    I actually like the move for Cleveland in getting Iman Shumpert. He's a pretty good young defender.
    My only concern is can their coach play with a two guard who can't throw a rock in the ocean.
    Will further allow players to pack the lane vs Lebron/Irving. They need 3 and D players. Not just D or O.

    They have two 3 and D players, Marion and Miller. However the are old and should be looking for an upgrade, If I were the Cavs I'd look to somehow land Afflalo.

    That's not enough though.

    There is no way the Nuggets trade Afflalo.

    Afflalo is 29, they're rebuilding, they have their SGoTF in Gary Harris, I'm sure they'd trade Afflalo for an expiring player and Picks.

    Something like this, keep in mind that Denver would be getting picks. http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=ld83ued

    If dalembert gets waived to do the deal, do the blazers want to swoop?

    Meh, Cleveland would likely get him. Plus when we are healthy our frontcourt is fine.

    Denver just traded for Afflalo. They are playing much better according to the media and especially the blazer announcers. I don't believe they're in full rebuild mode like you are trying to imply.

    Also your previous trade machine is a little iffy. OKC only has to get up perkins to get waiters? While the Knicks are giving up Shumpert/Smith, and one gives up the #4th pick of the draft? seems pretty lopsided towards OKC.

    I wish you could add picks to the machine because New York is gonna get them, they're gonna waiver whomever they get anyway.

    Basically, NY would rather have expirings and picks than waiters. And I don't blame them

    OKC is really the ones making a mistake, pick (mid first) and Perkins (Hate him but he is a quality backup defensive big) for a chucker with an attitude.

    OKC sends out Perk.

    They got a lot better.

    Steven Adams will now play 35 mpg.

    They get a legit scorer in Dion to add to their bench that already has Jackson.

    Knicks getting and waiving Lance Thomas, Amundson, and Alex Kirk. Are we interested in Kirk?

    I'm not sure how far I'd take "legit scorer"...you guys know my love for LMA's jumpers---Waiters overall (FG%, eFG%, TS%) is worse than if LMA was taking only 20' jumpers all day long. 25% from 3 this year, 32% for his career.... dude shoots 55% at the rim and 32% everywhere else.

    When Adams is in foul trouble what do they do? Put in Collison? The playoffs will not be kind to the Thunder, if they make it. Waiters also isn't Harden and him and Jackson together is a poor mans version of Jennings and Ellis together, that's not a compliment.

    Dion Waiters is a talented young scorer who has spent his entire career in the wrong situation. This would make OKC very scary, except Brian is spot on...Westbrook ain't giving that rock up.
