Tremendous outcome for us tonight

[playdream]

Cavs trade their experienced veterans who will really shine in playoffs for the young inexperience ones and also don't have time to gel
Lakers become worse for trading away their hot core and receive IT

Both Wizard and Raptors stand pat

We get to keep Smart for Wizard/Raptor/Rocket/Warrior backcourt and sign him cheap this summer

And Joe Johnson might go to Warriors to destroy their ball movement

If anything this is a big W for us

[jbpats]

minus the mere fact that Johnson is being rumored to come here.

They need to win these next 3 games.

Don't think gelling will be a problem in Cleveland.  Trading away IT is a plus for them as they were not willing to concede his deficiencies and he was not all the way back. 

At the end of the day, if you thought we could beat Cleveland before, there is no way to know now whether it is still the case.

I'm also glad Nets kept dinwiddie...Nets should win some games and others tank late...keep nets out of bottom 5

I think The Cavs GM did an amazing job.  I am very impressed so much was accomplished today for them.  It might take them awhile to gel but they are a much better team in my eyes.

I've not seen this. Link to source  ?

LOL. Rose, Wade, Crowder, Shumpert and Frye don't "shine" anywhere, really.

Only source I found is a Mannix tweet that JJ will be bought out and Warriors Celtics first in line for his services.

They certainly got better, but I'm skeptical that they improved enough to beat us and/or Toronto, and don't see any way they beat GS. Remember, we got Munroe and can add a free agent shooter, so we'll be better too.

It really boils down to what LeBron does, and if Hood or Nance gets another injury, it could get ugly. They sent out a lot of problems, but only Shumpert had a bad contract. Clarkson's deal isn't ideal, and Hill's contract is awful. They gave up their 1st. If LeBron leaves, this deal isn't very good, although they'll be so far from a title it probably won't matter.

Not only that, but if LeBron bails, they have Hood, the Lakers players and the Nets pick to fall back on.

[Celtics4ever]

The biggest trouble the Cavs have is also their greatest asset on the court.   LeBron is devoid of leadership.  We will see if he can mold these players into winners.   I would bet that he can or will.

While I like the moves that Cleveland made because they got younger, anyone arguing that this substantially upgrades the team is crazy.  They took players from lottery teams.

I think I would take players from lottery teams: Devin Booker, Marc Gasol, Harrison Barnes, Aaron Gordon etc.
