cavs and IT cruzing to a victory tonight .....NO Problemo

I don't think they are cruising. Cavs are having a tough time with the Blazers.

they cruise with napier out there.

Cavs look scary good with IT3 back.

Was this trade worth it after all?

 One game.

First game back and he's looking good. You can tell he's playing cautious right now until he finds his rhythm again.

Yes. The trade was another smart move by Ainge.  IT is damaged and a free agent next year.  The pick is declining in value.  And, Crowder and Zizic were just salary cap throw-ins. Meanwhile, Kyrie is a star who can be the number one scoring option on a championship winner.

Let's wait till they actually face elite teams like the Spurs or Warriors. Their defense is still suspect.

Yes. The trade was about the future not this year.

The trade is DONE. OVER. CANT GO BACK. GET OVER IT. It4 is a good player, Cavs will be good with another good player. I know you guys want the trade to mean that it4 is now going to be bad but it doesn't! DA said from the beginning that IT(3) would come back but that it would take longer than they expected. He didn't trade him because he thought he would never play nor be good again! He actually said the opposite.

IT4 is almost 30 and looking for a fat check and Kyrie is 25, there is your main reasons the trade happened.

honestly with how well Kyrie has played, I don't even worry at this point if we 'won' or 'lost' the trade.  we have a great team, a great core to add to with GH coming back next year, and maybe the lakers pick. 

best of luck to IT, hope he gets back to fully healthy.  he certainly didn't look super mobile tonight.  He hit shots, good for him.

19 minutes and 16 points tonight for IT. When he is fully back watch for a very long Cavs winning streak where they overtake Boston and Toronto

I wish IT would have played us but let's think about it, would you want to play Smart your first or first couple games back? He wants to work himself back into it, not into a brick wall like Smaht!

maybe if the cavs keep him coming off the bench playing against 2nd stringers.  that isn't going to happen though.  he is going to start.  I think his impact is going to be smaller when he is starting.

How many games do the Cavs take off GS this year? One or zero?

Right, because IT scored all his points versus bench scrubs last year. ::)
