IT will be lucky to avg 16 in Cle next season
Did Wade's scoring go up? How about Bosh? How about Love? How about Larry Hughes? How about Jamison?

Just thought about this: Word was the Cavs were really like 5 mns from the Love for George trade. Assuming Kyrie still wanted out, if they'd have made that trade and still been able to do this they would've had a crunchtime lineup of IT/George/Crowder/Bron/Thompson. That lineup could compete with GS. Plus they'd have the Nets pick

over the past 2 years danny has given 60 mil to al horford and gordon hayward
then he trades isaiah thomas, jae crowder, zizic, avery bradley, and the unprotected nets pick for kyrie and marcus morris

Without Kyrie the Cavs have no shot of competing with GS. At the end of the day that's what it's all about

He traded Fultz too.
There's Boogie and potentially Big Spain since it looks like the Grizz are headed for a shytty season and could need a rebuild. They now have the assets to go after either one, that Nets pick will come in handy plus like @jaguar paw pointed out they have their own 2018 pick, a deal centered around some filler + Zizic + Osman + Nets pick + Cavs pick could be enough to get Big Spain or Boogie.

i think this is a nice trade for cleveland. they get a player that can match (or possibly exceed) kyrie's scoring, a versatile 3 + d defender plus that pick? oh yeah, zizic too. that's a good ass haul, especially for someone who everyone knows wanted out.
for boston...shyt...it's a weird ass trade considering the deals they could've made earlier this off-season. on the bright side, they did land a younger, better franchise player just entering his prime.

The Lakers pick is protected, it has to fall between 2-5 for the Celtics to get it. If they don't convey the pick in 2018, it turns into a 2019 unprotected Kings pick. I don't think they won that because they gave the Sixers the piece they were missing, if Embiid is healthy and Fultz is what everyone thinks he is then Ainge has helped create a monster in their own division.
is he also going to grow 7 inches to be able to guard steph?
looking at it from that perspective, i agree
but if i'm philly i would have just taken dennis smith and kept the lakers pick anyway
The Sixers liked Fultz more due to his size and his ability to go between the 1 or 2, sort of like Kyrie, which is important since Simmons is going to have the ball a lot. They needed a player that could play at the 1 while being able to function like a 2, I don't think Smith can do that.

A jigga said Rose is better than Thomas right nowI remember last season as a Hawks fan, we had idiots propping up Dwight but he was trash as I said he was. Rose should be fine as a 6th man but his days as a starter much less a star is long gone.
He needs to look at what Eric Gordon did last year and model his outlook after that tbh
