I’ve seen multiple reports that his contract is immovable in today’s NBA, unless you take you take something back or find a team wanting to clear cap space the following offseason. They won’t get a 1st for him.

Wizards were able to trade Gilbert Arenas's massive contract back in the day. I think almost any contract is movable, but like you said it's the terms of the deal that would be killer.

Right. I guess what I mean is he we won’t be able to trade him to a team bidding for him and getting the lesser end. It will likely have to be a team where we take on a bunch back

Heard excerpts from Lebron's interview with Joe Vardon of The Athletic. After hearing bits & pieces of this, I'm of 100% belief that this team will not be a winner again until Dan Gilbert sells it. So terrible.

The more you hear about the Kyrie trade, the more it sounds like 'ol Dan panicked. That trade was a disaster from the very beginning.

Oh, definitely. Gilbert needs to quit the Jerry Jones shit and let the basketball guys do their thing. Still gets under my skin that he didn't resign David Griffin long-term.

Will be interesting to see how the crowd reacts to Lebron's return tomorrow. Guess they're doing some video tribute.

And regarding last night, this team's a friggin' abortion.

Exactly, he fucked up a very easy thing. Resign David Griffin, lol in Kyrie's face about the trade. EZ

Sad way to end his championship tenure here. He's been a bum on the since 2016 though.

I will always like JR, but I do think his departure brings the lulz by demanding a trade early in the season.  Did he really believe the Cavs wouldn't trade him if they had the opportunity?

JR is the man. You see him at browns games? Dude loves Cleveland. Just a bummer how his time ended, but I’ll always like him.

Yeah he looked good tonight going against the worst defender in the association (well historically worst. LBJ is giving him a run for his money this season, yikes) in James Harden. But hey, give props when due, Sexton played well on offense tonight.

This has been posted on various outlets but this was the one where I saw what the Cavs would give up in the trade....

https://heavy.com/sports/2018/11/markelle-fultz-kyle-korver-jr-smith-cavaliers-sixers-trade/

I don't think Fultz is going to turn into an NBA player.  He looks just like Anthony Bennet, but smaller and perhaps even worse.  With that being said, this trade may be worth it considering having Korver on the roster does nothing for a tanking team and JR isn't even playing.  Might as well kick the tires.

If all it takes is JR and korver, you absolutely do that trade. Let him figure out that shoulder and try to find his shot, which will allow the Cavs to continue to suck and keep their first rounders the next two years. Then maybe around then, Fultz finds something.

I think Fultz *could* still be a serviceable player, but will never live up to the #1 pick. Comparing him to Bennett is ridiculous though, he's already done more than AB ever did. I agree though on the trade, kick the tires. Got nothing to lose and a trade has to go the Cavs way some time.

I’d make the move but his shoulder thing is so weird. I’m not real convinced he’ll ever get over it. The Mackey Sasser of basketball

Just box score checking and I didn’t watch any. I see that Sexton was 5/19 and struggled but he and most of the starters were like +8 in +/- when on the court....bench was like -15 and of course Cavs lost by 8. Korver hit everything but also a -7.

I know +/- doesn’t tell a good story of the game but this one is all over the place. Coach always have in the wrong players in different rotations throughout the game.
