NBA Trade Deadline 2018

I have to take issue with that. They don't seem tight knit at all to me, especially with the Kawhi issue hanging over their heads. They don't play with a crispness that reflects being tight knit.

I am just going by what Manu said.

I think they do miss Kawhi and Rudy and the undersized lineups make them vulnerable to both athleticism and bigger sized teams like the 76ers. Pop is playing younger lineups too, who need repe ion and experience... plus chemistry of their own, confidence and without Kiwi they are less talented as a team. Having less talent on the floor means they can’t afford as many mistakes.

Love Cleveland's aggression, tbh..Hood and Hill are as streaky as they come and Clarkson is a ball-hog who doesn't play defense, but at least they added hungry players who won't be lazy and feel en led(unlike Thomas, Rose and Crowder)..

Hill/Clarkson
Smith/Hood
LeBron/Korver
Love/Green
Thompson/Nance

That's a pretty versatile lineup..it lacks star power, but still far better than what they had prior to today..

Cleveland did a damn good job

This my biggest issue with PATFO in recent years, especially after the decline or retirement of all members of Big 3..To me, they are just not proactive enough to pull moves like these for plug-and-play rotation guys or 3rd tier borderline "stars". We are not going anywhere with this Irving/CP3 or bust modus operandi....

I still don't understand why Utah gave Hood up. They only got Rose and Crowder? Or did they also get a draft pick?

Cleveland showing it’s a real contender, unlike the Spurs. They knew their roster was trash, and did a complete overhaul. Meanwhile, the trash Spurs roster stays put.

WHY!!!???

Tom T gonna Fatality DRose’s knees once and for all tbh.

[Clipper Nation]

WHY!!!???

One of the many downsides of having a combination GM/coach: they're obsessed with signing players they've coached before.

[rjv]

i didn't even know some of these people existed, much less played in the NBA.

[tholdren]

[BatManu20]

Manu is a good company man.

Pop once said the underestimated IT as a player in SAC and they missed him on a market. may be it's time to get him after a buyout))))))

[lebomb]

This will be epic!!! Lonzo and Hart is your guard lineup. Neither one can score. Assists and rebounds should get the Lakers there.

Well, he's certainly short enough to fit right in.

[Leetonidas]

I would puke if spurs even considered that cancer Thomas

That he is... bar of soap...

[BatManu20]

Can't believe how many people in here are envying the Cavs' moves right now ..

They just gutted their entire roster because they know Lebron is gone this summer and they traded multiple draft picks in order to make it happen... They basically just assembled an entirely new roster with 30 games left and that's not nearly good to win a Championship anyways. They're a dumpster-fire right now, period.

[sasaint]

After Cleveland's wheeling and dealing, the next 52 minutes will be an anticlimax.

[NASpurs]

Devin, Denver, Doug McDermot Dallas... det alliteration.
