HAHAHAHAHAH. Already gave up on IT?

So Cleveland traded Kyrie and a first for Clarkson, Nance, Crowder and a first. What a horrible series of events.

Shows you what kind of teammate IT is. Dude can not stick on a team, and he always blames the franchise or teammates.

Is this Isaiah Thomas-to-Lakers move a stealth move by the Cleveland ownership to make Lebron *not* want to go to LA this summer??

I don't get this from Cleveland's perspective. Clarkson is nice but has a significant contract going forward and doesn't do anything for their defensive issues. Nance is young and athletic and probably helps them more than Clarkson, but was he worth taking on a contract and giving up a 1st?

IT is just an expiring contract to LA, he won't be there in the summer.

Larry Nance to the Cavs is always a good trade.



(We got Kevin Johnson, Mark West, and the draft pick that would become Dan Majerle.)

It's a beautiful trade for LA. They clear cap space and add a first round pick. Not sure what they do with that space if LeBron doesn't choose them, but they can roll it over to 2019 and make some serious noise.

Makes me even angrier. Perfect trade for LA.

You keep out wojing me Wally, haha. I keep coming on here to post what you've already posted. Interesting to see what Utah is getting back.

So now it's Kyrie and a late first for Clarkson, Nance, Hood, Hill and the Brooklyn pick.

Wow. I love these trades for all teams, except Utah. I think the Lakers are the big winners, scoring picks and cap space (how do they get people to make trades like this with them time after time??). The Cavs, well, the return is mixed, but I do like it a lot that they are just saying "F*** it" and blowing it up. That's EXACTLY what they should be doing. They know it isn't going to happen for them this year, so they can't just sit here and do nothing. They need some players who are actual assets who can play for them going forward.

I don't really get the trade for Utah. What is the thinking on their end?
