Well, when your takes have grown to the point where they have you saying that every single player in the league other than Cleveland's big 3 is trash, no point in picking up some other trash to supplement (or replace) the trash you already have as support pieces.

Fat Windy:

Cavs are making a separate deal with Blazers. They will trade their 2017 1st to get their 2018 first back, sources said.

Love the Korver trade. Not so much a fan of getting Rondo. But who knows?

I have always hated rondo. He seems to be a fucking cancer, but if he is willing to be a back up PG to distribute to the weapons I think I can be down with it.

Re: Rondo cancer

If there is anybody that can handle a player like this, it is Lebron. (see: JR Smith).

That's true. If he's cool with simply passing the ball, he'll work out.
