The Cavaliers are a laughably bad team this year whose issues are being paved over by another legendary Lebron season.

I don't think this Cavs team makes it beyond the conference semifinals against either Boston or Toronto.

What are the Cavs sending out to get Clarkson and Nance?

I remember the heat on these boards back in August for suggesting the Celtics won the trade deal. One of the few predictions I've ever been correct on.

I like this Lakers/Cavs deal for both sides. I've always seen Clarkson as a positive player, and the Cavs literally just need a Guard who doesn't poo poo the bed in their lineup right now. Nance seems like a good rotation player to fill 15-20 min a game for the Cavs, maybe more while covering the Love injury. Deal works for the Lakers too because it gives them a pick and cap flexibility.

To be fair the only way you make it to the NBA (much less become an all-star) at 5'7" is to have one hell of a chip on your shoulder

I figured Thomas had been lying about his height for awhile, but he actually combine measured at 5'8 3/4" without shoes and 5'10" with shoes, which surprises me because he looks shorter than that on the floor, maybe it's just cause there's so few sub-6' players.

Not sure what Utah or Sacramento gets out of those deals, unless they just wanted to dump players.

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.

Joe Johnson is just a guy I would assume will play forever. I'd never stat check him. I'd just assume he's gonna check in on some contender and do some old man bullshit and score like 15 points in 10 minutes out of nowhere after not even registering a pulse in like the previous month.

Lebron and Durant are rightfully villified for their Miami / Golden State moves because they created anti-competitive environments in entire conferences.

This makes sense. Now that I think about it, I don’t know if I have watched a Charlotte Hornets game since the 1990s.

Ron Artest was the best two way player in the league so theory disproven

:lol: remember when people actually said Ron Artest was the best two way player in the league

I feel like Ron Artest was just way physically larger than any other wing in the league back then. Basketball Reference has him listed as 6'6" 260.

And he just bodied people all game long. It was probably just physically exhausting to absorb contact from him over an entire game.

I love how Cuban pinned everything on a random HR director and disavowed all knowledge even though he’s been one of the most hands on owners in the league for his entire run. That’s believable.

I’m also super bummed about Kawhi.
