The Deal, Cavs-Celts, winners, losers

[Mecca]

I Dunno man, Gasol's a gunner now.

I don't think I have ever smiled so hard after a loss like I did when he stuck that needle in the Clippers eye.

I couldn't stop laughing at that dance move...lol

Wow IT out til AS Break according to CBS

Report: Cavaliers' Isaiah Thomas could be out until All-Star break due to hip injury

I almost cried when I thought we were signing Rose.

Now he is the key to keeping the Cavs within striking distance.

Yeah, Connor loves to get his George Jefferson on ...lol

Merton Hanks/Shaq O'Neal have nothing to worry about...

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

it does make me laugh the 2nd rounder the Cavs got is originally from Miami--- a pick they dealt in a salary dump of Zoran Dragic. Good Ole Mick- using his picks to save $. I REALLY hope that pick becomes Manu Ginobili/Isiah Thomas/Jae Crowder 2.0...lol

And that pick will turn into a player who prob sniffs an NBA roster.

It makes everyone here laugh that the Cavs just traded Kyrie for a player who potentially might not be 'right' the entire season.
Oh yeah. It's also LeBrons contract season.

Good luck with that.

Cavs may very well finish the regular season 3rd in the east if these reports are true. IT is going to have 26 games to learn how to play with LBJ and vice versa.

Assuming that when I.T. returns (if its mid Feb) that he's somehow in game shape and stays healthy.
Let's not forget.
HE IS ALSO IN A CONTRACT YEAR and needs to be healthy more than he needs to prove his ability heading into the summer.

In other words, he's going to be in no hurry.

Why?
Gives you another chance in the lotto.
Just a year earlier then expected.

Man I really feel for the guy. He's in a shitty spot right now.

last pick in the lotto doesnt give you very good odds at a stud....impossible? no--- likely? lol...

I mean, look

#5 was Fox- who i thought was a steal there

#7 was Markenen- one of the better stretch 4 prospects in the last couple years

#9 was Smith Jr.--- who was grand larceny

even #11--- Monk...i thought was really good value.........people really liked Zach Collins at #10 as well




and then at #14 you had a tweener center that cant shoot. Basically a poor mans TT.



there was a really nice tier from 1-5 of guys that are elite prospects---- from 6-11 you had some really good ones too- but guys with flaws


after 11 it really started to drop off. Probably fairly typical. Those extra handful of wins last year were HUUUUGE though. SO important. lol

 

[Vyle203]

Looks good on him...

 

[Wamu]

Looks good on him...

Just great! The Celtics have another player from dook.

I hate that too. But they're smart, aside from the whole "the earth is flat" thing of course.

That team earned the right to compete for a playoff spot.
No Heat fan has any issues with it.
As far as the pick, from what I've seen, heard, read, I also have no issue with.
Bam has said that he has way more to offer then what people saw while at Kentucky.
Summer League results mean nothing, but we did see his versatility, which does.
