Didn't think they had it in them tbh considering they've been sorta slumping lately.

It's almost like a legitimate Allstar and MVP caliber player is the most valuable commodity in the NBA. Trading pieces for a stud is always the right move in a star driven league.

Uh that's pretty bold. Not sure a 36 year old James would still be a stumbling block. Golden State is full of chokers so it shouldn't be a problem to beat them at least once when KD falters and Draymond kicks someones crotch.

[McMenamin] Isaiah Thomas on the eve of the trade deadline: "I don't [want to be traded]. I'm tired of being traded... I like it here. I definitely want to be here. We definitely have a real chance to win an NBA championship, and I want to be a part of that."

Still can't believe Aige did not go for Tyreke. They could have him for a 20-25 1st rounder.

congo, did cavs replace their players with bigger, more defensive players?

I'm asking because I don't know much about the guys they got.

if what I'm asking is true, I see what they're going for... gsw still solos tho.

hill is a good defender with size...the other guys they brought in aren't really known for defense tho. hood is big

the main thing for them would be replacing the corpses of wade/thomas/drose..

the new guys at least want to be nba players lol

yeah, what i noticed was they're all big players, I'm going to assume they put in a shift too.

I know thomas got injured and missed half the season, but why did he flop? wasn't he good with the celts?


rose has been done for years....wade is on a farewell tour.

probably a mix of rust coming back from injury and the worst team-fit possible...and lebron's system is very different from thomas having any shot he wanted on boston/team built around him/hiding him on defense

They're not just big, they can shoot well.

Allowing the floor to open up for drives.

Best part is they can actually hustle and play defense too.

Plus he had a huge ego that wouldn't allow him to adapt to the system.
