Griff made some really creative moves. What did you know about Griff before he took over? That he had 17 years of experience in various roles including VP of Ops. That's a little different than talking for ESPN. No?

I'm not sure where I was angry there. I said 17 years of experience is better than working for ESPN. And you realized you were done in the discussion & aborted.

I have no issues with Griff so i'm not going to talk shit about him, he did a great job. I don't know what you want from me. It's apparent that Griff wants out, so he's out. I find it hard to believe that Dan is being cheap, since he's NEVER been cheap about anything here in Cleveland.

Griff made some really creative moves. What did you know about Griff before he took over? He'd interviewed for several GM jobs already and had turned them down waiting for the right fit. He was a rising star in the front office world no doibt.

Kristaps Porzingis is on the block Nice player, but very much overrated because he's in NY. He's no Kevin Love.

No shit. We know what happens when LeBron leaves a team, we've seen it here before, and in Miami. Same thing that happened when Jordan left the Bulls and Kobe left the Lakers, you go to draft lottery Siberia for years.

Didn't Griffin trade most of those away? Just speculating. Not sure what picks are here and which are gone.

If LeBron bolts we'd start a fire sale, giving away every player on the roster for pennies on the dollar in exchange for draft assets. We didn't have any picks in 2010 the year he walked. We didn't have the Kyrie pick in 2011 until we trade Mo Williams for it.

Lakers have sent DeAngelo Russell and Mozgov to Brooklyn for Brook Lopez and a late first round pick. This doesn't make sense as a stand alone move. This gives them three first round picks this year, so maybe it's about putting together a package for Paul George. But the pick is so late you can often just buy one of those picks for straight cash. No need to give up on a 21 year old playmaker like Russell. What worries me is the inclusion of Mozgov. The move opens up cap room for 2018 free agency season. Which will certainly add fuel to the LeBron/Lakers rumors.

Good thing people like dizz believe in this asshole Gilbert.
In less than a week we went from going for a NBA title to:
1. Losing the GM who got us our only title
2. Lebron is pissed & bolting
3. Kyrie wants out too
4. George has no interest
5. Butler wanted to come here. Wade (Lebron's buddy) resigns. Butler says he doesn't want to come to Cleveland. (I wonder if Wade told him something)
Keep backing this guy. He is a dumpster fire who backed into Lebron& Kyrie.

Nice player, but very much overrated because he's in NY. He's no Kevin Love. He is 21, 7'3" a great shooter & defender. And Love is a great shooting and rebounding big. Also one of the best passing bigs in the NBA. Love is a significantly better rebounder and has a significantly higher PER, even in his third wheel role. Porzi being a "great" defender is a bit much. He is more of a rim defender but how helpful is that against the Warriors?
