Good job GarPax, Cavs gets a much, much better package for a lesser player

Pain, I'm not desperate for a qb so much that I'm gonna give you one of my top two rbs AND one of my top two wrs for your third or fourth qb. And I don't wanna give up a starter for a lateral move in RBs . That 4th QB gives almost what those 2 combined would get. We're not talking Bortles.

Traaaaaape alert!!! Man Cleveland wins big in this deal. And they're gonna get wade. Can we just skip to the finals LOL On the surface yeah. But now Boston clears up room for Tatum/brown. No drop off on offense at pg. No having to dish out a max contract for a dude shorter than me. And they still have picks out the ass. I can totally see why they did it. And I'm just glad this will put to death the idea of Kyrie coming to the Suns. Fun Fact for you guys: the Cavs just traded the 1st overall pick from the 2011 draft to the Celtics for the 60th pick of the 2011 draft

Next years draft class is pretty loaded so Cavs will get a good start on the rebuild. IT on D pretty much guarantees GS the title again though

It is nice to see (at least I think) Ainge and the Celtics finally commit to something too. They've got to think Brown/Tatum will amount to something very good. Irving and Hayward may still be young enough to have all 4 of those guys in their primes together. Granted Tatum and Brown may just be entering theirs as the other two are exiting their primes.

Remain competitive enough to attract FA's, while still holding draft picks, and if the FA plan doesn't work out, the hope is that Tatum/Brown pans out in a big way.

Mainly if boston doesnt make the finals this year and Irving elevates himself to MVP canidate then we overpaid simple as that. Only other thing i can think of is Danny feels the Nets Improved themselves enough this offseason to get out of the basement and wanted to move the pick before it fell out of the top 3. alot of pressure on Lebron now this is HIS team now.. I mean it was in the past but he would pass blame as much as possible he cant do that now.

And I'm just glad this will put to death the idea of Kyrie coming to the Suns. Certainly a hard trade to gauge. Celts needed to move IT. They couldn't give him away for nothing or the fans would revolt. They needed a more believable scorer and they got what they wanted. It was no secret that they weren't thrilled with Crowder and he was going to be moved eventually. It's always tricky when you trade within conference, especially with a conference rival. Kyrie will be fine because he will dominate the ball, as he should. In the immediate sense, Cleveland is the one taking the gamble that IT can coexist next to another ball-handler in Lebron. The problems for Boston occur in the long-game. They just gave their rival a top pick in a seemingly loaded draft, which could become fuel for LeBron to stick around and not head West. This is one of those trades that we won't know the true impact for a few years. I do find it a bit interesting that Ainge wasn't willing to give up that pick for Butler, but he was for Kyrie. Seeing as how they need scoring, I can kinda see it, but in a vacuum, Butler > Kyrie.

For the fourth time in five seasons, the player who has appeared on the cover of the NBA 2K game has changed teams. While there’s not much more than a coincidence for each instance, it’s interesting to note the athletes chosen are usually among the most high-profile and noteworthy in the league.

Good job GarPax, Cavs gets a much, much better package for a lesser player I think it was a different situation.. Boston wasnt going to include Thomas in a package for Butler because we would be without a PG and we knew we had a VERY good shot at Hayward. also we werent given up the pick in this years draft we were deadset on tatum it seems... My guess is we probably would have given you Bradley and Brooklyn's pick this year along with Fillers to make the contracts match. I think if Dunn can reach potential and Levine can bounce back from the Knee Injury you have a better building blocks to rebuild.

Not that I would accept that deal but Bradley and 2018 BKN pick is much better than what the Bulls got. Dunn is a 23 year old 2nd year player who had serious problems scoring. It's not like he wasn't given chances. Lavine is good but he's due for a max contract next summer without a full season recovery from the ACL. At least the BKN pick is a good gamble in a strong draft.

I'm fine with keeping all 4. I want to use 2 to upgrade other skill positions. What you offered so far hasn't been an upgrade. 4QBs allows me to play the matchups, and I'm covered on my bye weeks.
