Remember how everyone ripped Dan Gilbert because of his emotional reaction to LeBron leaving? We all thought he was a putz; it's a business and LeBron can do what he wants.
The same professionalism applies to players. I don't expect a GM to cry if a player bolts and I don't expect a player to mope because he was almost traded.

Danny trying to figure out which of the two will be easier stick gang ties to
I think the Lakers and Nets Pick IT Crowder and Tatum or Jaylen Brown should get it done.
For a deal that is up in the air, weird timing for them to tweet this.

Amateur hour all offseason for the Cavs, from the top of the organization all the way down to the players.

Sources say the GE sponsorship and one of the championship banners from the '60s will likely need to be included as well

Don't give up Taytum unless Kyrie agrees to a 5 year contract extension
All of these players and picks for one player?
After all these years of Ainge being stingy af

Not unless they can line up another IT trade. Don't need two point guards.
Cavs not happy with IT's physical. They want more in the deal. Celtics are arguing that they told the Cavs all about the hip before they agreed to the deal and that is why the BK pick is part of the deal.
It won't be formally completed until the Cavs agree to waive Isaiah's failed physical. The deadline for that is sometime this week, like Wednesday or Thursday I think?
I'm guessing they are looking for this instead of the Nets pick rather than in addition to it (which would be insane). Apparently both the Cavs and Celtics value Brown/Tatum more than the pick and that was the original sticking point in the trade.
Cavs roster page has Crowder wearing #99 and IT wearing #3

Fucking dumb if the trade got altered
Kyrie wants to leave
If no team trades for him he'll sit out, you have leverage

What are the chances of no team trading for him? If anything the Celtics would have trouble moving Thomas if something that extreme happened with the deal.

Only if you think the Cavs doctors are better than the Boston doctors.
Why would a team trade for him if he failed a medical exam?
The dynamic would be different now if the trade was voided and the Celtics likely didn't want to pay him anyways. I doubt it comes to that though.
No, but I'd give Tatum and remove the Brooklyn pick.

Oh they just want Brown or Tatum? Why not both?

The article raises an interesting and often overlooked point about the wood and rope shortage. Where are you on that one, mainstream media?

Good. They're giving up a ton, Cleveland isn't getting a better deal and they know it.

Good. Fuck this deal. Already sending too much to the Cavs. Even with a banged up IT.
They can keep Kyrie.

If deal falls through Cavs just find another deal for Kyrie. Maybe it's not as of a good deal overall but having you starting point guard for the season with a possibly career ending injury isn't a good situation either.
You think the Celtics can do the same with IT? Doubt it.
