Boston has too many assets(no fault of theirs) and that lowers the value of each one...
Everyone who negotiates with boston is going to be like "look at what you have left"
If a billionare wants to buy your $100 shoes, u sell them for $200, if he was an average joe you charge $100... its because you know $200 is possible, not because its the value, i mount tvs for $60, but if your tv is a 60inch ULTRA HD, im getting $100....im counting assets while im pulling into the drive way.... Cleveland gm MASK OFF
Bruh, if I get a porcupine from a caterpillar, I'ma charge it to the gorilla toes and skip the elephant peanut butter. -

He drafted 3 mvps (harden will be one soon) that has to be accounted for. but gave up one, lost one and might lose the other. but you cant defend choosing surge over harden. -

I disagree with the serge over harden you can argue that at the time and they both continued to get better imo -
Easy to judge okc trading harden in hindsight.Okc made 2 wcf's after trading harden,and the only years they didn't make it durant & russ were injured.A big reason they lost in '14 was cuz ibaka got injured.
Ibakas scoring,rebounding and fg% went up after the harden trade,nothin wrong with keeping ibaka.You thought harden was gonna come off the bench forever? Harden hasn't done nothin since okc except put up individual #'s thunder stayed at the top of the west. -
It was a different nba when ibaka was more valuable than harden...them dayz are over...

Ibaka continued to develop ? we couldn't imagine he went from lock down defender to knockdown shooter from anywhere he's only 28 his ability to effect both sides of the floor is underated I'm looking forward to see him settle down in toronto this season -
Cavs would be foolish to void thr trade for any reason.. homecourt means nothing to LeBron so whats the problem, they can chug along in the weak ass East til IT gets healthy..
Also D Rose >>> Dwill. -

Nah he's done he's been declining on the low for about 3 years.He was a negative on defense for the raptors
Ibaka has turned into a good long range shooter tho. -

Besides Joakim Noah he was the best defender at his position, could defend multiple positions, made the all defensive first team 3 years in a row and could space the floor there was a place for him in any era -

He said he lost 20 pounds and is in the best shape of his life. He is gonna remain in Philly or somehow boost his trade value. Philly is prolly stuck with him so they might as well let him get some tick. -

As Hurricane Harvey devastated Houston over the weekend, Washington Wizards players John Wall and Bradley Beal decided to help. The pair reached out to teammates through a group text message, leading the effort to raise money for people affected by the hurricane and historical flooding in Southeast Texas. By Monday, the players’ donations had reached $250,000 with more dollars expected. According to a team source, Markieff Morris and Otto Porter Jr. were two of the first players to respond to the group message and give money, and the players’ impromptu fundraising has spread throughout the Wizards organization. Majority team owner Ted Leonsis, President Ernie Grunfeld and Coach Scott Brooks also have personally donated money to the American Red Cross, and the organization over the Wizards, Capitals and Mystics’ charities — MSE Foundation — has contributed to the players’ amount. – via Washington Post

The Cleveland Cavaliers -- who are reportedly balking at the trade that would send Kyrie Irving to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and the 2018 Brooklyn Nets pick -- received no new information from Isaiah Thomas' physical, according to the Boston Herald's Steve Bulpett.Appearing on The Vertical podcast with Chris Mannix, Bulpett said the Cavaliers weren't surprised by Thomas' medical situation.
"My read is actually from the Cleveland side, and what I hear from there is that nothing they've found is anything different than what was conveyed to the Cavaliers in the trade discussions, and certainly in the medical information that was passed forward," Bulpett told Mannix.
bozos just being greedy cuz they know that ground zero reality is coming.
