2017-2018 NBA Season Thread [Archived] Basketball • Page 4

Yeah, bad call on my part :(

 

Wait until LeBron pressures the Cavs Front Office to trade that 2018 Nets pick for a 37-year-old veteran at the trade deadline in February...

 

Kyrie is not that much better than Isiah

 

Only way I'd trade the pick is with a long-term LeBron commitment...which he isn't going to give.

 

Which is why I'm afraid Cavs will panic and flip that pick just to make some sort of desperate move at the deadline.

That said, I don't see LeBron leaving. But this is coming from the guy who was convinced Kyrie wasn't going to be traded either...

 

Kyrie is 3 years younger, but if we're talking about next year specifically I agree.

Cavs opening night vs. Celtics will be nuts.

 

Boston maybe shoulda just taken Fultz? Still don't really get that one. But o well.

 

I haven't really given it much thought, but who do you think some of the guys would be that'd be available around the trade deadline? I mean guys worth the Nets pick?

 

I think if they really like Tatum (which all signs point to) trading down to get him plus another very likely high draft pick is a smart move.

 

I'm not a huge fan of Thomas, but he's not a bad replacement, even if just for one year. Love that we got the Nets pick though. That's a huge trade piece or big investment in a young talent. Crowder is solid too. We've needed a solid wing defender not named LeBron. Overall, not bad, but it's all because of the Nets pick.

 

Definitely need a dislike button in these situations

 

haha same (as a Hawks fan), but I kind of like it. Feels weird.

 

the Cavs may now have the worst defensive backcourt in the NBA

 

Lebron has dragged worse Cleveland teams to the finals

 

Pretty happy with that trade as a Celtics fan. Going to miss Isaiah though, nothing but love for that bloke.

 

Everyone's talking about what this trade means for the Cavs-Celtics rivalry when we should be discussing what this means for the Lakers-Celtics rivalry after next season. God I love all the chaos of the NBA offseason.

 

Brilliant.

 

Great trade for both teams TBH,
As of right now IT for kyrie is pretty much a 1:1 swap. Both elite scorers, clutch guys and terrible defenders, obviously Kyrie has a higher ceiling so it makes sense to include crowder and the pick.
Crowder is gonna help Cleaveland tremendously on defense and the Brooklyn pick is great lebron insurance. Cavs shouldn't have any problem getting back to the finals

 

I've switched sides, that pick is too good. Boston got robbed. Good.

 

Wade maybe/probably coming over at some point too

Cavs are likely gonna be better. Good enough? Probably not. But ANYTHING IS POS3-1BLE!!!!

 

I think its a good trade.

Cavs are up in the air after this season with LeBron being on the table. IT and Crowder are good options to have if LeBron leaves.

Celtics had to give up more than just IT for Kyrie...IT's a scorer, but Cavs need a defender and IT was not it, which is another reason Crowder was included. This match up will be interesting!

My Bulls are gonna suck big time. I love Wade, but he needs to go to Cav's or Heat.
