BREAKING: the cavaliers, per league source, have traded LeBron James to the Bulls for Jimmy Butler,
― nomar, Monday, 19 June 2017 21:05 (nine years ago)
ah ok that makes sense actually
― lag∞n, Monday, 19 June 2017 21:07 (nine years ago)

― lag∞n, Monday, 19 June 2017 21:09 (nine years ago)
hmm that person is a point guard
― ciderpress, Monday, 19 June 2017 21:12 (nine years ago)
celtics get kyrie and love bulls get all the celtics draft picks cavs get isaiah and butler
― lag∞n, Monday, 19 June 2017 21:13 (nine years ago)

― lag∞n, Monday, 19 June 2017 21:15 (nine years ago)

eh fuck dan gilbert
seemed like the writing was on the wall there
― J0rdan S., Monday, 19 June 2017 23:23 (nine years ago)
yea. sucks, griffin was a good gm imo
― marcos, Monday, 19 June 2017 23:28 (nine years ago)
griffin is interesting. find it hard to completely evaluate his abilities given that lebron fell in his lap. being the GM of a lebron team is a specifically unique job in a lot of ways... for instance we have basically zero idea if griffin can draft and develop young talent.
his trade history is not bad. the mozgov trade didn't kill them, and he bet on JR when his value was in the toilet, which was obv a bet that paid off big. otoh, giving shumper that contract doesn't look pretty, and he got strongarmed in the tristan thompson negotiations (but again maybe that was a specific lebron thing). channing frye was a p good trade too.
ultimately he seems like a decent to pretty good GM who will get treated like one of the best in the NBA cuz lebron turned in some of the most superhuman performances of all time to win them a title.

No 2 ways about it: Dan Gilbert screwed over David Griffin. Could have let him go to ATL, ORL, or MIL if he wouldn't pay him. Now too late.— Nate Duncan (@NateDuncanNBA) June 19, 2017

no 2 ways about it, dan gilbert is a dick
― marcos, Monday, 19 June 2017 23:45 (nine years ago)

Per source familiar w/ breakdown, Griffin removed himself from consideration when it became clear his vision for CLE didn't match Gilbert's— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) June 19, 2017

FYI: Several teams have spoken to #Cavs about Kyrie Irving. Griffin was unwilling to move Kyrie. It's unclear where owner Dan Gilbert stands— Sam Amico (@AmicoHoops) June 20, 2017

kyrie is on a very good contract otoh i don't see why he should be untradeable
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 20 June 2017 02:17 (nine years ago)
not untradable but hard to imagine a realistic return that fits the cavs better. idk maybe i haven't thought long enough about kyrie trades.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 20 June 2017 02:36 (nine years ago)
what if you're trading him for jimmy butler
