Eliminate emotion and fantasy trades, and the only part I don't like is the Nets pick had to be included. But I realize because of the hip issue, the Cavs needed some insurance. I still don't like it.
Honestly, I don't think Danny wanted to pay max to a 5-9 defensive liability, with a chronic hip problem, closing in on 30 years old.
Irving is 25 years old, scores just as well as IT, and will be doing it for years to come, and has the ability to defend at a fair level. He can be left alone as a defender most of the time, saving team energy.
I liked Crowder, but he would take minutes from Brown and Tatum who need to develop. Brown will be just as good of a defender as Jae, very shortly. I'm looking forward to watching both grow this year.
