My bad, I thought he was a UFA
Reggie is restricted, he can't just walk.

That was a big part of me saying CLE had no leverage. They don't have to trade Reggie this year. Even if they did, there's no real argument to suggest that Dion is so much better than Morrow/Lamb that OKC now has more flexibility to trade Reggie.
My impression of the deal was to basically replace Reggie with another rookie deal that goes for a year longer... but tbh, I don't know what OKC is doing. If they wanted flexibility, they should've rid themselves of Perkins a long time ago.
In general, even though I think it's a bad fit, I get the general idea of using the TPE to take a calculated gamble on someone young. I don't get giving up a pick (for Waiters) and possibly paying LT for Dion. I highly doubt OKC pays LT so they will move someone, but I just don't get the overall deal.
Just have to wait and see how everything shakes out. The pick may be a non-issue if it has a lot of protections on there.
that delusion
i really don't understand why would okc do such a trade do they intend to keep perk or something? makes zero sense, they also don't have a backup pg now and westchimp is just returning from injury.
Only way Waiters will help the Thunder like Harden did is trade Waiters for Harden, lol. He will help a bit though, but they can't replace Harden still have no idea why they thought that trade was a good idea for the franchise.
So basically the Knicks win this trade via default.
The only way they can win anything.
JR should do us a solid and drive Magic to Cleveland tbh.
Pretty sure he's top of the league in steals
Waiters has a high ceiling and he was great before this year . Cant hate him for wanting out, people were saying he could be a top 3 SG before getting benched thanks to LeBron
Good thing happend. OKC is no longer a threat. There is no way that Scott Brooks will figure it out, how to play Durant, Waiters, Jackson and Westbrook.
s playin checkers......
Lol OKC.
Kinda like how Deandre Jordan is near the top in blocks?
OKC seems to be going the way of the 00 Suns, 90s Suns, 00 Blazers, 00s Kings, and 90s Sonics. Up and coming contenders with great promise but nothing to show for it.
Knicks did the right thing, blow that team apart and start from scratch.
Not sure why Cavs did this though. Shumpert was a decent player with potential, but he's been horrible this year. JR Smith is a cancer on the decline, you don't want him on his team even in his prime, so I don't know why you would want him now. But I guess if Lebron could handle Ricky Davis, he can handle Smith.
