This thread still gives me nightmares.
I took a long nap (like 3 hours lol), then woke up around 6:30 PM EST and immediately saw on Facebook (from Bleacher Report), "Cavs and C's actively talking Kyrie-Isaiah trade swap".
I was like, "oh, this again..." (b/c we'd been hearing it for a while but I thought it was never going to happen and I preferred it stayed that way).
BUT then, I scroll down and suddenly everyone is talking about it (Sportscenter, ESPN, NBATV, etc. etc.), and I check Twitter and Shams and Woj and everyone are discussing it.
Still didn't think it would happen, but it was an exciting-yet-nerve wracking time (I mean, it was a pretty boring August NBA-wise lol).
Then I go to play tennis with my sister and some friends outside our apartment. In that hour we played, the trade was made and official. I checked my phone at the end of the hour and found out 30 mins ago the deal was done from WEEI and every other site/reporter. This was a very hectic time and it stayed hectic for much of the next 2 weeks (Isaiah's injury, Cavs compensation, us overpaying, etc.). But it still felt dirty to make this trade after all Isaiah has done for us, and lets be real, NO ONE saw this coming before the summer. NO ONE. And yet it happens on some completely random day in August lol.
Anyways, just looking back at some old threads and seeing this one just gives me a lot of mixed feelings. Even if you read all the posts within this thread, many weren't happy that this deal was being discussed/about to happen.
And this was me right before going to tennis:
DID I REALLY JUST WAKE UP FROM A LONG NAP TO SEE THIS...
