So long, David Griffin

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Dion was not happy not starting for the Cavs so Lebron moved him for another friend and a injury plagued player..........next David Blatt on the list........
 
Taking on smith and trading waiters with only getting shumpert is ridiculous in my mind
 
Man this guy is bleeding is of our talent. No size acquired in the trade. Terrible
 
Griffin made this team from a young talented core who could complete for 10+ years to a team that now has to win in the next 2-3 years. I really felt this team was built and fell into something special the moment they got the number one pick and got Wiggins. The young core insured we would compete for so long and could grow with LBJ playing the mentor to all of them, like David Robinson with the spurs. Now I see a closing window to win now just like the years before LBJ left and a extremely old team.
 
The Knicks will also get a second-round pick in 2019 from the Cavs.


The Cavs give up the best asset in the trade and STILL included a draft pick?

Hey Dan Gilbert, I always supported you, but please sell the team.

Nonsense. 10 year window. So we're going to become the Spurs organizationally from top to bottom, and go on a 10 year run?

Delusional. That was unrealistic.

Im not saying we would win championships for 10 years but we would compete and there wouldn't be any crap basketball like the last 3 years. We would of been in the playoffs for the next 10 years though with that young core, especially with LBJ until he retired. Wiggins would of grown and hopefully ended up replacing LBJ. The roster was made for a elite SF to come in. Look at LBJ now, you don't think the window is closing with him? Add to that making the roster older, kyrie and Love isn't going to win anything by themselves.
 
Great trade. Can't wait to see what we do next. Solid B+ grade.
 
Funny how much you guys flip flop.
At least you guys are consistent unlike JR Smith.

You might have jumped the gun. We got a 1st round pick!

Oh, like Waiters was the picture of consistency. We basically got Waiters with a jump shot and a 3/D guy for Waiters and two forwards who couldn't crack a rotation of two short power forwards.
 
We added size, length and athleticism on the wing, and we got a first round pick. What's not to like?

Alot of that "length and athleticism" doesn't equate to much when one is physically declining and the other is airhead. The key is what center they can bring in. If they fail there, should have just kept Waiters despite the differences.

I actually don't mind the trade. My comment was more or less about those bashing the trade then praising it.
The JR Smith part was just a failed attempt at a joke.
