Cleveland has got to angling for something like I.T., Crowder and the best pick Boston gets for next year, Nets, kings or lakers
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Isaiah Crowder and the Lakers pick for Kyrie works for both teams.

Maybe Cavs get greedy and try to take Brown/Tatum

Not a small risk on IT's hip for the Cavs imo.

Ainge was waiting for the time to strike. While not trading Jason Tatum for Pg/Butler is dumb, getting rid of Thomas isn't. Kyrie is 25 and fits with what they're trying to do.

Woj's twitter is the reason why I never get things done. I've been hawking his account for tweets the past half hour.

I'm not sure the Cavs want to either. They might plan to let him walk if LeBron leaves. Trade is one year of IT, Crowder and most likely a top5 or higher pick next year. IT is going to get freezed out of free agency unless LeBron stays in Cleveland.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

I totally forgot about Thomas' hip injury. Those things can be worse than a knee injury.

IT and LBJ would make a deadly combo.
