Cavaliers trading Isaiah Thomas for Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance.

[fightgood]

So they trade Thomas to the Lakers cause he doesn't work well with LeBron. But LeBron is going to the Lakers next year too? Mmmkay...doesnt make sense.

Larry nance can play? Really? Larry Nance can jump and dunk. What else can he do consistently? Defense is so so and so is his jump shot. You can't run any plays for him. Clarkson can at least score and get buckets.

They had to get rid of Isiah I guess because everything is "right now" with Lebron. And Isiah was terrible in Cleveland.

Yes, Larry Nance can play. He’s also a starting caliber PF that will make less than 6 million over the next 2 years.

What does “right now” have to do with trading Isaiah? He’s a bad fit whether they’re playing to win now or in 5 years. Hill and Hood are a much better fit next to Lebron. He’s also about to be an unrestricted FA. If you’re the Cavs, do you want to pay him? I don’t.

What a dud Thomas turned out to be

 

[Mr_Mark]

all about cap space $$$$

That was my first thought, but was Clarkson and Nance eating up alot of cap space? I know IT is and Fry are.

Frye and Thomas are FA's to be. Nance/Clarkson will make like 18m combined next season.

So basically the Cavs traded Kyrie Irving for Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr.?

And Hood (via Crowder) and they have the Nets 2018 draft pick.
