Cavs acquire Mozgov from nuggets

[thenatural]

The protections on the Memphis pick were crazy. 1-5 and 15-30 for two years. Not seeing that pick until 2017 kind of puts that into perspective.

The OKC pick hurts because they could possibly get it this year if OKC can improve in the standings.

They are on the title track and vets aren't fond of rookies doing on the job training (I.e. major minutes), so I can see why they made the trade.

Dog the proof is in the pudding. The Cavs had like 4 lottery picks on the roster last year and still lost a thousand games. Every team in the league has multiple first rounders, and the only ones that win consistently are the ones that have superstars. Its a crap shoot and the Cavs already have 3 "stars"....

A proven role player >>> a 50% chance at a role player 2 or 3 years down the road

Not if you have to overpay for him. And especially if you're still going to be thin at that position.

when ur a championship team with the best player in the league draft picks arent important

Dog, the team that won the title last year had 1 lottery pick in their starting 5, the rest of the team was put together via late first rounders, 2nd rounders & trades.

The Cavs drafting poorly is an indictment of their GM at the time, not first rounders as a whole.

I dont like losing that Memphis pick but we gave up Jon Leuer and a vending machine to get it in the first place

 

[Dayco23]

Looks like the Cavs are also getting a 2nd round pick...

 

[THE MACHINE]

low key....

To put this in perspective.

The Mavs gave up one protected first and several second rounders for Tyson Chandler and Rondo

The Pelicans gave up one protected first rounder for Omer Asik

The Wizards gave up one protected first rounder for Marcin Gortat

Cavs overpaid due to the time of the year and the lack of any Centers on their roster.

The nuggets got a better package for mozgov than Boston did for rondo



Although we will probably try like crazy to flip wright and jameer

I just saw the phone alert, and the cavs are gonna give up 2 first rounders for fukking mozgof??!?!??!?

 

[JBoy]

isn't two picks damn near overkill for Mozgov?

 

[Brozay]

What assets do they have left?

this is what I'm trying to figure out.

He's not the best player in the league anymore, and the Thunder have built a solid base around KD & Russ with mid first rounders.

The Bulls got Jimmy Butler at 30 and Nikola Mirotic at 23.

lol@ 2 firsts

They really going all in on that squad

 

[jaguar paw]

this is what I'm trying to figure out.

As of now?

Just the swapped pick with Bulls this summer and that Haywood contract. That's about it.
