Cleveland Found a Win-Win Situation With the Isaiah Thomas Trade

[Emoryal]

In the short term, Cleveland wins because of this trade. But it's a short-lived victory because both Bron and IT can bounce after this season. And there's a chance that Nets pick won't be a top 5 pick.

Why are nikkas overrating the nets all of a sudden? Or is it just because most of the East is shyt now because the Pacers, Hawks, and Bulls got worse? But even then can they get worse than the magic who were still better than the nets? And they lost their best player in Lopez.

I'm 99% sure if the Nets end up in the lottery, they're winning the #1 overall pick.


Even if they have the 13th worst record.


The NBA always compensates them for Bron's absence.


It's already in motion

Perhaps. We know the league has its own agenda.

Nets won't be good, but they aren't gonna be bottom 3 again this year. Even the Celtics know this, which is why they traded away the pick.

They could have given up the Lakers pick they got instead, but they gave up the Brooklyn pick instead after holding on to it for so long. There's a reason why

The Lakers pick is less valuable than the Nets pick, the Cavs didn't want something with protections on it.
