2018 Trade Rumours Thread (Deadline February 8th, 3pm ET)

[rocwell]

Wait, Wade was in the trade?

no, that's a different trade. Wade for protected 2nd rounder.

[Shaolin Fantastic]

They got younger. They didn't become a better playoff team.

They absolutely did. Hill and Hood guarding Lowry/DeMar is a huge upgrade over IT and JR doing it.

No, Wade was sent to Miami for a heavily protected 2nd round pick

I'm bummed. It really looked like Lebron was in trouble.

Same. They just fixed so many problems with these moves.

Cavs obviously using different trade machine

The Cavs have the infinite lives cheat code entered. It still won't be enough to win another chip though it is impressive.

So what's Cleveland's starting lineup looking like now (when Love comes back)? Hill-Hood-LeBron-Nance-Love?

[The Great One]

Koby Altman has that Mamba Mentality. Should change his name to Kobe.

[planetmars]

The good news is they still didn't get rim protection help. So they have to rely on Love/Thompson in the paint. But their perimeter defense got a whole lot better.

[Apollo]

They need to hold a meet and greet before the next game. Name tags will be provided to make things easier. lol

[Ebonhawke]

I'm bummed. It really looked like Lebron was in trouble.

He was - I will give credit to Cavs management however - instead of sitting pat, or just minor tweaking, they realized that the team wasn't going to function effectively and overhauled the roster - now we'll see if this group of players will be able to integrate and find a system that works

The window has yet to close. Anything is possible with these guys. They were after Jordan.
