Seriously.
Stupid-Ass phucking Trade, unless Thomas's lost a Leg, and maybe even then.
There is such a thing as Chemistry, and the C's've gutted theirs.
Trading Bradley for Nothing ~ yeah, I know there're Cap Considerations, but this could've been done in a far better way ~ was stupid enough.
This Trade was disgustingly stupid.
No need to be Premature E's...Hold the Pix, develop the best Top Talent Top 8 Depth in the History of the Game as CleveLand and G State Fade...and then Rock.
Incredibly stupid Trade. I pray that it implodes.
*Edit: The Cavs have to trade Erving. Who has the Leverage??? We do.
Erving's Trade Value is depressed. Hello??? James is Vapor. Phuck those guys. They have to move Erving. Don't give'm a Core Piece of our Future, Ainge, you Hole.
Offer'm Thomas straight up, Doubtful Health and all.
And'f they don't like it?? Wait'm out.
They'll come around.
Chemistry is the most overrated cliche people use about sports.
You know what breeds chemistry? WINNING.
For all that wonderful heart warming chemistry, the team last year was a non factor. Big deal, they got to the ECF, they also got their heads smashed in. They were painfully below the level of Cleveland/GSW/SA
Bradley trade was a good one, cap space was needed for Hayward. Also Bradley is getting a max deal after this year. You want to pay him 25+ mill?
IT4 for Kyrie is a good swap. I love Thomas but he is undersized and his game is based on quickness. Not a good recipe for a 29yr old with hip issues. Yes the Brooklyn pick was a premium to pay, but its worth it to move your window back 3 years and get the better player back.
and FYI, Thomas's trade value was damaged just as much as Irving's. Everyone knows his hip is in bad shape and everyone knows he's going to look for a max deal as an undersized 30 yr old with said bad hip
I'd been far too intensely busy to address your Garbage until now, but it's been
on my list, so to speak, and I've got a few minutes.
01 ~ First off:
this sewage: "You know what breeds chemistry? WINNING."
Wrong, genius. Chemistry breeds Winning, not the other way around. Or haven't you
heard'f the New EngLand Patriots??
02 ~ The Bradley trade
was stupid if ~ and Ainge
is entitled to an "if" ~ they couldn't move any other Player for nothing ~ which is what we got back, in case you haven't figured that out, genius ~ in the same Salary Range. And nobody is suggesting we should've kept'm beyond next Year and maxed'm. That notion came
entirely from your own fevered imagination.
03 ~ "IT4 for Kyrie is a good swap. I love Thomas but he is undersized and his game is based on quickness. Not a good recipe for a 29yr old with hip issues. Yes the Brooklyn pick was a premium to pay, but its worth it to move your window back 3 years and get the better player back."
A
Premium??? It wasn't a
Premium, genius. It was a 2 for 1 ~ and
then some!! Trading the Brooklyn Pick was trading someone who'll probably play at a very high level, might be flat out
great, and very possibly could prove to be a Franchise Player...
and on a Rookie Contract!! Hello?? Turns out: There's a Salary Cap, and that was a potential
CornerStone.
It Is What It Is. Trading for Irving? Great Move.
Giving up the New Jersey Pick? Stupid.
Ainge is excellent, but no way in
Hell that CleveLand doesn't do that Deal for the Pick we got from Philly...or even a hell'f a lot
less.
