x0x Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 People forgetting Irving threatened knee surgery so literally anything is better than keeping Kyrie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they did the best they could have at the deadline while not giving up their biggest future asset. The way they were playing, they might have not even gotten out of the first round. Now? Back to contention for the East and the bad blood in the locker room is gone. It’s certainly gonna be interesting to see how these trades impact the Cavs moving forward this season.

Mossburg Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Well, Gilbert has done way more than you can expect an owner to do to appease a player, except hire competent people to run the org I guess. Gonna suck when LeBron walks after all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showtime Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 9 minutes ago, CWood21 said: Pretty much have to look at it from the perspective of two separate deals. LNJ for the 2018 CLE 1st is the first part, which makes sense. I like what LNJ brings to the table as far as energy goes, but he's not much more than a 3rd big. He's not a starting big man by any means. He's a hard worker, big dunks, and high energy but he's not overly talented. A future pick is more valuable to the Lakers than LNJ is/was. As for the Frye/IT for Clarkson swap, they're essentially trading a known quantity for future cap relief. IF the Lakers weren't planning on being active in FA, that swap wouldn't make sense but they are. And Clarkson's value is on a win-now team that isn't going to be a player in FA. How many max contracts can the Lakers sign this off-season to team up with Ball and Ingram? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 If Lebron leaves in the offseason and the Cavs retain all of their other current players (plus add a top 5 prospect in the draft via Nets pick) do they make the playoffs next year?

CWood21 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Just now, showtime said: How many max contracts can the Lakers sign this off-season to team up with Ball and Ingram? Two. Which is enough to sign LeBron James and Paul George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner/front office has made this team much worse over the course of one off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, just much better fits and they got younger. That's a team that's dead man walking on far too many nights. My concern is still come playoff time when the Cavs are in tight games and it is nothing but LeBron isos. The way he plays in 4th quarters, he's always needed another shot maker or creator that could play that style. Wade and Kyrie could, and a healthy IT could, but now? He better be super human in damn near every close game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
