Cleveland get's its PG - not Kemba

Looks like they tried to low ball us for Kemba and couldn't get it done - so they got the Lakers to bite instead:

CLE gets: Jordan Clarkson + Larry Nance Jr.
LAL gets: Isaiah Thomas + Channing Frye + 1st round pick (CLE)

 

Cleveland get's its PG and still holds onto Brooklyn pick. Good for them. LeBron still leaving....

Lol fug the Cavs still trying to get Kemba.  They have ONE asset that' even worth considering, and that would only be worth considering if they were looking to trade for Batum or Dwight...  Not Kemba.

Btw, I think the Cavs won that deal walking away.  Frye has to be close to retirement, that pick will be useless, and I hope he can, but idk if IT will ever be the same.  Both Clarkson and Nance can ball and are Lebron's preferred type of teammates...

When's the deadline,  4? I'd only accept a 2 team deal where we can dump the majority of money this off-season and get the nets pick.

Have to dump Batum's, and if I was them get rid of Frank to get Willy some time. Have to include Kemba. Not sure what they would send back now though. That first round pick would have to come with something else I guess. And I don't see it.

Thomas and Frye are expiring contracts, and moving Clarkson frees up more money. The Lakers just got themselves a lot of cap space.

Yeah I saw that, but I was just referring to tangible long-term production.

And with the way things have went for the Lakers the last few years, idk how much that cap spacwe will help if no one wants to come there, but we'll see.

    • I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do
    • No one had posted in a month.  I don't think any of us were watching
    • Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
