To me those 5 seem decent but of course none are close to JB & KAT in scoring power or Hart & Mikal in 2 way capabilities (or Hart's x-factor triple double energy).

But they don't seem to have the feel of a lottery team anymore. Maybe like the previous Bulls with DeRozan and Lavine and JV. where you see talent but not winning or cohesion.



There's only 1 basketball, that team is going to be a mess for a long time. It's a team built to play in 2007, not today.

They're the portrait of a 32-win team with chemistry issues from 2003

Hawks couldn't afford to keep him without hitting the tax. Getting 3 seconds and 2 future pick swaps for him is a good haul for them.

Cavs will be a 2nd apron team next season. This is it for them.

Since they seem to have the Cavs number they don't care.

Wish the Knicks could have traded for Hunter. This trade definitely makes the Cavs a lot tougher.

I feel like Atlanta just did that to flip us the middle finger.

F*cking hell. This is gonna be tough.

The Cavs have gotten a lot better, good thing we didn't trade our broken down backup center for someone that can help us.

One of the most lopsided trade deadlines I can remember. So many lopsided, uncrompehendable gifts left and right.

Still the FO did the right thing. None of the proposed Mitch trades made us any better. Let's see how this season pans out.


p.s.: I really like Mikal and truly hope he succeeds here but one can't help but think that this deadline made the price of 5 FRPs look even steeper than it was in the offseason. So much talent being traded for so little draft compensation....

If OKC gets healthy into the postseason the Lakers won't stand a chance.

If that happens, I think we just turn the light out on the NBA for a decade.
