They also got a bunch of young guys that they planned on having for life after LBJ which was the goal so they wernt left with Manny Harris and Christian Eyenga as starters after LBJ left Nance is a really good player. Not a All Star but he is a positive impact type player with his ability to shoot/pass/handle as a big man and will fill the TT role nicely for coming years once he gets traded. Given his development this year I will actually say given starters mins. Nance is actually a better player than TT. Wade asked for a trade, was unhappy here and wanted to go back to MIA so you cant blame that on the Cavs for honoring his request. Sexton is a normal sized PG and given where he got drafted, he was absolutly the right pick. He was the #8th pick not 2nd or 3rd. Garland was widely regarded as a top 3-5 talent in the draft and the Cavs went for BPA over need. Cant blame them again especially as a team thats not a FA destination. Wade did not as for a trade. He did an interview after the trade and said he did not want to be traded because it would put a blemish on his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSURacerDT55 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 We just traded for Andre Drummond, why tho? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We gave up legitimately nothing (Henson, Knight, and a 2nd round pick). I would guess they want to see if they get lucky and can sign and trade him in the summer? Or maybe he's the stop-gap center while we rebuild the roster? I guess it's really just a no risk move. See how he fits in with the team and figure it out in the summer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigben07MVP Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Yea we gave up pretty much nothing and hopefully we get lucky and him and K Love enjoy playing next to each other and he opts in to his player option next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdrawkcab321 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I love it. Zero risk. Traded 2 scrubs and a worthless pick for one of the top centers in the game. We’ve needed a shot blocking rebounder like him for a long loooooong time. TT was never effective as one. He’s a good fit next to love too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have tried to flip those assets for a 1st or a wing ...What assets? No one in their right mind is giving up a first round pick for two expiring contracts and a 2nd round pick. That's the whole reason most of us are "whatever" about this, we gave up nothing of value. Well, the 2nd round pick had a tiny, tiny amount of value. But this isn't 2010, no one is giving up 1st round picks for salary relief anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSURacerDT55 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 And his contract would put us at the cap next season if he opts in, ugh..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSURacerDT55 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 And he has a HORRIBLE ATTITUDE and HORRIBLE EFFORT guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big poppa pump Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Not sure why people have a problem with 17 pts 15 rebounds a game? And a rim protector? He is slow in this NBA game, and doesn't shoot 3's, but his game is still strong imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LETSGOBROWNIES Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 Should definitely help us get an idea just how good/bad the guards are defensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 Still need a win defender, but Drummond is a legit rim protector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the best part of the move to me. Our guards look terrible defensively, but don't have any help. This gives them the help, will they still look terrible?
