I wouldn't have minded acquiring Mudiay. I'm not a big fan but I'd give him a chance. Can't be worse than what we're running out at pg
No thanks. He's the Nerlens Noel of point guards. He has a bit of a good rep from his draft position, and he has great physical measurements. But he can't play basketball, and he has played fewer and fewer minutes each season in the NBA. The Knicks are welcome to him.

He has been absolute trash, but we have no PGs. Seems silly that we weren't in on this just to kick the tires.

That’s not a fire sale. The Cavs significantly upgraded their roster short and long term today. I am very impressed.

Noah Vonleh to the Bulls for next to nothing. Could have tried him here. Glad we are holding on to our 17 2nd round picks. Swing and miss.

Just checked the board to find Cleveland went a little nuts this morning.

Lets check on Cavs fans?

Lakers always find accommodating teams. until he's gone, Thomas's scoring should help them win a few more games, to the detriment of the team with their pick.

as far as Cleveland, it's a conundrum with Lebron in the middle

btw, if we scored in the draft, why wouldn't PHX be one of the possible destinations for him and another star within the next 2 years?

IT had to be moved. Did you know he was shooting something like 20% off of passes from LeBron.

Yeah, we burned all our bridges with Rich Paul & Klutch sports. LeBron is not signing here.
Go Suns!

Because the Suns are a rudderless joke of an NBA franchise.
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

IT is just an expiring contract to LA, he won't be there in the summer.
Add 2 more cities to the list of places IT will probably never play again.
That chip on his shoulder is getting HUGE!

Speaking of Noel, whatever happened to that guy?

Absolutely. Got younger, faster, deeper, better defesively.

That for the price of a low 1stR (granted, in '18), two unwanted forwards who overall were pretty overpaid for their current production and two guards who were not wanted either and weren't providing jack. Fry was a loved guy though (under the former CBA he would be primed to pull a Stackhouse).

They even cover their asses if LeBron leaves despite this upgrade effort as all the guys but Hill are young. That, and the Nets pick should make easier the transition.

Now think about the possibilities for Cleveland if LeBron stays thanks to that pick. Say it remains #7. You are sure to be drafting the last one of the greatly hyped prospects incoming. Or if you get a commitment form LeBron before the draft, you shop the pick and can easily add another star.

The may not win the title this year but LeBron has a new team to help him extend his prime and tyranny of the East. I bet Boston and Toronto are shitting their pants.

I'll take it. Nice work. It's the pick we got from Memphis. Cut his damn hair though.

Man it can't hurt unless you get stupid and give him a bad contract. Maybe he can make a good backup if he remains with the team next year. Because I assume we are not trading for him with plans to make him the long term starter (or else...).
