In an completely obvious statement. Timofey Mozgov talks about his possible move to Cleveland and how he would love to play with LeBron James. Quotes translated from Russian by Rush N’ Hoops.
Of course, it would be interesting to play for David Blatt’s team. I know his coaching philosophy well, after working with him on Russian national team. The thing you like about Blatt is that he always sets the highest goals for himself and for the team. Mozgov said he has no plans to force his way out of Denver. So far all the talks about trade to Cleveland are just rumors. My last season in Denver was good, and to try and do something to leave the team wouldn’t be smart. I would like to play with LeBron. But even though playing for a contender is cool, you got to understand that I want to be part of the team and not to just join a contender and ride the coattails, being a burden.
Lets make something clear. If Mozgov is traded to the Cavs. He will be far from a burden. He would instantly resolve the Cavaliers’ one glaring problem. Rim protection. He may not be a one man block party but with the right training, he could be. He’s a bug body and will give anyone problems. For the sake of the league. I really hope the Nuggets don’t pull the trigger. Give the Cavs at least one problem please, make the East a little interesting.
