Can't imagine anything happening between now and August to change that but we have to get through the draft. Boston got unquestionably better, Cavs got unquestionably worse. Cavs kept IT/Crowder for 4 months. Boston will have Kyrie for 2 years minimum and the chance to bring back something other than scrubs if they want to trade him. What's the debate?

The debate is which franchise won the trade. So far, the Cavs made the nba finals since the trade and the Celts haven’t. I’m up!

Honestly how do u want to judge the trade? If it’s before August...I won..Cavs made it further than the Celts ...if you want to drag it on longer..the debate will continue for years...

Yep, congrats to CLE for making their first NBA Finals since...2017.

...the contributions of Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder and Ante Zizic this postseason has definitely made all the difference.

Cavs likely don't even make the Finals if IT isn't on that squad this playoffs.

Well we could put it to a vote i guess but i'm not sure anyone is interested. But honestly the simple thing is would each team do it again. You have to admit that's a hard HELL NO from the Cavs side. I never claimed that Boston would beat the Cavs this year. In fact, I said they wouldn't. But you have to admit that if you polled the nba 90%+ would say Boston won that trade. Do you not agree with that?

I think the Cavs had to do it. Kyrie was being a prostitute at the very last second and forcing their hand. To get a lotto pick and still make the finals despite IT, nice rebound Cavs.

Can we just call it a draw so you both feel like you lost ... I mean won?

Pick each other's avatar, keep it until the season starts?

Seems fair.

Agreed. Cavs made lemonade out of a lemon of a trade. They certainly had to trade him. They made a bad trade though. So KG is on my side obviously.

I think the real theme is 'we know what @spud did last night'.

You'll never lose Bird. She'll probably push you down on the playground though.

When she reads this, she's gonna do more than push him down on the playground.

I'll stop the beating after a while. Let's face it, you deserve a whuppin.
