    Sacramento takes IT because he's an expiring and they get out of Hill's huge deal. Cleveland trades IT because he's damaged goods, shooting 36%, and is having the worst defensive rated season in the 25 years they've been keeping that stat. Sacramento would say yes immediately.

    Cleveland gets Aminu and Davis to help out and they get out of one of their shitty contracts. They've blamed Love for everything and now that he's hurt he isn't helping much this year which I'm hoping that they decide to say fuck it and go for it. I said it would be dumb but they have LeBron calling them out and refusing to be traded so you never know.

    That explains why you think it’s a good idea for Blazers to give up their 1st rd pick this year for Wes Matthews... a 32 year old 6’4” small forward, who has torn his achilles, is shooting 40% fg this year, and is making 19 mil per

    MM has his thing about WABC’s. I’m never high on centers with 4 syllable last names.

    Okay, fine. There are exceptions to my rule. But I figure if you’re going to waste that much uniform real estate on a name, you may as well stack two players up. Dame on Ed’s shoulders: Lillard-Davis.

    I'm probably wrong and the Knicks are just really fucking stupid but it makes me think there is something wrong with Hernangomez. Maybe he is super lazy or something. It just doesn't make sense.

    Even if that's the case though, unless that "something wrong" is common knowledge across the league, you'd have to think they'd be able to find a better return than that.

    I agree--doesn't make sense to me either.
