Daniel & Wally/Delonte coming off the bench together

 

5. Mike browns offensive knowledge. Not sure about his past credentials but he has seemed to struggle at times on set peices(which could also be attributed to lack of a quality supporting cast.)

 

Mike Brown has the skills to be a good offensive coach.  He just had 2 glaring problems in the past.... First, he didn't have the personnel to run his offense (or any offense really), and second, Lebron broke up plays and took matters into his own hands becuase he ultimately didn't have a lot of second options he could trust.  We now have both of those problems solved.

 

1. Olympics, although the faces are completely different, and the
quality of both the cavs roster, and those of the internation teams are
lacking,  Lebron looked awfully darn good in a more fast paced game
which we already knew and could imagine.

2.2010,(leaving) IMO Lebron seemed to have fun in a more open and fast paced game, and really why wouldn't he.  He has the speed, size, mobility and athleticism to pull of all kinds of crazy dunks, passes, lay ups, and 1's, and get the crowd on it's feet.  That seems like fun to me anyway.  My point is that players like Baron Davis, and Monte Ellis, Chris Duhon, Steve Nash, even a Chris Bosh, a Chris Paul, Vince Carter and Jason Kidd like that fast paced play, all all-stars(except Duhon)and we have seen so many of them be romanced by that style. Not to mention that New York has Mike D'Antoni who also coached the Olympic team and the Phoenix suns focusing on Lebron.  (leaving)  Olympiacos=lots of money.  Bigger market, better cities, historical franchises, coaches, Jay-Z, He said he likes New York , and waved to some kids there. HA...on and on the list continues.

 

Lebron does enjoy running the break more than we do now, but believe me, Lebron has great faith in the defesive system we have in place.  He's said it himself, and a lot of media types have confirmed it.  That system lends itself to a slower style of play, although now we can run a bit more with Mo in the mix.  The running style can be fun for any player, but bottom line, it does NOT get you far in the playoffs.  Look at the list of players you mentioned above.  Have any of them had playoff success?  Steve Nash is the closest, and that was because the Phoenix team was set up absolutely perfectly for that style.  However, even THEY couldn't get to the Finals, let alone a championship.

Teams structured like Cleveland, Boston, Detroit, San Antonio, Los Angeles, Utah... Teams based on defense are the ones that will succeed deep into the playoffs.  That's what Lebron has here, and that's important.
