Not sure Cavs got the better end of that deal. Lakers got off money for next offseason and got better as a team. Win/Win for them if they're serious about big moves this Offseason.

the cavs got younger and faster and at least on paper, defensively better as well...they don't need a ball-dominant point guard, everything runs through lebron anyway...it certainly won't be a cakewalk for them in the east but their chances became significantly better compared to 24 hours ago...
i agree about the money part but don't know if thomas in this form and frye make the lakers a better team...

Clarkson is trash, I'd much rather have IT even in his rubbish form from this season. One of the most overpaid and overrated players in the whole league. Nance is a bit of a loss, though. Underrated impact player.
I don't really know if the Cavs got better at all. Hood isn't great off the ball, Hill has been worse than IT has been this year. Crowder has been poor by his Celtics standards but he's still a much better defender than anything they got back. It's probably a wash I guess.

yeah it is at best a wash on offense, defensively they are negatively impacted. they don't care about this season anyway so it doesn't matter to magic what they do for the rest of it..
hill is still a significantly better defensive player than thomas, nance also makes them better defensively...again on offense it is not a significant improvement but defensively i think they got better...whether these changes plus the lebron factor is enough to get them out of the east remains to be seen...

IT has been trash. He is a huge minus defensively, probably the worst player on that side of the game in the league. And he is scoring ****-all on awful shooting. Add the fact that he doesn't know when to STFU and the expectation he has of having the ball as much as LeBron and it was a must trade. You can minimise Clarkson's role and bench him and no one blinks. IT is a walking publicity nightmare if he isn't playing - all the stories would be about him.
I think the Cavs got better for what it will take to win the East but they're simply not beating this GSW barring some injuries or something.

Kawhi sooking about a smaller shoe contract offer than the other top players is one of my favourite stories of this season. Who'd have thought never doing media or public appearances and having the personality of a chunk of sandstone would make you less marketable as a player? What an idiot.

Fmd I don't think I've ever been so relieved to see a sportsman walk off court on his own.

Me too, as A Celtics fan.
Anyway some of the trade proposals I am getting on Fantasy league make me wonder if people think I haven't been following basketball over the past decade

and now durant is questionable with rib soreness...the warriors are really banged up going into the playoffs and it is not going to get easier...i don't see any issues with them getting to the conf finals even if they are limping but if houston stays healthy, i can see them winning the west and very likely the finals as well...
