Actually Cavs wins this 3 team trade. They get considerable upgrade from chump ass Crowder to a younger and better Hood and George Hill is type of excellent 3&D solid PG a contender needs over a broken Rose.


Wtf was SAC and Utah thinking in this trade?

Crowder will do well in Utah. Hood is at the end of his deal. Plus he doesn't defend. Rose and Johnson will probably be bought out. There aren't a lot of picks available at the moment, so Utah did pretty good for a non contender.

Clarkson and Nance to the Cavaliers. Don't know what the Lakers got in return

- - - Updated - - -

Isaiah Thomas, Channing Frye and apparently Cleveland's 1st round pick to the Lakers.


Wow

Wait. I just thought of something.


Dan Gilbert, in the span of less than a year, turned Kyrie Irving into Jordan CLarkson AND had to give up their 1st roudn pick to do it





- - - Updated - - -

So wait. Wait wait wait. There's more.


The Lakers just got 15 million off of their books, and got a 1st round pick to do it as well.

that cant be true from 3 1st picks and 2 4th picks + signing Lebron to this

- - - Updated - - -

And a 1st round pick.

And now here is something else to think about. If they can trade Deng and attach that 1st round pick that they just got from Cleveland, they could potentially open up 3 Max Slots.

And to those Celtics fans out there who are somehow convinced that this means the Lakers will slide back into the #2-#5 range in the draft. Thomas and Frye both do something better than what Clarkson does. Something they have desperately needed. 3 point shooting. The Lakers only get marginally worse, but they are currently have the 9th worst record in the league, and they have more talent than the 8 below them.

The Cavs just got Rodney Hood and George Hill. It was a 3 way deal. I have no idea who went where.

- - - Updated - - -

And now they are trading D Wade back to Miami.


What the hell is going on

- - - Updated - - -

Shumpert, Rose, Crowder, Frye, Thomas, and Wade, 2018 first round pick are all gone from the Cavaliers.

Hood, Hill, Clarkson, and Nance are in

this doesent look as terrible for them as 1st mentioned, they get younger and can build a mediocre team on this again once Lebron is gone

 

[ALC]

Cleveland should just disband all their sports teams. Once Lebron leaves, they’re all going to become crap again. Not sure what it is anout that city.

 

[KB824]

God, how I wish that Boogie didn't get hurt.

If I were the GM of the Lakers I would have gone all in on him and George.

Dan Gilbert is off in Lala land. Only redeeming factor of today for the Cavs is that they managed to keep the Brooklyn pick. Oh, and keeping Cedi Osman too. I think he's a future star. Really intelligent player.

I'd say they are still worse than last season, and probably at best just moved sideways with the deals today. They definitely didn't get better imo.

Psyched to see what Magic can pull off in free agency over the next two summers. 2019 looks like it could be a big summer too, so Lakers definitely don't have to be stupid this summer with gifting max contracts to those not quite worth the max.

Bogdanovic MVP

Bogdanovic MVP

Yeah he was lights out from 3! It's funny to see yet again team world plays more team ball while team USA goes for hero ball selfishness lol.



It was kinda unfair from the get to tho, having Hield, Murray, Bogdanovic spotted up on the perimeter with teammates who pass and being A show game with no defence = Team USA has no chance.

Jazz fans love him. Certainly had taken a lot of sting out of the Hayward butthurt.

Hayward who? No seriously what a great bounce back by Jazz for losing him and getting this kid. Nuggets are morons for trading away the pick that got you this guy.

He is amazing in general, but what he did on rising stars game is what I meant, GAWDLAWDALLMIGHTY

The Jazz have a good organization. Gobert is a monster and Ingles is a lights out shooter, but he's best coming off the bench. I think they're moving back into playoff relevance faster than people think. Unfortunately they have to make their mark as a developmental squad and will most likely always lose players to free agency. If they can pull a solid 4 and upgrade the PG position from Rubio they could make some decent noise in the west.

There was a list showing the five best defensive duos in the NBA and top three went like this:

Embiid-Simmons
Embiiid- Redick
Embiid-Covington

 

[Osman]

Embiid AND Reddick??


The only thing JJ can defend himself on is the big gaffe he made just now calling Chinese fans chink in an NBA promotional video.

If you are going to try and put a new spin on the National Anthem, there is only one person who has ever done it right.

First of all, that’s just butthurt people hearing things, he never said chink.

Second of all, that’s supposed to show what a monster Embiid is

he really is. potential best player in the league if he stays healthy

only if Simmons doesn’t surpass him
