I actually was wondering why the Cavs would make this move until I read the article - Isaiah didn't fit in with Lebron because the dude is a lot like Kobe and there is no room for him(IT) to grow as a young player. Jordan Clarkson running the point is about as good as he ever will be and will be glad to play second fiddle to James. Nance brings some youth and will also get to grow with more minutes. It turned out to be better for both teams then I thought at firstIce cube hates the trade lol
I think it was a great trade and possibly a good trade for the lakers tbh. I absolutely hated IT...
Not necessarily - the Lakers have a core of young players that have the potential to be as good as the Warriors Curry and Thompson. They could easily wait another year until the 2019 free agency and hang on to Deng another year and then wave and stretch or they could re-sign Randle which they might do any way and then sign either Paul George If he is available or Demarcus Cousins and then pick up another free agent next summer. The Lakers are playing just as good right now without Clarkson and Nance - in fact they are up by 20 points tonight against Oklahoma - go figure that one outIt is only a good trade if they get two legit max players. If they don’t, it’s worthless

I was thinking he was younger - but he will be history this summer - the Lakers will not want to sign him long term. He is difficult to deal with and gave the Cavaliers to many problems.A young player? IT's 29. I could see calling him a young player if he was in his early 20's. IT's nearing the end of his career, not starting it. Although all I care about is the Celtics winning it all. Which isn't happening because of the loaded Warriors. I don't think there's a team in the league that can beat G.S. in a 7 game series.
Not right now - any way - Some where in the next two years, though some one will challenge themA young player? IT's 29. I could see calling him a young player if he was in his early 20's.

Adding James and PG is back in play next summer.
Or waiting till the summer of 2019 to add max players.
Or adding 1 max guy this offseason and 1 in the summer of 2019.

Nothing lasts forever - Time marches on - ya know?Couldn't agree more. No way they win more than the next two. And the way to bet is the team making changes after that.
LOL nothing, exactly right. I really don't think we will ever see another 4-peat in the NBA, and 3 will be extremely tough.Nothing lasts forever - Time marches on - ya know?
Let's put it simply. The Lakers took their shot 100 yards from the target when they could wait 4 months and take their shot 20 yards from the target. They could still hit the target, but the 20 yard shot is an easier shot to hit.

Nance will be welcomed with open arms in Cleveland. They basically have 2 Tristan Thompson's now and Jordan Clarkson was really heating up lately. Makes you wonder how much of an upgrade over Clarkson, Thomas even is. It's an odd move, the odd moves aren't stopping just because Jim Buss isn't at the helm anymore it seems.
