Cavs Acquire Rodney Hood, George Hill In Three-Way Trade With Jazz, Kings

[CelticsElite]

Cleveland Cavaliers have acquired Rodney Hood and George Hill in a three-way trade with the Utah Jazz and Sacramento Kings.

The Cavaliers will send out Derrick Rose and Jae Crowder to the Jazz.

Joe Johnson will be routed to the Kings, as will Iman Shumpert.

Sacramento will also receive Miami's 2020 second round pick plus over $3 million in cash.

Hill, Hood, Bron, Love, Thompson --- is this 5 man unit good enough to make the Finals again?

Yeah, it could be. Good perimeter additions. Cavs back in the race for the East.

Sad to say, but I kind of like that new Cavs lineup.

- George Hill

- Rodney Hood

- LeBron James

- Kevin Love

- Tristan Thompson

I think that's a better defending squad. Still full of shooting. And then Clarkson, Smith and Nance coming off the bench.

That's a good team...

Looks okay but we thought the same when they got Crowder and IT.

Isn't this awesome for the Celtics 2019 pick if/when the Lakers pick does not convey?  Sacto just shipped out George Hill.

Cavs made some good moves. Danny needs to get Tyrie to even the score!!

Aren't the Cavs trying to even the Monroe score?

It is certainly possible, but this certainly has lower upside than what the Cavs had at the start of the season with IT returning to form and Crowder staying the same (plus Wade).  Also think about this?

Curry >>>>>> Hill
Klay Thompson>>>>>>>>Hood
Durant=Lebron
Green>> Love
Zaza<Pachulia

I mean, how is that not a sweep?

Huge difference in upside between that lineup and last year though, right?

Yeah they will get the top pick and we wind up with Sixers #15 pick. That’s how our luck usually goes in the lottery.

Bad timing on IT s part with the quote yesterday of " Im tired of being traded".  ...poor dude.
