Vern Thompson

@Noah_Regier That’s the issue with these foam finger fans. You’re allowed to be realistic and critical of your team. Doesn’t have to be all fluff BS. I call it how I see it.

@VernThompson If you dont like it, dont be a Cavs fan. Simple as that. Like sheesh

The Cleveland Cavaliers unwavering loyalty to the delusion of Evan Mobley becoming a superstar is going to cost them championships. This could go down at the biggest botched offseason in Cavs history because of it. Mobley is a good player - nothing more.

@PJackson37135 Harden seems likely to help them out in a new deal. Which would make that trade a total homerun if it lands them Lebron

@VernThompson Not only that, that can't make up their mind on what to do with Harden. They still have that to straighten out.

@KingTiger262 Just facts on here. I don’t do the fluff “foam finger” fan stuff here.

@VernThompson Just doomerism on this account

@theRoyceBaker I just think he is what he is - which is a GOOD player. I’d just take a guaranteed superstar.

@VernThompson I do think Mobley could thrive with a strong SF. I’d like to see it.

@DavidTo30200800 Haha sounds good, DT! Nice profile pic buddy boy.

@VernThompson I’m glad we didn’t trade Mobley. Go root for the Pelicans, whiner.

@_ashonphull Yes - I’ll take a true chance at a championship rather than a total “what if” down the line. You can’t do both and win.

@VernThompson Would you trade mobley for AD. If it meant lebrons coming

@matt_villella If this offseason goes with no signings and losing key players - yes he will

@VernThompson Well said and then they will fire that moron GM and start all over again

@dabombk1 You may not be wrong

@VernThompson The Cleveland Cavaliers unwavering loyalty to the delusion of spider becoming a superstar is going to cost them championships more so, imho

@jtyler1120 LOL - and you could’ve had a true MVP level player - who’s not a “could be” or a “what if”

@VernThompson He’s 25 and already has a defensive player of the year!!!! Pass the mic chief!

@AyoCruxify Has to be

@VernThompson Whoever convinced this front office that Mobley is some AD/KG/Giannis hybrid needs to be stoned

@Dagoat24k I disagree. He’s had every opportunity imaginable. You can’t run a lineup with him as the main big anyways.

@VernThompson He has had to share with Jarrett Allen. We don't know what he can become because of the box he is put in.

@jakejake1975 The Cavs could’ve EASILY had Giannis or Jaylen Brown for him. No questions asked.

@VernThompson Perhaps if you feel this way so do other teams and that's why no one traded for him🤷

@tiigerr77 Because he’s a GOOD player and it’s a position of need. But it’s not because they think he’s going to be Giannis next year.

@VernThompson You have to ask yourself why are the other teams asking for him then????

@BeardsNFros Exactly

@VernThompson koby altman probably thinks he has wemby just waiting to bust out when its just another Zydrunas which like you said still a good player but thats it

@TheDude8898 Agree

@VernThompson Reminder pre-draft about Mobley. Questions about whether he even liked the game. No red asses on this team, team of "aw shucks". They got the their $$$.

@rayrat1747 I mean when is it going to happen then? Lol. He’s had every opportunity possible. The team desperately needed offense in the playoffs. It’s the same story with him every year. Again - GOOD player, just not a superstar

@VernThompson Mobley is a fine player. Hasn’t been givien the full opportunity to develop offensively, but you can see he has it. The defense is there. He’s 25, not 31.

@thinblue2064 I agree except I think harden is still a formidable starter with the right players around him.

@VernThompson Here's the truth Harden- a bench player at this point Mitchell an elite #2 Mobley an elite #3 Allen- JAG and we have no SF

@AEKeyse I mean how many years are we going to wait for this drastic transformation. Dude is a baller but that Giannis leap is never coming sadly

@VernThompson Yup. I’m all for letting guys develop but the writing has been on the wall for sometime

@TheTrueman_Show I’m not saying he’s not a good player and highly coveted - but you can go trade him for a true superstar and haven’t done that.

@VernThompson Arguably 2 of the best GMs in the sport (OKC and Boston) had interest in Mobley. Makes ya think. While he does not have KG’s demeanor - he’s the type of player (stretch/big) you need in this age of basketball.

@BReeder88777 He’s not a superstar. He’s a GOOD player. Which is great - but you can go get a true superstar for him.

@VernThompson Dude just made the All NBA team two years ago, won DPOY last year. Not every player needs to score 20+ a night to be a star
