Only thing I can think of is that they want to get somebody to help them squeak into the playoffs so they can show Kyrie they're "committed to winning."

Trade needs to go down so we can see if Jordan Hills per 36 numbers are a reality.
Nothing says committed to winning like trading for 50 year old pau gasol and limping into the 8th seed only to get swept by the pacers. I hate this team.

The Cavs are a -6 team right now. Even if Pau still is a positive force (which I doubt) and is replacing guys like Bynum who are worse than replacement level, it seems unlikely that they can even get to -2 for the rest of the year which would lead to them probably still being too terrible to make the playoffs. They're pretty terrible and can definitely be in the mix for a top 3 pick so I don't know how aggressively they should be going after veterans right now.
Yeah, Favors' contract looks really nice now.

All aboard! The Love train!
Bynum's deal isn't guaranteed for next season.

Thing about that story is espn didn't make it up. I heard about the trade 3 weeks ago.

Liked Doc's answer. It's nice for the Knicks and their fans to want things.
I think its top 5 protected
Cause he won't wont win anything as the best player on your team so why pay him like one

This might be a bit old, but do you think Chris Paul injured himself because he was flopping? It looks to me like there was contact from Monta, but Paul really tries to sell the contact and sell the fall. He looks like he's more focused on flailing his arms than breaking his fall.

If anything, DeAndre's terrible moving pick caused the collision.

It looks like he did his usual "head snap and arm flail" flop but then realized "oh shit I really am falling" and didn't properly brace his fall.
Its really hard to say because getting caught on screens can lead to a lot of shoulder injuries for both the defense and offense.
It looks like he didn't brace for the fall properly because he was still in flopcopter mode but...
well, he shouldn't be flopping so much.

Paul needs to save the flopping for the playoffs, like LeBron.

Yeah, they were pretty good a couple of weeks ago. They even won against the Pacers on the road.

Ok I'll bite. Dwight is the best player on this squad and I think they would win it.

Splitter is out 3-5 weeks with sprained right shoulder.
I love that they did a whole bunch of these dumb win now moves for LBJ, and apparently haven't learnt.
Though i guess a 2nd rounder isn't really going to make or break the franchise.

That's not a championship team. Dwight's offense is too limited to be the alpha dog on a title team. The Rockets only chance at a title was going to be if Harden took that leap into elite LBJ/KD territory and Dwight became his #2 but now we've learned James ain't about that life.
