I love the overreactions from basically everyone on all sides of the NBA spectrum. Do I love the fact that the BKN 1st is involved? ew, no. That's honestly like an Anthony Davis package almost, but in the NBA you just don't see 25 year olds traded who are this good and on a multi year contract...like it simply doesn't happen. You gotta overpay. For Boston this is obviously a "timeline" trade, Kyrie definitely fits the Jaylen/Tatum timeline and IT4 didn't....also who wants to pay a 30 year old midget 170m until he's almost 35? That's a Nets move For Cleveland this is incredible. You protect yourself from Lebron Leleaving Volume 2 and even if he wants to stay, you set up a summer 2014 Wiggins/Love trade scenario all over again to make Cleveland the team to beat in the East until Lebron basically dies of old age.... Good luck with everything Chicago...I hear the Blackhawks are dank? I agree with just about everything you said here. It was a move both teams needed. Boston gets way more clarity out of the deal and Cleveland gets a haul back for the guy who backed us in a corner requesting a trade. I still love Kyrie. His fathead of him banging The Shot on currys bitch ass will be on my wall forever. |

Who's still playing? And still helping his team? Spurs were >3 pp/100 better with ginobili on the floor last year... Anyone think Kobe could do that, on any team, much less one as already efficient as the Spurs? Flashy, ridiculously talented egomaniac who requires retarded usage rates and 10+ missed FGA per game in order to be relevant, or pass-first scrubber who consistently does all the little things and just flat out makes shit happen, every fucking night, for fifteen years? I'll take Manu, all day, every day. Fuck Kobe, worst teammate ever, and worst effect on team chemistry in the history of the league. Overrated because he scores pretty, that's it. Sent from my Pixel using proboards i mean...in all fairness there have been 3 SG's who were the best player on a title team....MJ, D-Wade and Kobe. You gotta at least respect that...it's very unusual in NBA history to have your best player be a 2-guard and win a championship |

His fathead of him banging The Shot on currys bitch ass will be on my wall forever. I think the same about Isaiah...it sounds corny as fuck but he'll always be a true Celtic. He gave his heart and soul to the Celtics, not to mention his hip. He put himself through hell for this team, Boston got the biggest talent; but Cleveland acquired the biggest heart in basketball. This will bring our fanbases closer together, I feel as though we're rooting for eachother to get to the ECF because that would be SO LIT...and both teams legit feel like they can kick the shit out of the other now. I mean obviously you'd have to still pick Cleveland as the better team, but Boston definitely believes they're the top dog now that we added Kyrie, Hayward, Tatum and only really lost IT and AB...No dis to Jae but honestly Boston just didn't need him anymore. I think Jae will fit in surprisingly well with Cleveland though, and if you guys are smart you'll start him at the "2" instead of Shumpert. IT-Jae-Bron-Love-Thompson is actually pretty goddamn scary |

You gotta at least respect that...it's very unusual in NBA history to have your best player be a 2-guard and win a championship Lakers never did win without Shaq or Pau, if you're not taking Kobe's greatness for granted it's at least debatable whether he WAS the best player on any of those teams... This article's pretty old, and rather poorly written in terms of grammar and composition, but it's still valid and a fun read (especially for Kobe haters like me): bleacherreport.com/articles/199523-kobe-bryants-legacy-should-not-be-defined-based-upon-this-past-titleSent from my Pixel using proboards |

"Flashy, ridiculously talented egomaniac who requires retarded usage rates and 10+ missed FGA per game in order to be relevant"
People said the same shit about Mike. U know what tho, RINGS NIGGA.
IMO MJ's the greatest to do it and Kobe's his mini clone. Obviously Kobe ain't 2 but competitive wise and do anything to win? Yeah gimme him.
One game for my life and I'm taking Kobe because he'll out work and kill to win, your statistical analysis can't tell you that.

As one source involved in the process involving Thomas' medical clearance told ESPN late Friday night, "It's a very sensitive situation."

No way the deal gets voided completely. The cavs can afford to sit Thomas to start the season plus the main piece is BKN's pick. They'll probably just get some extra picks from Boston lmao more assets.
