IT Crowder DWade DRose Shump Frye All gone in less than an hour. I don't think I've ever seen a roster flip of this magnitude.
I have mixed feelings about that. I'm glad to ship off Clarkson, but I really liked Larry Nance Jr... and I think IT is a bad character guy. Wade going back to the Heat is good for him. He never should have left in the first place.
I'm more upset that the Lakers gave up Nance for IT. He was shaping up to be one of the Lakers' bigger stars.
Cavs got better just on the guard play lone. Hood and Hill fit far better and can play better D than IT and DRose.
Gonna interesting to see what happens after all the contracts are bought out. Warriors are rumored to go after Joe Johnson or Channing Frye.
Trade deadline has passed and Zaza Pachulia is still the Warriors starting center. If the Warriors starters are a Lamborghini Aventador, Zaza's the bird poop on the windshield.
Dunno about the big trade that happened today. Personally, i think the Lakers got more, but, that is just because i do not know much about the Cavs' new pick ups.
Break out the banners, boys!!!! Good trades in that they cleared out a lot of deadwood, still couldn't get rid of TT and JR. Yes there are people here apologizing for TT he's just had a lot on his mind. Basically meet the new boss ans the FO no longer begs asks Lebron for his approval. They said they wanted to bring in a change of culture, silly as that sounds that means Lebron at some point. Being he is the socalled leader of this team, a lot of what's been going on in the locker room falls on him. Its kind of funny how the definition of a leader has changed in the last 20 years. I remember a Seth Joyner story, with all those guys on those Philly teams the dude people answered to was Seth Joyner. His locker was right next to the showers, so if you were lacking you either faced him or went home stanking.
All Star Break can't get here quick enough. Warriors are playing complete trash basketball right now.
lmao cavs this isnt 2k. They got worse. Nkw you have 4 new people you have to mesh together before playoffs come. Cavs never fugured out all the others , how they gonna figure out adding 4 new players mid season
Nance was a hell of a player with the Lakers. Dude dunks like crazy. Speaking of the Lakers, great win from them. The years of rebuilding are slowly starting to pay off.
Biggest irony of the Cavs-Lakers trade, and I'm sure this wasn't lost on the Cavs either, was this move frees up tons of Lakers cap space for this summer that could potentially allow them to sign PG and...Lebron! But Cleveland had to do SOMETHING vs nothing at this juncture. And they went with "best they could get" (see also: when Kryrie wanted out of Cleveland)
Raptors and Celtics could've increased their chances of winning the East (hell, Celtics could've improved to actually cause more worry for the Warriors) but didn't make any moves. Still scratching my head at that.
^Raps and Celts and both are doing very well right now, no reason to shake things up in any capacity. Usually need to give something up to get back something worthwhile, and it would be ill-advised to mess up any good chemistry. With their Bench Mob the Raps run 10-deep, will probably see that even come playoff time when rotations typically get shortened to eight players.
Tom Thibodeau got T'd up for yelling at KAT. And then the Wolves lose by a point! Refs are turrrrrrible.
Yep, saw that. T-Wolves loose close at the buzzer again. Zach Lavine looked to be recovered though, good for him.
