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

[Supercoolmayo]

Dion done took Lebron's number

 

[KnickstapeCity]

Knickstape is officially dead
You'll be missed Shump
Now ball out in Cleveland, my nikka

 

[duckbutta]

you realize you comparing 10s of millions over the cap+ repeater tax to 2 million? and harden a extra year doesn't stop injuries from happening

One extra year of Harden would not have put them in the repeater tax or put them 10 of millions over the cap...he was still on his rookie deal...he was only set to make around 7 million that last year...remember he got traded to Houston AND THEN signed his current contract extension...in hindsight depending on what they do with the contracts of some other players in 2012 they could have kept Harden AND not paid the tax for that year...

Now after that year, yeah keeping him would eventually put them in the repeater tax...but for just one more year right after you gone to the finals...nah just unbelievably stupid to not keep him...

Harden an extra year allows you to bring back the exact same team that win to the finals...not sure why you wouldn't want to do that...

Also worrying about the salary cap when your team not only generates positive revenue year after year but is also worth quite a bit more than you paid for it originally is hilariously cheap and bordering on being a bad owner...

Lol. Its the most successful strategy for all the teams he has played on. The Cavs were struggling until he took it upon himself to bring the ball up.
They don't need Kyrie though and he needs to be offered in a trade for a real centre and another PG that can defend.
The Cavs are up there for the worst FO in history. All their lottery picks should be gone when its all said anddone. Otherwise, they'll just relive Lebron's first 7 years in Cleveland. Trading Wiggins and Bennett for Love was a big error in judgement.

Just as the first go round, these moves are all bron and his people. At some point you gotta put blame on him. That excuse of the FO might have slide the first time, not now.

We are on argeement with kyrie, although I believe a competent point guard not named kyrie or bron should be good enough. Dont need to necessarily trade kIrie.

Going back to bron winning chips, neither champIonship squad did he bring the ball up the majority of the time

maybe you have reading comprehension skills or did you ignore the" and harden a extra year doesn't stop injuries from happening"

 

[Konnan]

i thought Shumpert was out awhile with a dislocated shoulder or some shyt

 

[Konnan]

The Knicks are in bad shape brehs

 

[jaguar paw]

Which OKC Tinder fan becomes the new Eye Cue?

 

[Illeye buckmatic]

But doesn't he always shyt on Manziel?

But doesn't he always shyt on Manzie

Yeah I meant to say Hoyer

 

[BStapies]

i thought Shumpert was out awhile with a dislocated shoulder or some shyt

Hes back next week

 

[SAJ!!]

The Knicks are pretty much saying "fukk It, we ain't winning shyt this season. Might as well wait until this summer when everybody is off the books."

Can't say I blame 'em.

How?

Bennett sucks and Wiggins has one good game every 6 games.

 

[Lord Beasley]

How the fukk did the Cavs net so much??????

 

[duckbutta]

maybe you have reading comprehension skills or did you ignore the" and harden a extra year doesn't stop injuries from happening"

I ignored it because it is irrelevant...but having Harden probably does decrease the chances for Durant and Westbrook to get hurt on account of not having to have one of those dudes on the floor for the entire 48 minutes...

You think a Harden and KD duo get by Memphis that year when westbrook goes down...instead of KD getting manhandled and OKC loosing...I do...and if not it sure as shyt goes longer than 5 games

Matter fact...without Harden in Houston they don't play them in the 1st round so that Westbrook gets hurt in the first place...cause Houston sure as hell doesn't make the playoffs that year without Harden

Even more hilarious...the guy that they choose over Harden get's hurt the next year leaving them absolutely no chance against San Antonio

 

[NoMorePie]

So the knicks got no one of any relevance.

Seems fair.
