Well, he is going to Cleveland, folks.

There's some reason for sympathy that he's headed to a franchise that seems to have no direction whatsoever.

For a few months, anyhow.

 

I hear you but it isn't like he is stuck there.  He can sign with any team in the league in less than half a season.  Cry for someone who is locked in for years with a franchise they don't like.

Did it to himself with his demanding of his specific destiny (oh, should have said his demand of inflated millions). Not our problem thankfully.

What the hell!!!! Cavs are crazy what are they doing. I leave for 3 hours and come back to us signing Skal! My friend was texting me up the wazoo! Get to my phone with 27 texts..Hawks, Cavs, Warriors..Wiggins. I gotta process this!! I mean what are the Cavs doing. Wait, did Tristan go anywhere?

If Drummond wants to be with a contender he better set aside his intent to get a max.

Seems apparent that at this juncture the contender stuff is not his goal.

Agree.  I am pretty confident he will pick a big money deal.  I think he'll have enough options that he won't be stuck in Cleveland if he is willing to just take lots and lots of money and not every dime available (although it may be that someone like the Hornets outbids the Cavs).

[JayBirdHawk]

I can see the Hornets offering him a deal.

[Sothron]

I don't understand this trade at all for either team. Is Cleveland the only team desperate enough to give him a full max deal?

I feel either they will or Charlotte will do that or bid for him more than anyone else and he will take every last dime he can get.

Listening to Cav fans try to convince everyone themselves how good Drummn'd will be is plain hilarious.  Glad that's not us having to rationalize.

Wonder how they gonna feel next year when they are near the Eastern Conferance cellar paying the man 29 million for 20-21.  There is no way he is going to test the market. He may not prefer Cleveland but the money will anchor him.

I wouldn't count on that.  He will have the least competition for a big contract this offseason.  If he waits a year, he will be completely overshadowed by the available talent.

Drummond is the future D8. The mirror can be such an enemy.

Yep, same stages, then in the twilight of his career he can try to ride superstars to a title for the vet min.

I don't think he was mad he got traded, it was that he wasn't notified by any team personnel. That's not cool.

Capela said he heard directly from Morey that the trade happened.

That is Trump's world you know. Notified by Twitter or no one at all.

Have to save a positive response for the next time around. Very sensitive about my own sense of democracy.

On a much lighter note. Take a look at Danny Ainge's face trying to influence a ref as a player and Ted Cruz's ugly as F*** mug on any given day. The likeness in expressions are kinda weird you know.
