So the deal is bad for Cleveland because BBD sucks and has a bad contract and is bad for Orlando because BBD is productive and has a fair contract. Why do I put myself through this torture?
I still think productive veterans make more sense in Cleveland because they already have talented young players in place but obviously this particular deal is terrible(in Charles Barkley voice)

Productive vets in Cleveland does make more sense. They are much further down the path for rebuilding than Orlando is. that said, productive vets do have value and Orlando doesnt want to lose them for nothing.

Problem is that non Cavs fans want to speed up the rebuild in hopes that they can say that the Cavs never put enough young talent with Irving. You all complained about Mo Williams being the second option and want the Cavs to rush forward and become the Atlanta Hawks. Stop complaining that we don't like your deals and either get informed about the Cavs or stick to other teams.

No. For Glen and/or Afflalo to be dealt, actual talent has to come back.
Magic will only take back cap space and picks for guys like Redick, McRoberts, Harrington, and Hedo.

Not enough asset incentive to move Afflalo for Orlando, too much awful salary on mediocrity and crap for Cleveland, that Big Baby contract is grotesque and he's just not a good player and Afflalo isn't good enough to justify paying both his salary and Davis'.
grotesque is Kendrick Perkins. BBD actually produces. 15/8 at $6.5 in todays NBA for many of these "big men" isnt not a bad return.
My dude, he's doing it on 43% shooting, 44TS%, 43eFG%, a 92ORtg, 0.044WS/48 with negative offensive win shares with an over 27% usage rate.
Puke.
