Top-59 protected second round pick it is.

*In the 2011 draft, so all stipulations have already been met. Trade complete.

 

[Cornbread78]

just throw them a 2nd rounder or two and call it a day. No need to drag this out....

 

[Duxxy3]

 

[Cornbread78]

2nd rounders are pretty useless when you already have 2/3 first rounders to find roster spots for!

It's the principle of the matter.

Get your Thomas Cavs jerseys before the trade gets canceled.

Even Rashead Wallace had a longer career with the Hawks lol

 

[Duxxy3]

It's the principle of the matter.

Exactly.

 

[Cornbread78]

Exactly.

I'm talkin' 'bout olive branches.. olive branches here!

 

[Duxxy3]

I'm talkin' 'bout olive branches.. olive branches here!

I already think the trade is lopsided. Why would the Celtics give even more?

 

[LyleLanley]

I'm talkin' 'bout olive branches.. olive branches here!

If Ainge gives up a single olive branch he deserves to be fired.

 

[Duxxy3]

Can we got to olive garden after this?

 

[LyleLanley]

Can we got to olive garden after this?

I would rather die.

 

[Duxxy3]

I would rather die.

But... the bread sticks...

 

[Tom Penny]

Not sure why they haven't thrown in jaylen and Tatum. Cavs would take that deal methinks.

Nah. Bogut is coming off an injury.

 

[Cornbread78]

Ok, we'll include a pair of Big Ballers, due to ship in Feb!

 

[Jay Shadow]

That should be the NBA standard for making the money even out. Trade exceptions will only exist in the form of Big Ballers.

 

[jbug617]

Cavs have not contacted the Celtics as of yesterday about needing more compensation.

@joevardon: Per a source, as of yesterday afternoon the Cavs had made no request to Boston for more on Kyrie-IT trade

[True Savior]

What Cavs really want is Gerald Wallace jersey (the last one he used). Huge memorabilia value in the future. Strangely enough, Danny Ainge sniffs it every night and is reluctant to let it go. Fucking weird stuff.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

C's working out Thomas Robinson?!?

Isn't he trash?

 

[LyleLanley]

C's working out Thomas Robinson?!?

Isn't he trash?

I thought he was a decent rebounder.

 

[jbug617]

Crowder working out at GA Tech today

Isn't he trash?

No, he was drafted 5th he can't be trash.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

No, he was drafted 5th he can't be trash.

On the other hand he was on the Lakers.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Nah. Bogut is coming off an injury.

Cavs will add Javaris Crittenton to the deal.

 

[msdstc]

I thought he was a decent rebounder.

Can't defend, can't distribute, just can't play.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Isn't he trash?

Energy big. Nothing more.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

So who is better, him or Bogut?

 

[msdstc]

So who is better, him or Bogut?

Bogut not even close.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

So who is better, him or Bogut?

If Bogut is reasonably healthy? Him easily.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Kyrie's in a Boston uni in the latest 2K18 trailer. Will they have to switch it again by end of week?

[friskykillface]

Bogut is meh but for a vet minimum he's a god

There are funko pops of Kyrie and Isiah
Will probably get recalled if the trade goes through so pre order to get $$$$$$

Yeah Lonzo gonna become the GOAT

The short ones, the pudgy ones, the ones who couldn’t drive or kick, pick or roll, rise or finish, those were the players Lonzo Ball wanted. You could take the five-star recruits with the superhuman wingspans and astronomic verticals, with the vision and knowledge and feel. But not the scrawny 16-year-old perched at the end of the bench, still waiting for that growth spurt, still working on that left hand. You had to leave him for Lonzo.

The ritual unfolded after practice at Chino Hills High, Ball begging the JV to stick around for pickup games, then assembling the most ragamuffin squad he could. It extended to the half-court in his backyard, Ball plucking some uncoordinated neighborhood kid, then challenging all comers to two on two. “You learn that everyone has a skill,” Ball says. “You just have to find it and bring it out.”

Rockets players, staff and personnel are safe, per spokesperson. Toyota Center undamaged, with security, operations staff on site in shifts.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Hype.

 

[Cornbread78]

If Bogut is reasonably healthy? Him easily.

Is he playing basketball again yet?

 

[Jarate]

Yeah Lonzo gonna become the GOAT

Lonzo gonna feel right at home then playing with that Garbo Lakers lineup

Chris Haynes (former Cavs reporter and now at ESPN) was on local TV here and said it would not shock him if this wasn't the Cavs plan all along to try to get more from Boston by making this public after agreeing to a deal
