Breaking Wind: Cavs acquire Luol Deng

[Thunder]

Grant raped the Bulls.

 

[Jack Brickman]

So we gave up a pick we may never actually see (Sacramento), a lottery-protected swap with a team that may be worse than us next year, and a couple of second-rounders from a playoff team?

If Deng doesn't re-sign, this deal kind of sucks. If he does re-sign, great deal.

Either way, this might make us significantly watchable this year. Hell, not only watchable, but dangerous.

Wow, we now have an all-star small forward!

 

[melecoaze]

what are the odds of mike brown playing a lineup of jack-deng-gee-clark-varejao? guess he is licking his chops

Love the trade. We have several 2nd round picks and as good as Portland has been they'll probably be in the 50s..

I was beginning to think we'll never see the Sac pick anyway..

Swapping 1sts won't be that relevant since it's protected and we both have to make playoffs for it to occur..

This makes our team better now, with the possibility of being better in the future. Even if he doesn't re-sign, whatever. You accrue assets for a reason and eventually you have to roll the dice.

Pressure on Mike Brown now. Here is a quality SF. How is Deng's health? Now too late for physicals correct? Have to waive the physical portion due to time. Hope Bulls didn't just give us a broken player. Well, even then, he is better than Clark and Gee combined.

Lol.

 

[ice cream man]

Great trade. No significant picks given up except maybe the Sac pick.

 

[bbinla]

Is Simmons retarded (or, politically correct, a complete stupid ass)?

 

[johnny]

Deng is scoring 19ppg on 54%TS this season. Gonna be a breath of fresh air..

 

[Futuredome]

So Grant is going to showcase Kyrie and Dion to Deng, hoping that will convince him to sign..............

 

[KillaKyrie]

I like the trade. Just hope he resigns though. Would be pretty dumb if this was just a half season rental.

 

[sakurasian]

I love Grant the guy is best at getting so much for so little. Never want to give too much for a guy like deng who could be a one year rental makes us serious contenders for that 8th seed now.

Dude this deal is kickass. The only real pick that may end up being something is the 1st that we gave up but its lottery protected I mean cmon....we got PPG for 2 2nds and the SAC pick...I mean cmon man. If you don't like that you are trippin
