Lol Derrick Rose

[lebomb]

I just think the Cavs got a WHOLE lot better. Trading away dudes that cant score for a ton scorers. IMHO of course.

Hood, Hill, Clarkson and Nance Jr. Good young new core. Skumpert, Rose, Crowder were all done anyhow. IT just didnt fit.

Yup. Remade their team and going all in on keeping LeBron.

[Chris Fall]

So George Hill, Rodney Hood, Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance in.

Isaiah Thomas, Channing Frye, Iman Shumpert, Derrick Rose, Jae Crowder, their own first rounder out.

That’s making something out of nothing tbh.

Mark my words......Cleveland will be much better quickly. They will start winning games. Lebron had no help on offense. He does now.

[RsxPiimp]

Lol Derrick Rose

dudes making $12 million alone from adidas this year .he’ll be fine.

[Chris Fall]

What is Utah’s motivation to do this?

[RsxPiimp]

cavs have turned tosb’s into young prospects in a snap of a finger.

[DMC]

:lol IT wanting a max deal, getting packaged along with a 1st round pick and another player for a couple mid tier guys.

That's priceless

I guess the honeymoon is over for him.

JamStone. I stopped posting under that name for a while, then I got comfortable using this one. Pretty sure it’s known this is my troll account. Maybe people forgot. I know I’ve revealed it multiple times before.

[Chris Fall]

Still want to know why Utah made this deal.

[DAF86]

Hill, Hood, Lebron, Love, Thompson

Clarkson, Smith, Korver, Green, Nance

That is defenitely better than what they had and, more important, that starting lineup shouldn't suck on defense. If they somehow turn Thompson into Jordan, they could go back to being the team to beat on the East.

[lebomb]

Hill, Hood, Lebron, Love, Thompson

Clarkson, Smith, Korver, Green, Nance

They are back into the top 3 again now IMHO. Boston, Toronto and Cleveland.

that's a lot of moving parts midseason though. still if anybody can make it all gel, its a guy like lebron

[lefty]

Lol

Rose to be released by Utah

[DAF86]

They never left the top 3, tbh.

nance cant score but agree on the rest ...

[lebomb]

Probably not, but they went from a slipping in the top 3 to a solid in the top 3.

love cant defend agree on the rest tho

agree on both counts and if he does Sook and harden can bitch about if he does get them to gel his mvp csse stregthens even Harden is the clear fave ..

[RsxPiimp]

nah son, that troll account is too smart for dumbjohn:lol

[DAF86]

I know, but the players around him should make up for it.

[djohn2oo8]

nah son, that troll account is too smart for dumbjohn:lol

Have you gotten up off your knees after #StayD12 yet?

[RsxPiimp]

Have you gotten up off your knees after #StayD12 yet?

no sir, will continue to suck dicks until we get an all star quality FA sign on the dotted line.

[djohn2oo8]

cavs have turned tosb’s into young prospects in a snap of a finger.

Larry is still the same player he was in his rookie season, good rebounder but no offensive game to speak of.
Clarkson is s streaky shooter with subpar defense and poor shot selection.
Hill is a journeyman that turns 32 in a few months.
Hood is solid, has some range and can stretch the floor.

Please let's not get carried away:lol

[phxspurfan]

Hill unnecessary, Hood awesome. and they gave up Crowder who was good and Shump who was shit. I bet they offered Shump and Thompson but Utah wanted Crowder

[phxspurfan]

So George Hill, Rodney Hood, Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance in.

Isaiah Thomas, Channing Frye, Iman Shumpert, Derrick Rose, Jae Crowder, their own first rounder out.

That’s making something out of nothing tbh.

And Wade gone too (no need since Hood will be the new Wade). If they convert their other asset (pick) into DJ somehow, watch out.

+ 1. Definitely an upgrade over their previous roster but nothing to write home about. Celtics or Raptors can beat them through chemistry alone.

But they gave up shit to get those guys. Shit Thomas. Shit Rose. Shit Shumpert. Shit Crowder. Shit Frye. The only bad thing about the deals for Cleveland is the amount and number of years left on Hill’s contract. Overall, they get younger and more athletic. And Hill is a clear upgrade at both ends over Thomas. And Cleveland still didn’t deal the Brooklyn pick. Win all around for the Cavs.

Just because they didn’t trade for Anthony Davis and John Wall, it doesn’t mean it still wasn’t a great day for Cleveland. Considering what kind of assets they had to work with, their trades were impressive.

100% agreed.

Dumping Skumpert alone was worth it all. Dude has sucked for years IMHO.

[Clipper Nation]

It's still better than the nursing home roster that was limping out there for the Cavs, tbh.

all true my man but like what people have said, its who they gave away tbh.

Hill for Rose is a great improvement for this season. George is an above average defender when engaged and is hitting 45% on 3's.

$19 million/yr is a steep price for someone who declined defensively.

[AlexJones]

What a great trade deadline for Cleveland.

[Splits]

Lol Derrick Rose

Man, NBA twitter is so cringe :lol

Man, you're sucking off the Cavs awfully hard. You seem really excited for them.

[DMC]

Lol

Rose to be released by Utah

He hasn't played in San Antonio, so he's not ready to retire yet.

Playoff raptors :lol

[TimDunkem]

Playoff raptors :lol

Can't wait to see lose homecourt after the first game. :lol

[AlexJones]

Cavs are a really good bet at +150 to win the East.

[Bynumite]

People actually hyping up this trade :lmao The honeymoon stage is over, now it's back to reality again. They not better than they were before.

Isaiah and Wade playing better without Lebron too but media won't ever call out Lebron for turning good players, into mere spotup shooters because he gotta chase his all time numbers and climb the leaderboards.

They not coming out the east and if by a miracle they do, it's a brutal sweep to rival 2014 spurs-heat.

[lefty]

WELP

[Raven]

Cavs are a really good bet at +150 to win the East.

congrats tbh
