Hope Caris will be fine.

Definitely a concern. I pray Caris it is nothing serious and he can continue his career.

Lavert was the best player we traded, All-Star potential (hoping that spot on his Kidney is nothing serious, but I'm sure he's scared, all of us would be), but the hardest player for the Nets to replace this year will be Jarrett Allen. If you told me that last year I would have laughed, but he must have worked really hard in the off-season because he improved his game from A to Z. Became a much better rebounder, a much better offensive player under the rim (put-backs etc.) and even a better defender and shot blocker. With Claxton hurt, Jordan on the downside, and Perry a STEAL in the draft but more of a PF, Allen is hard to replace right now unless we want to move Durant to Center and install Perry as the starting PF, and I really don't want to increase Durant's defensive workload that much, his offense is to important. Hopefully Perry and Jordan can hold down the 5 for another four to six weeks and Claxton can live up to expectations when he returns.

I will be rooting for all four players to succeed.

Happy to see Rodi get some decent playing time last night.

The man tried, but he wasn’t nearly as good as he thought he was. And he didn’t really find a solid role here.

I wish him well though, he’s a good dude with a good attitude, just needs to learn what his limitations are and not try to do too much.

Addition by subtraction.

He shot fairly well and played good defense.

We gave a late first round pick for Prince AND Claxton.

I would say we did alright.

His extension may have been generous but there is no way we get Harden and keep Dinwiddie without it.

What a huge piece of ****. TP didn’t deserve to be welcomed to Cleveland like that.

There's no reason to badmouth Prince, the guy played hard and knocked down huge shots during his time here. He was 100% a professional and I wish him the best.

The Indiana Pacers discovered a mass on the kidney of Caris LeVert when they performed a physical on him following a four-team trade. LeVert is likely to undergo surgery to remove the mass.

The Pacers will know more on LeVert's prognosis, but he's unlikely to even practice for the next six to eight weeks.

LeVert signed a three-year, $52.5 million extension with the Brooklyn Nets during the 2019 offseason.

I hope he will be okay. **** man. :nonono:

The news that Allen could have been kept if we were able to trade Shamet for a 1st rounder is maddening.

Can you imagine us with Allen on the squad right now???

I think teams assumed we needed to turn shamet into a first to get harden and were blackballing us.

LOL if Shamet just played like he did last year we could have gotten a first for him. His own horrible play saved him.

If we really kept Allen it would have been OVER.

You could make the same argument for us keeping Saddiq Bey or Desmond Bane at this point as well. Both would’ve been a really great fit for their athleticism and two way potential.

Honestly, it's not like the Cavs are that bad (they are 6-7). I hope they'll do well.
