Blockbuster Trade (Cavs, Knicks, Thunder)

theyre trying to use dion as a 6th man scorer like harden back in the day im sure

That makes sense but how is he going to co-exist with Reggie who is a very similar player (i.e. shoot first, apologize later).

we'll just have to wait and see, but one thing im almost certain will work is Shumpert in Cleveland he seems like a great fit to me

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Yeah Shumpert will fit in nicely in Cleveland. However, the only way I think they ever reach their full potential is if one of Kyrie or Love learns how to play adequate defense.

Ideally it needs to be Kyrie.

[Cuttinedge]

Dion Waiters and Russell Westbrook seems like a volatile backcourt.

I like the Cavs move to acquire Shumpert though, that will definitely help their defense.

yeah I don't think this helped OKC at all. This is gonna blow up in OKCs face before it's all over. Waiters and Westbrook gonna be at each other's throats

[Proudiddy]

Wouldve loved to get in on this deal. I don't know what we could've added of value to get one of Shump, Smith, or Waiters though.

But being that Clifford won't play Hairston but a handful of minutes a game, why not bring in a vet scorer capable of putting up a ton of points and you know Clifford will play him because he's a vet?

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I wonder what the protection is on the pick.

Top 20 maybe?

Top 20 maybe?

Top 18 Protected this year, Top 15 protected in '16, then in '17 it will become 2 second round picks

[camycamcan]

They're gonna combine for 50 shots a game

Reggie,Westbrook,waiters AND kd how do u divide the shots
