    I'm not usually a change just for the sake of change type of guy, but ET doesn't fit this team at all (as we all know). Trading him forces someone else into that role. It also opens up a roster spot if we include Swanigan. Mozgov is a little cheaper so we save about $3 million this year and next year.

    Yes, please!

    I've been advocating for similar deals since the summer.

    Is Tristan Thompson like a really expensive Ed Davis?

    Pretty much. The major difference is that Thompson is/was one of the better defenders as a big when getting switched to a guard in pick and roll situations.

    That trade idea is mostly a salary based move though.

    Because he's a blazer killer. He has good games against us.

    Then, when you dig into his numbers...

    Last year Thompson played 30 mpg on a 51 win team while Ed played 17 mpg on a 41 win team.

    Why does CLE do this? They can just cut JR next year. His contract is only partially guaranteed next season for < $4mil

    Yeah, obviously. Mozgov sucks, I just want to see lineups without Turner in them.

    You mean 2 years ago when Ed was hurt?

    Last year Cleveland won 50 games and Tristan played 20 minutes a game and averaged 5.8 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.

    Portland won 49 and Ed played 19 minutes a game and averaged 5.3 points and 7.4 rebounds per game.

    That looks like a wash to me (for just last season).

    My bad - you're right, I was a year off.

    THIS year Ed's back to 17 mpg and Thompson's back to 30, but Ed's on the better team.

    True. They can wait a while and trade us John Henson instead and I wouldn't mind.

    So on top of adding to the luxury tax, we’re also acquiring a guy that plays just like the guy we got rid of, a guy everyone loved, and another guard that will take playing time away from Simons/Trent.

    Awesome.

    Turner isn’t the issue. Yes he’s overpaid, but it also feels like hes just become the scapegoat for a much larger problem. Getting rid of him for JR Smith also isn’t going to make Portland better, nor will it open up money or playing time for anybody else. You think you hate Turner? Give the JR Smith experience a week.
