Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

How so? Clarkson is a very good 6th man (15 pts). So is Nance (around 9/7).

This isn't the IT of last year. He's a shadow of his former self and a complete matador on defense. He has also been quick to criticize teammates and the coaching staff (Love for being sick and Lue for not making adjustments). Cavs upgraded the bench and got rid of a cancer. Frye barely plays, so no loss there.

I get the player value but there is no reason they should have had to include the 1st. I still don't see the logic in that part of the deal.
 
Why oh why do the Lakers and Celtics get everything to go their way every freaking time?

Watch those dickheads use the pick (and some other stuff) they acquired to get off the Luol Deng contract.
 
I actually really like Clarkson, but thought he was a bit overpaid. And I think IT and Frye for Clarkson makes sense for both. However, I still can't comprehend how the Lakers got the 1st rounder out of Cleveland too.

The Cavs could have used their pick to get a Favors, Bradley, etc. This trade is really, really fishy.
 
Lakers are going to have room for two max players. I'm penciling George in as one...
It's PG and Lebron... its a better team than either of them have now with upside as the young guys come up.

Cavs just sealed they damn fate for Jordan effing Clarkson. You know LBJ told them to get these guys and I will think about coming back... this thing seems either fishy or completely incompetent.
 
I'm waiting to read that Boston has traded Abdel Nader and Theis for Rodney Hood and Aaron Gordon.

I am afraid I have become an NBA misanthrope.
 
Lakers cleared $13M in cap space. Wow, Cavs may have just facilitated the trade that will entice Lebron to go to LA now that they'll have cap space to sign two max contracts.
And pair with IT again?
 
Does Philly pony up for Hood now that their dreams of LBJ and PG are dashed?
 
Nothing. IT was basically a throw-in an is a UFA this summer.

Salary filler... He may get less money next year than this... has completely destroyed his value.
 
I would understand expirings for those guys... but adding the pick is malpractice.
