    And got off a lot of dead money in doing so. Hopefully he can stay healthy for the rest of the season.

    Because they are probably still wondering why we didn't bring back Mbah Moute when we had the chance to. The same Mbah Moute that's only play 4 games this year.

    Has to deal both for picks and Clark to get luxury tax profit.
    It’s getting close.

    I understand that but Andre Drummond also leads the league in rebounds and he is a horrible defender.
    All I’m saying is that we need a big that can defend and somewhat move his feet on switches.
    We have plenty of guards on the team and Kanter definitely does not fit what we do. He doesn’t shoot 3’s for a 4 man, he can’t defend and can’t switch. Would be a wasted roster spot, might as well just give the money to House.

    Those 3 new guards waste roster spots. Trade them again at midnight.
    Total is 15 spots, full now.

    Rockets defense is going to give GS problems. Watching Shumpert he reminds me of taller Patrick Beverley

    Great pick up IMO for a couple of scrubs rotting on the bench. His stats weren’t anything to brag about, but he was an integral part of the Cavs championship run.

    It's like you were not around when the Cavs and Warriors met in the finals multiple times.
