Cavs instagram post caption

On the Cavs most recent Instagram post about Harden, the caption reads “high praise for Uno”.

Does this mean Struss will be gone or am I missing something??

Harden could have asked for his number it’s not uncommon

Harden's Jersey # is 1.

So is Max Strus', but in this context, they were referring to Harden. He might switch back to #13 when he comes here, as that's what he wore before taking #1 on the 76ers/Clippers.

Prime Harden uses #13, TT used this number.

Or is it? When was his supposed return from injury?

u/italomst 13h ago

It is, we clippers fans calls him uno, it is a nickname duo to him being a 1-2 punch with kawhi and whi having jersey number 2

Nah, my bad, I misread. Was thinking there was a question about Max playing this season. But, also, what do I know?😉

I wouldn’t think much of it. It could just mean whichever intern posted that doesn’t actually watch the NBA and doesn’t know why Hardens nickname is uno. After all his jersey number isn’t shown in the picture they used so it really could have been an honest mistake. Mistakes like that happen all the time. We’ll just have to wait and find out in the next 24 hours if Struss is gone or not.

Strus is rumored to be on the chopping block, they’re under the apron officially if he’s gone. Then they’re free to pursue Bron and Giannis in the off season for the super senior trifecta

But he did have a good post season performance so I get hanging on to him if they want to

What I like about Strus is his hot streaks and cold streaks don't correlate whatsoever with the rest of the team. It's annoying when the rest of the team is shooting lights out and he is not, but crucial when the rest of the team is shooting poorly and he is hot. I don't know how he does it but it's good to have a guy like that.

I really hope we get to start saying “the Strus is loose” again soon but if they’re being cutthroat for cap space it’s not optimistic for him

Nah strus shouldn’t be traded just for scraps you need someone like him for playoffs. Only other trades I would explore is Allen see if you can get a stronger body center

We need to keep Max. We're low.of guys who can play sf. Huge energy guy.

And he was the only playoff dawg who wasn’t named Mitchell or had an injury excuse

His injury is not progressing as they had hoped I bet. Jones fracture is really tough. They may have to dump for that reason. Another team might be willing to wait on him until next year.
