they basically gave him away for nothing.

And the Celtics were the last team they should’ve made the trade with. The Celtics basically gave up a player they didn’t want to play for someone younger and better, a player who can easily be replaced and a pick they didn’t need.

Lebron will surely leave, all they have is the 8th pick and meh to shytty ass roster.


They also should’ve at least kept DRose or Wade for their playoff run because it will be the last one the cavs see for a long time.

Kyrie Irving is a 26 year old PG with a very serious knee injury who didn’t want to be in Cleveland.

It was better to move him sooner rather than later.
He’s not a bum and he will still have good years ahead of him. But I wouldn’t want to be the team that offers that knee a max contract extension or whatever.

He would undoubtedly have helped the Cavs this year, as Lebron can rely on little outside of the occasional Kevin Love or Kyle Korver hot streak. But he wasn’t the franchise’s saving grace.

They could’ve gotten something better for him than a 29 year old 5’9 180 pound point guard who was a horrible defender who had undergone major hip surgery though. For all intents and purposes, they got nothing in return for him.
