Yeah it's not a good situation for either team because both teams are going to have disgruntled PGs.
However, at least the Celtics would get to keep a likely top 5 pick. I'm very skeptical the Cavs could get something better than that from another team. |

Yep they won't. They should do the deal UNLESS they think IT will never be healthy again. I don't think there is any indication that is the case though.

Personally I was giddy with this trade, as I thought it was rather one sided. Cleveland would get a solid PG to replace Irving, a great defensive 2/3, a young center and a lottery pick. Seemed too good to be true. I have no idea what Ainge told the Cavs about the Injury Thomas sustained. The Cavs are not looking to rebuild right now, they still think there is a small chance that if they keep enough talent around James, he will stick around and finish his career in Cleveland. If IT is out for the year(and it is looking like he is), not only will he be gone by years end, but you will likely also lose James. So you are left with Kevin Love and a lottery pick. Now this trade doesn't look so great. If Thomas were healthy, you could have even used that lottery pick to trade for another elite talent at the deadline, of course, you would only do that if James made a firm commitment. I think the Celtics add players of picks to the deal to make it happen as I think it looks much worse for the Celtics.

Apparently the Cavs want Tatum or Brown in the deal.

http://deadspin.com/kevin-durant-tra...ter-1818504820 Looks like Durant forgot to log out of his fake account before defending his own honor online with weak excuses. |

Oh and he also has his own fake Instagram account to argue with his critics too. As if there was ever any doubt. |
