Weird trade, I think the Cavs win because they got draft picks. The only guy I sort of like in the deal is Shump, but he's look awful this year. The other two are selfish players.
Like it for the Knicks, hate it for the Cav's and I don't get why the Thunder would want Waiters.
For the Knicks they clear a bunch of cap space (they'll have 30 mill this summer now) and they got rid of a serious cancer (Smith). As for the Cav's this feels like the sort of deal the original Lebron Cav's would make, sacrifice a lot of cap flexibility for a minimal talent upgrade. And like I said before don't get why the Thunder are interested in Waiters, he seems like a terrible fit there.
I hear you, New York is going to be going in this off season! I wonder if the keep Calderon as a play to go after Gasol? I wish he would choose the Spurs... I think he's staying in Memphis no matter what.
