Cavs: Why not retire Number 5? 4 reasons to honor J.R. Smith

I think it’s pretty widely agreed upon throughout Cleveland that the numbers 2 and 23 should be hanging from the rafters in Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. As much as it hurts that LeBron left again for the second time, he’s the greatest Cleveland Cavaliers player of all time and therefore 23, and probably 6, should be retired.

It’s also pretty obvious how much Kyrie helped take home that 2016 NBA Finals trophy. Even though he’s a shell of himself these days in Brooklyn, 2 should be hanging from the rafters as well. I think Kevin Love’s “0” should also be retired, but that’s an argument for another time.
