Cavs/Knicks/OKC in 3 Way Trade Talks (JR+SHUMP TRADED TO CLE)

[mpharris36]

maybe we dumped OKC from the trade.

maybe we are trying to find a 3 team for waiters for a pick

BROUSSARD JUST SAID REGGIE TO THE KNICKS! WE'RE BACK IN THE GAME

U believe him over Woj??? FOH

Kind of simple to evaluate the trade... would you rather:

- Have JR making $6.5MM next year and an extra late 1st round to mid 2nd round pick that we traded for Shump (I suspect his value is closer to mid 2nd round that late first).

or

- Not pay JR Smith next year.

I will take the 2nd option easy.

I'm a SG with 39 FG% shooting for my career. Who am I? Iman Shumpert, that's who.

So just to recap

Shump and JR to Cavs
Waiters to OKC
and nothing to NY

am i right?? Lol

Man.. some of you are going to be on here all night until tomorrow morning aren't you..

Cant say im in love with the deal right now. Since this is clearly done to create cap space, its only fair to judge this trade until the off-season.

Jr is crap, im glad hes gone, but i do like Iman and believe he is a good role player on the right team. He is a RFA, so I understand why we traded him.

How the f*ck did OKC pull this off?

[K_ick_God]

Ultimately Shump's lack of progress was the Knicks' fault as much as his own -- I think with Bron by his side we'll see Shump really do well. I predict he'll be a good player for them, a very good role player at least. But his value had shrunken.

As far as realpolitik, the deal is good. $6M more of cap room and also no Shump cap hold to worry about.

or option 3 - ask for a 2016 pick and if you need cap space you can use it to move JR. If you don't, now you have an extra trade chip either to package with JR's expiring on in the following draft. It's creating options and remaining flexible.

no way OKC gets waiters and just gives up Lance Thomas...doesn't work cap wise

a pick or something else would be needed.

Don't post Broussard tweets. He's worse than Tommy Dee.
