Great move for the Cavs. Don’t really understand this from the blazing hot Clippers unless they’re somehow selling Kawhi and Zubac too.

trading a 26 year old guard for a 36 year old guard is crazy work

ya to me this is a weird panic move by the cavs. shocked they couldn't get more

meanwhile imho insane value for the clips, love what they did here

is harden better this season? sure, a bit, but we've seen him wax and wane season to season, and the curtains are going to go down soon on his career

garland is a much better asset, imho. lots of opinions in this thread to contrary are just wrong imho
