    yes, but its a great deal for the cavs

    they get scoring & they can cover mitchell on defense with all their length and mitchell himself is competent defender (when he wants to be)

    cavs will be really, really dangerous team going forward

    He's great for his team. So is Seth.
    LeBron is just as bad for his team as he is good for it.

    Mobley is a stud for sure. The rest are good but not elite IMO

    Ainge and Presti goals are just to collect draft picks.

    Thank God we didn't. Dude is a mad scientist. Yes he engineered the championship that brought key free agents to Boston. Yes, with high draft picks he set up the current title contender in Boston. Difference is, he set up Cleveland & Minnesota to be contenders as well, and those draft picks he got in return will most likely end up in the 20's. With One & Done, those picks rarely turn out to be superstars, and need a ton of development no matter what. He did get some nice role pieces in return, but to truly tank, he will need to continue to off load most of them as well. Sexton, a nice talent, but head case, is the best of that said talent. Beasley, Vanderbilt, and Maarkanen are nice additions going forward. That Jazz team will potentially win 30 games. Too many to have a good chance to win the lottery in any given year. So Ainge has taken a team, that with an added piece that would continue to contend, and maybe win it, to a mediocre, at best, team, and a bunch of end of the 1st round draft capital. So he has 13 picks. It may take all of those, and many years to get the star talent to even get back to the Mitchell/Gobert level. We will see if the Jazz Fans enjoy that ride.

    Top 4 . Young, and as talented as any team in the East. Love is a nice veteran presence who knows what it takes to win it all.

    It will be nice for a change not to have to pencil in two losses on the schedule when the Blazers play in Salt Lake.

    Dame , up until his injury prevented it, has always played well against the Jazz . In Salt Lake, and here at Moda.

    She was credited with the development of the young guys.

    This franchise is either oblivious or doesn’t give a fuck about optics. They are acting like a minor league franchise trying to nickel and dime everything.
