SHUMP NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Fuck man.

Happy to see JR out though.

SHUMP But his future is better with Cavs than with Knicks.

 

[Fjordson]

Shump is a nice piece, but I dunno. Is he and Dalembert worth it for JR Smith?

Also really confused in who OKC is getting out of this.

 

[Pimpwerx]

In my car. Just heard on the radio.


LOOOOOOOOOL!

 

[overcast]

So this helps the Cavs out defensively.. how?

 

[victreeb3l]

I would have been okay with it if they found some fool to take on Bargnani.

Sigh.

 

[Tom Penny]

Great trade by the Cavs. Waiters was nothing but a chucker.

 

[CB3]

Great trade by the Cavs. Waiters was nothing but a chucker.

Have you heard of JR Smith?

 

[Pimpwerx]

Great trade by the Cavs. Waiters was nothing but a chucker.

Yeah. JR is totally known for being judicious with his shot selection. LOL! Terrible trade.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Meanwhile, can the Cavs beat the 76ers tonight with Kevin Love and a box of cracker jacks.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Cavs got rid of Waiters for JR Smith, and Shumpert that is a huge win for them.
Knicks gave up a lot for a dude that they may consider a starting PG.
OKC giving KD another reason to leave after next year. I don't see why you do this deal without acquiring Shumpert for your team.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Oh wait, Shumpert is included? WTF? That's actually a good deal for Cleveland then. Replace one chucker with another, but add a perimeter defender. The radio didn't give the full details. PEACE.

 

[LyleLanley]

This feels like the kind of trade the Cavs would make last time LeBron was on the the team. Overpaying for marginal talent.

"Source said that Reggie Jackson is NOT coming to the Knicks. It's salary move. Pieces coming are for waivers." @StevePopper

"Sam Dalembert is not in the deal. He will be waived today." @StevePopper

"Knicks will get lance Thomas, Alex Kirk and Lou Amundsen in the deal - expected to waive all three. Also getting future second rounder."

Not sure how reliable this guy is.

 

[Soonri]

Yeah if OKC is giving up Reggie Jackson for Dion Waiters... LMAO!

E: oh never mind

 

[CountBlack]

The NBA fuckery is real tonight lmao

 

[LyleLanley]

Yeah if OKC is giving up Reggie Jackson for Dion Waiters... LMAO!

They may not be.

"Reggie Jackson is not included in a deal to the Knicks, league sources tell Yahoo Sports. So far, unclear if he's headed anywhere at all." - Woj

Sounding like the Knicks are just embracing the tank.

 

[alr1ght]

JR Smith is a bigger cancer than Waiters, plus he makes way more money.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Seems right Knicks going to lead the Tank army.

 

[victreeb3l]

Hope we get picks.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Hope we get picks.

If the above source is true. All that for a single 2nd round pick.

 

[Pimpwerx]

JR Smith is a bigger cancer than Waiters, plus he makes way more money.

He's kinda the same player as Waiters though. So that was a sideways move, but done to get Shumpert. That seems to be the real target of the trade. The Knicks just used him to get rid of JR. I'm thinking it's not a bad trade for either team. What is OKC getting though? PEACE.

 

[LyleLanley]

If the above source is true. All that for a single 2nd round pick.

Same guy is saying it's a future 2nd from the Cavs.

 

[victreeb3l]

If the above source is true. All that for a single 2nd round pick.

Plus getting JR off the books I guess. Dunno if thats worth it but *shrug*. Dalembert is getting waived.

MAKE MORE MOVES JUST DISMANTLE THIS TEAM DO IT PHIL.

 

[PBY]

Shumpert isn't that good guys. I don't really get it. And now they have JR

 

[friskykillface]

JR + LeBron > Jordan + Pippen


Should have kept the Shump god, he will be huge for the Cavs

Wouldn't be surprised if Bass and or Green go to the Cavs, get someone decent though Ainge :/

 

[alr1ght]

Durant will never get the ball in OKC.

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

Sooo can we trade Chalmers for picks???? Anybody??? Please???

 

[Tom Penny]

Shumpert isn't that good guys. I don't really get it. And now they have JR

Probably a chemistry things. Lebron didn't like Waiters game and should love J.R's.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

What is OKC getting though? PEACE.

Waiters.

Maybe he'll grow a beard.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Waiters.

Maybe he'll grow a beard.

Why is OKC giving up Reggie for Waiters? What? Did Presto go full retard or something? PEACE.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Why is OKC giving up Reggie for Waiters? What? Did Presto go full retard or something? PEACE.

Reggie didn't get traded.

 

[Cheddahz]

Yeah, the Knicks don't plan on winning any more games this season

 

[MetalFearSolid]

So Cavs just needed a third team to get involved so they can dump Waiters. I see.

 

[LyleLanley]

Is Twitter acting weird for anyone else?

 

[Pimpwerx]

Everyone on Twitter is waiting for Woj to update. Broussard is waiting for multiple sources to retweet Woj. PEACE.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Is Twitter acting weird for anyone else?

Yeah, my feed is (mostly) dead and behind the times. I just had a 25 minute old tweet from Zach Lowe pop in 2 minutes ago.

 

[alr1ght]

yeah, not updating at all.

Good to hear it's not just me, some tweets are coming in but they're out of order and appearing like they came in 20 minutes ago.

 

[CreepingFear]

CES killed GAF and Twitter today.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

CES killed GAF and Twitter today.

What's a CES and tell it to stop ruining the internet.

 

[LyleLanley]

LOL apparently Amare favorited a tweet saying that the Knicks should waive him too.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Zach Lowe ‏@ZachLowe_NBA 4m4 minutes ago
This is not the way I had expected J.R. Smith to eventually break Twitter.

Right?

 

[cb1115]

this trade broke Twitter

fuckery was just too strong

 

[chicagocubsfan]

LOL apparently Amare favorited a tweet saying that the Knicks should waive him too.

lolololol

 

[Randolph Freelander]

You can get more recent tweets by going to their profiles, by the way. But the feed itself is hosed.

Yahoo Sources: New York's J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert on way to Cleveland, Dion Waiters to OKC, in three-way deal. http://yhoo.it/1wfPbYh

[Cheddahz]

LOL apparently Amare favorited a tweet saying that the Knicks should waive him too.

[CreepingFear]

Butler just took Harden's soul.

 

[overcast]

Butler rejected the shit out of Harden lmao.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Josh Smith sucks

 

[overcast]

The fucking Rockets defense this quarter.

 

[Soonri]

So the Knicks are only getting a future protected 1st and future 2nd. Waiting on the protections on the first but...
