Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com notes that the Cavs are looking forward to
their practice in Napa, Calif., on Friday for a multitude of reasons. As
for Thomas, Richard Urena Youth Jersey writes McMenamin, he will be on a minutes restriction whenever he
returns to the lineup:
"Dynamic scorer. I think a guy who can score 10, 12, 14 points in a
row," Lue said of the skill set that Thomas will bring to the Cavs. "Can
run pick-and-roll, can come off screens. He gets to the free throw
line. So he adds a different dynamic to our team offensively."
...
"Play with pace," Roberto Alomar Youth Jersey Lue continued when asked about Thomas' role. "We want to attack and
score early and he can do that. It'll be exciting to get him back."
Before Thomas suits up, of course, the Cavs are also looking forward
to their Napa retreat.
"Steve Kerr came up to me before the [Christmas] game and was like,
'Man, I heard you guys are going to Napa. That's really great. And it's a
great time to do it,' " Lue said. "The grind of the season is long. And
it will just be something special for the team. Just team bonding."
...
"This is all T-Lue, Roberto Osuna Youth Jersey this is all Coach Lue," LeBron James said of the idea for the team
travel to break up the road trip. "Whatever we were going to do, we were
ready for it. For us to have a unique opportunity to go travel in wine
country on one of our days off, I think it's pretty cool that our coach,
through a gruesome season, a long season and right now throughout the
holidays when we're away from our families, for us to be able to kind of
get our mind away from basketball, not being with our families, to be
able to go there and learn some things and also taste some great wine.
Just to decompress for 24 hours, that's pretty genuine on his behalf."
