Looks like they tried to low ball us for Kemba and couldn't get it done - so they got the Lakers to bite instead:

CLE gets: Jordan Clarkson + Larry Nance Jr.
LAL gets: Isaiah Thomas + Channing Frye + 1st round pick (CLE)

 

Cleveland get's its PG and still holds onto Brooklyn pick. Good for them. LeBron still leaving....

Lol fug the Cavs still trying to get Kemba.  They have ONE asset that' even worth considering, and that would only be worth considering if they were looking to trade for Batum or Dwight...  Not Kemba.

Btw, I think the Cavs won that deal walking away.  Frye has to be close to retirement, that pick will be useless, and I hope he can, but idk if IT will ever be the same.  Both Clarkson and Nance can ball and are Lebron's preferred type of teammates...

When's the deadline,  4? I'd only accept a 2 team deal where we can dump the majority of money this off-season and get the nets pick.

Have to dump Batum's, and if I was them get rid of Frank to get Willy some time. Have to include Kemba. Not sure what they would send back now though. That first round pick would have to come with something else I guess. And I don't see it.

Thomas and Frye are expiring contracts, and moving Clarkson frees up more money. The Lakers just got themselves a lot of cap space.

Yeah I saw that, but I was just referring to tangible long-term production.

And with the way things have went for the Lakers the last few years, idk how much that cap spacwe will help if no one wants to come there, but we'll see.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
