how cavs get a replacement for isiah thomas

[baller2038]

damn so look like IT hip busted.. maybe we do what it do to get bledsoe.. what u think itll take to get em fam

[Tiesto_Lakers]

Thomas isn't going back to Boston. This is similar to the Chris Paul trade in 2011 that got vetoed, but for different reasons. Gasol and Odom had to go back to LA, and it was a disaster. Odom wouldn't step foot back in LA because of how management treated him (from his perspective). Gasol stayed but his heart didn't.

Boston should and will give more to Cleveland to finish the trade.

ya but we still need a pg.. maybe flip the new assets we finesse from boston sorry ass

[yesh]

If I'm Boston, I say the deal is the deal. You can break it or we can sign on the dotted line, but no more assets are heading your way. If you'd rather Bledsoe and Bender and a FRP knock yourselves out. At a push I'd maybe give up a 2nd rounder, but Cavs must also know that the Celts deal is the best one they'll be offered.

IT will be playing to get paid so there is no concern he's all emo and not trying.

Boston needs to add in more, bottom line they need to pay a much steeper price to get Kyrie... Shame on them trying to pass on damaged goods. NBA should step in and fine and take away draft picks from the Celtics!

Come on Cleveland, Danny not going to get the wool pulled over his eyes....nice try though!

What are you talking about?

It isn't a surprise to anyone on the planet that IT had an injured hip. The league shouldn't step in, invent rules, and fine a team. You know what they should do? They should enforce a rule that says both teams can give a physical to their incoming guys, and back out of the trade if they don't like what they see. Which is exactly what happened.

You have a PG, his name is Lebron James.

Sure, but there is a concern that he won't be playing for a while and not at 100% this upcoming season.

The Celtics can play a tough stance but it's in their best interest to get Irving.

Do you really think Boston would be comfortable starting off the season with a PG rotation of Smart and Rozier?

[Darth Celtic]

You mean like the former MVP pg you signed to a min contract already?

[RightToCensor]

void the trade to Boston and take whatever Phoenix is offering

Yes. If it comes down to IT being done for a month or two, Smart and Rozier are more than capable to hold down the fort. I mean, didn't Boston beat Cleveland without IT (the one game they did win). Have to admit though, losing Bradley will hurt more than they think.

That BK. Pick us worth more than anything Phoenix is offering (unless they want to add Booker into the deal).

I think what Phoenix can offer compared to Boston is closer than what you'd think if Isaiah is damaged goods and ends up being a non-factor.

Eric Bledsoe, Phoenix's 2018 1st, and a non-Josh Jackson prospect > Jae Crowder and Brooklyn's 2018 1st

I'll bet on Kyrie not being able to take that young supporting cast anywhere while being coached by Earl Watson in the Western Conference.

The deal should only be allow to be void if one party is hiding information from the other party. Cavs know Thomas had an injury. This is not new information.

What Cavs is doing is nothing short of a buyer remorse. NBA should fine Cavs for voiding the deals

I disagree that Smart and Rozier are capable of holding down the fort for a month or two, especially when you would be gambling on that month or two not being 3, 4, or 5+.

They did nothing wrong. You act like teams release medical records or something. The cavs didn't know the extent of the injury. They knew IT was injured, but not how bad. These players, whether we like the term or not, are investments. Millions of dollars are poured into them, and depending on how they perform determines so much for a franchise. Everything they did is justified.

Why bother posting things like this? First, no one knew what the extent or current state of IT's injury is--as far as the Cavs or anyone outside of IT's circle knew, he could've been ready to go next week or the injury could be career threatening. Second, everyone unanimously said the trade was awesome for the Cavs and about the best possible outcome--yet you're sure that they're having cold feet and actually want a malcontent Kyrie back. There's a difference between doubting your purchase a little and pulling the plug entirely on a great deal; this isn't buyer's remorse like you not being sure those kicks are as cool as you thought at the store.
