    How about Danny Ainge for Neil Olshey straight up? Yes? No?

    Harkless and Vonleh for Lee and McDermott would work.

    I know Neil signed guys like Turner and Meyers to the bad contracts. But it's funny that you think it should be easy for him to trade those now. You really think people are calling us for them?

    The next hour and 15 minutes decides Neils future.

    Cavs got much better today in my opinion. But that tax hit is insane. Huge gamble by the owner.

    No it doesn't. We are happy with the team, I think Dame was pissed off when we let Plumlee go so we won't just make trades for the sake of it.

    Probably forgot they moved the deadline up this year. Now scrambling to find a lottery bust cast-off he can acquire for peanuts.

    They could keep McDermott.

    It was smart. If he did nothing LeBron would have 100% walked in the summer. Now I bet they have a 50% chance of at least getting him to sign another short-term deal.

    Hood and Clarkson don't help their defense at all.. I don't see what others are seeing.

    Sorry Sly. I phrased that poorly.

    NO is like the little lap dog trying to find a bush to pee on that hasn’t already been sprayed by the big dogs.

    We all know you’re a big dog, Sly.

    Hehheh.

    No. But Aminu, Harkless, Vonleh, and even Davis (as unpopular as it would be) should at least be available for a reshuffling of the deck.
    So far the market has proven out my valuation of these players as being less than the Hoods/Crowders of the league. But they shouldn't be too far below that value threshold.
