So OKC didn't actually give up Reggie? Just received Waiters?

Makes more sense, though I'm not quite sure why they would want Waiters.

The Cavs should have never traded for Love. We knew going in that they needed defensive help, especially on the wing and in the paint, and they dumped Wiggins (who plays defense!) for a piece they don't need. LeBron is a better player than a GM. If they think Shumpart is going to fix that defense, well, they're in for a quick playoff exit.

Apparently Twitter got broken by Beiber fans. Someone said one of his fans died and that's what all the fuss is about. I don't know. I've been waiting for people to post the news, but that's what I read on RGM. PEACE.

Getting picks, even if they are protected, and clearing up some cap space is a smart move but I'm not sure if they're the winners today. If OKC gets Waiters for pretty much nothing I think they're the winners.

I'm mostly just overreacting to the fact that J.R. Smith is now actually on this roster.

(though I do like the Shumpert pickup)

OKC sent the protected first.

Thing is I don't know where Waiters fits in the rotation. He's not a good defensive player, he hasn't shot well this season and he doesn't have the length and/or athleticism like OKC's other players. Reggie Jackson is more than capable of running the offense while Westbrook is out, and he already plays off-ball with Westbrook to close out games.

A protected pick that's going to be near the end of the first round really isn't much and OKC didn't give up Reggie so they can still move him in another trade once they realize they're not going to pay him next year anyways.

The only thing the knicks get out of this trade is a second round pick and cap space. They are gonna waive all 3 players coming to them. A bit of a meh deal. This season is over for them but how do they expect to attract talent in the off season?

We got rid of Dion and received a first round pick! Good riddance guy. Allegedly Dalembert joins his former teammates somehow. Shump with the pump comes to Cleveland as JR wears his favorite color. We won this trade but the Lebron the GM fucking sucks.

Jarrett Jack seems to always play well against the Mavs.

Mavs look like they left their offense in Cleveland, not much action after a pick and roll.
