Lakers Jordan Clarkson & Larry Nance to Cavs for Isaiah Thomas, Channing Frye & 2018 1st Round Pick

[Scottie Drippin]

yeah but none of that is new info (aside from the hip injury)....destined for G League

NBA history tells us players of his ilk don't lead teams to championships, and he's too old for a team to throw him the max based on potential. Financially, IT's career is going to be looked back on as a sad case. Has any player ever averaged 28 points in a season and never touched a max contract?

The nets are cratering (19-37) and the lakers are already there (22-31). They saved millions getting rid of Clarkson shyt contract, while still having two cornerstones in Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball.

The lakers are literally in a position where they could either get Bagley or Bamba AND still have another top ten pick.

This was a straight up heist.

this cat don't have a clue what he's talking about

Lakers pick goes to philly or boston( how do you not know this) cavs kept the nets pick.

You thought they traded the nets pick for clarkson & nance jr?

 

[I.AM.PIFF]

Oh shyt, my fault. I thought you guys had your pick.

Nope. All because of that Steve Nash trade ages ago

 

[OfTheCross]

Was it the Brooklyn pick?

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

Damn not nance

My only regret about this trade.

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

IT going through it right now

The way dude was talking— he was too comfortable

 

[Nero Christ]

go from vying for a max contract to possibly being out the league/bench duty in less than 12 months, brehs. IT gotta be feeling terrible

worse part about it is everyone around him had more control of his destiny than he did...Kyrie, Ainge, Gilbert, & Bron

 

[CarltonJunior]

Magic is a TERRIBLE GM

 

[TheLostOnes]

All I'm reading is that we get a 1st round pick

 

[AkaDemiK]

Isaiah about to expose all of the bullshyt that went down in the Cavs locker room now though.

I’m here for it

 

[hayesc0]

I don't give a damn what anybody says Lakers raped the shyt out of Cavs

I wouldn't call it a rape the trade benifits both teams.

 

[Quail Man]

I think this is a win for both teams. Isiah is washed and it seems like there’s been locker room issues.

People laughing about trading kyrie but dude was saying he would have season ending surgery if he wasn’t traded. Cavs got what they could for him.

 

[Optimus Prime]

Lebron is going to be the reason why IT doesn't get a contract from the Lakers also
I need to see those texts between Magic/Polinka and Rich Paul this morning. KCP probably responsible for this deal

 

[SuperPawgHunter]

I really believe they made this trade to get IT out of the lockerroom. LOLOLOL.

What can Clarkson do for the Cavs, who have championship aspirations? Stop playing. He couldn't start ahead of Lonzo.

No need to romanticize what this dude is.

He is better at me at basketball, and that is about the only compliment I can muster.
