Well the Cavs should certainly be better than they were and the offseason has even more meltdown potential so this is basically a win for NBA fans

it obviously depends on what all the sweeteners are but even if the salarys are poop and poo poo they seem in a better post lebron spot than they would have if he left and their team was now gonna have jr smith: primary ballhandler

No Decepticon in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.
Wade: Hey Bron, remember when I would get the chance to hit the game-winners?
LeBron: Yeah buddy...those were some good times. *starts furiously texting Riley*

When I die, I hope they say I made the eSports industry a better place than I made millions of dollars.
Heavily protected second round pick basically means they just gave Wade away. Which is about his value now anyways.

Hopefully he can come in for a few retirement tour games in Miami, even though Miami is actually really likely to be an East playoff team.

Yeah if Lebron leaves the team will be more watchable and most likely a mid playoff seed if Love stays

In what world do you live in where that's "linear" improvement. It's almost the definition of nonlinear outlier year

One where I didn't check his stats, thought he looked like a slightly improved version of the same player every year.

Before he got traded to Boston he looked like he could put up 20 points a night on any team in the league, he was really really individually talented on the offense. Now he's a joke, and I don't think it's because the Cavs coaching staff is worse than Bostons (even though it obviously is)

Post of a picture of Danny Ainge being smart for trading a permanently injured player for a franchise PG maybe

it's very sad. He was so much fun to watch even on the really bad teams

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.
I'm kinda sad Derrick Rose doesn't get a shot at a ring anymore, other than that all these trades look good.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

The funny thing is I was driving back to work and realized I posted that extremely silly thing and had some empathy for our Gen Y A.I. friend.

Hey man I love IT and I will never forget last year. That's why I'm defending it so hard, it was a metamorphosis. This year really depresses me as much as it angers Cavs fans so I really hope the warm California air helps him get his Smile Back. And I will not do what you said, I fully give Brad credit for designing the system that allowed a 20 ppg super bench guy with massive defensive liabilities to become an MVP candidate for a first seed. Brad has much more to do with that :) Him allowing Kyrie to do the same is reflected in stats as well. You just don't like being wrong and that's not my problem

This is being glossed over because of how insane everything else is, but the Cavs ended up with the 2 best players in a 3 team trade involving no picks.

The Kings gave up the best player for two players who they might just waive one or both and a second rounder
