WOW. Isaiah, Frye and CLE 1st going OUT.  :o

Crazy. Good for IT, though!

This is a decent move for Cleveland that gets them younger while still allowing them to somewhat compete this year. Still doesn’t really help their terrible D, but they get younger and more athletic, which is good. I still don’t think this gets them past Boston or Toronto, though.

Never thought I would be glued to Lakers games...

Best thing about this is that unless they somehow get another first round pick, Cleveland can’t trade the Brooklyn pick now, which means this is probably the team they’re ending the season with.

Anyone really think Clarkson and Nance are going to turn Cleveland into a team that can beat both Boston and Toronto to come out of the East? I don’t think so.

Wait really???  ;D  :o

I thought now they could dangle it for Kemba or Jordan, but I guess not unless it's a 3-team deal (doubtful one happens though).
Yes really.  NBA wants teams to keep their 1st round picks at least every other year.

So hey about that IT video tribute on Sunday....

@SeanGrandePBP
I don’t want to start trouble, but I’m going to suggest Isaiah does not get a video in Cleveland.

Hope Crowder finds a way out of there too.

Lue has NO CLUE (no rhyme intended) how to use him.

According to reports, Knicks got a 1.5M trade exception from Hernangomez trade and have inquired about Yabusele  :o

Woah. Hood and Hill to Cleveland now?

Man, with these moves now in tow I actually like what Cleveland is doing. They’re getting a bit better now while getting significantly younger and more athletic.

However, I still don’t see these moves making too terribly much of a difference this year. That’s A LOT of change to adjust to, and they’re really just adding more depth, which isn’t exactly what they needed.

I have lost my appetite for the remainder of today. [dang], the Cavs dumped their crap and got back much better parts for one last Lebron run. How on Earth they fleeced everyone is beyond me.

I find it hard to think they are worse today then yesterday when looking at the subtractions and additions.
