Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

I imagine it was tough on that call to act like they wouldn't send Clarkson and Nance without the pick... don't play poker with Magic.

Look forward to hearing LeBron's thoughts on the trade, but I'm getting positive reactions from those close to him so far. Cavs get younger. Take on future money, which sends message of commitment. Lakers component aside, being framed as a thumbs-up.

The Cavs are overloaded with vets without athleticism. They have almost zero players who can create their own shot. They just traded two old vets for two super athletic guys. And Clarkson is a guy who can create his own shot. I don't think they should have included the 1st, but maybe that's what it took. Cleveland is better after this trade, but I'm not sure by how much.

Lakers were desperate to get of Clarkson. This deal is dodgy is ****!! Stop trying to defend it.
 
Trading IT is an addition by subtraction move for Cleveland. It's clear that Cavs players didn't like IT and vice versa. Check this out from just a few days ago...

They are up against the best in the East and the Warriors.

They got end of bench/rotation guys... This does nothing.

The subtracted a guy who wasn't playing (Frye) and a guy who couldn't defend and was a constant distraction (IT).

If Clarkson can be a threat 20 minutes a night, he's a huge addition over those two above.

You'd be happy too if you got your mortal enemy to pay more future money to help you get to sunny LA and give you a better basketball situation.

Can't wait to see Clarkson's defense on Kyrie/Wall/Lowry/Dragic/Curry (they don't make it that far this year)
 
So if Lakers could weasel out of Deng... they could have like ~$80 million in cap space is that right....?

And maybe nobody to spend it on either....... I think LeBron stays. I think PG stays. After that, who they getting? Melo? IT? Favors? Hood?

I think he is just Dan Gilbert's mouthpiece. This trade makes no sense at all.
 
If Hood stays, it tells me the FO is confident they can resign.

Lebron wanted IT gone hence why it happened. If he bolts, will be a funny thing.

Honestly, all it tells us is that the return wasnt enough to outweigh the risk of him getting vastly overpaid.
 
Hood to Cleveland... what is going on?
 
Based on the Clarkson deal we get five firsts and they take AB too.
