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.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.
