Hood traded to Cleveland for Crowder; Johnson to Sacramento

I like this trade. Once people cool their heads and realize he's gone it'll work out. If Quinn can get Rubio to the point where he can shoot, he's going to do wonders with Jae.

I do not believe that Crowder is much of a stretch 4. He had one year where he was an efficient threat from 3 and could stretch the defense. This year I have watched a few games where defenses sag off of him (thus removing his floor spacing benefits).

Even at 34% it's still a positive possession. He can help space still.

This is a bad trade! I really don't like it! People think Boston Crowder when they think Crowder. This is not what Crowder is nowadays. He's been trash all around - offense, defense, shooting, even rebounding.

I don't have as strong of a negative feeling as I did for the Rubio trade, but I would definitely have rather kept Hood if this is the best we could do.

just for the record, how do you feel about the Rubio trade right now? How will you feel if we win 60% of our games for the rest of this year?
 
I do think Crowder can push Ingles to the 6th man role, that I like him in more. He can also be the backup to Favors.

He gives us lots of options and is a solid player. I expect him to fit into our system and be a solid player like he was with Boston.

But again we got very poor value for Hood.

Cavs didnt value Crowder that much. I am shocked we didnt get a little more for Hood, but I think Crowder will be good for us and maybe we have a plan this off season for chasing a FA like Gordon or Jabari.
 
Also, this trade probably means waiving Thabo or trading him is basically a given in free agency. Right?
 
If we get Boston Crowder, this works. Joe Jesus was, unfortunately, a victim of circumstance. Sounds like he'll be bought out though.

No way he put Ingles to the bench. Ingles shooting is too important in the starting lineup.

All 15 players on the CAVs are under-performing, not only Crowder. That's an opportunity because he's undervalued. Playing with a good coach instead of Lue or well, Lebron, he'll prove he's good value on a cheap contract.

I agree with that. If you can't see that then you no clue at all how the NBA even works.
