Dion Waiters traded to OKC- JR Smith & Shumpert to CLE

[Malta]

Why would the Cavs want JR.....?

They wanted Shumpert, JR Smith is essentially like they kept Waiters.

 

[Regular_P]

While this was a money move, they also damn sure weren't gonna keep Reggie long term.

Why are we gonna turn Reggie Jackson into the piece that kept OKC from a title?

EDIT: Never mind apparently.

They should be trying to add to the team, not subtracting.

Now that he's not included, Waiters and Jackson are gonna be oil and water off the bench together.

Bulls would have given the Knicks our 2015 1st for Shump probably

Phil is an idiot if he didnt get a pick back here

LeBron planting the seeds to jump ship

Jackson, Waiters and Westbrook?

I hereby call them "The Harrison Triplets"

the amount of bricked shots

reeeeeeeal quick

shyt is great for us imo. jr wasnt gonna decline that 6 milly he gets next season so now theirs more room for signings.

Cleveland.

I'd like to say OKC as well, as Waiters can create his own shot and create for others and will be more often than not matched up with the worst perimeter defender on court. Problem is he has rockbrain tendencies (as we all know) and I don't think Brooks will utilize him properly.

I'm skeptical of Reggie & Waiters together tbh

I think lebron just wants jr smith to fill the role of chalmers. He needs someone to yell at, when the cavs start playing like shyt

 

[HacksawJimThuggin]

Good deal for the Knicks to get Reggie Jackson, if it's true.

LMAO at the Bron/JR and Westbrook/Waiters dynamic though. shyt is gonna be hilarious.

Cavs did this because they were desperate for athleticism and perimeter D. Gotta think they would have been better off just keeping Wiggins, considering how well he's been playing as of late.

If the reports are true, he got a 2nd

 

[Youhadasparkwhenustarted]

I figured we'd have to package Shump or Hardaway to get rid of JR, so I'm not too surprised or disappointed, but I wanted the Knicks to get over on somebody in a trade for once

No Reggie

Still got some extra capspace to go after him in free agency though

 

[I.V.]

Celebrate with me, brothers.

This is only a good trade for the Cavs if they sign Oakfor or something. Otherwise it's at most a lateral trade.
