Why does Cleveland do it? I think the Cavs are trying to make the playoffs, not dump salaries.

Let’s not lie to chase a narrative it wasn’t a easy shot KD was right there to contest. If JR is blocked or misses the shot he’s killed for having so much time left for a better look.

Not lying, haven't seen the replay until now. You're right, there were defenders around him, but he was dribbling out the clock. Any shot, whether it's contested or not, is better than no shot, or even a pass would've been better. Doesn't change his BBIQ. I doubt he would've been killed for taking and missing a shot, he does that all the time. He got killed for doing what he did.

And that's what Houston was trying to do. Trade Anderson for JR.
Everyone mocking the Rockets in this thread, seem to be completely missing that point. This is an easy good idea, based on the contracts.

What if perhaps, the goal was to move Anderson's contract for JR's that only a small portion of it is guarantee next year?
