  • IT, Jay Crowder, Ante Zizic and Brooklyn's unprotected 1st round pick in '18.  (A pick that is very likely top 5.)    Pretty good haul for a player demanding a trade.

  • Being a C's fan I wanted this trade minus Nets 2018 pick but I'll still take it

  • I'd say the Cav's got the better part of  the deal by far.

  • Yea I don't think the cavs could have done better. Pretty massive haul.

    Don't think it puts them in a better position to win the finals this year, but also don't think it puts them in a worse position. Even sets them up better for the future with the 2018 nets pick.

    The other question will be, can you let Kevin Love play like Minnesota Kevin Love and use Crowder as your spot shooter and go small?

  • The real question now is what are they going to do with all these players on their roster.   I think they said that they now have a 20 man roster....and all but one or two of them are names we all know well.

    Kyrie- thanks for the memories, won't ever forget the shot. But if you think you're "The Man" - that can lead a team to the finals by himself, you're delusional. Alan Iverson good- you had better hope the Celtics give you lots of help. 

  • No.. This is NOT a good trade.. Id rather have Kyrie than any of these 2nd tier level talent players.. But by the same token.. Don't let the door hit you in the ass, Kyrie.

  • Both Williams are actually free agents. So they are not technically om the team. Secondly, Isaiah Thomas just failed his physical in Cleveland, so there is that. Gonna be interesting to see what happens now.

  • Thomas did not pass his physical 

    so can Cleveland pass on the trade ?

  • Most likely they will get a more sweetened deal. Both sides have gone to far not to.

    Isaiah Thomas was a 2 time All Star that averaged 25.5 ppg, 2.8 rebs & 6 asst the last 2 seasons.

    Kyrie was 22.4 ppg, 3.1 rebs & 5.3 asst

    2nd tier?
