Woj: Don to the Cavs for Markkanen, Agbaji, Sexton, three unprotected 1sts, two swaps, and a partridge in a pear tree.

He got put in his place alright.

I actually think this is a better place for DM because I think Cleveland is better than the Knicks.

anyone else remembers this?

Glad this is finally done, at least the major pieces. Conley, Bogey, Clarkson I expect all will be moving soon.

Transitioning from rooting for a team with high expectations, to a tanking team, actually feels like a relief. High expectations change everything. It will be nice to watch a Jazz game now and not be devestated about a loss.

But will you be devastated by wins?

Pretty clear that this is the Ainge response to the Rose power move. I actuality like the RJ + 2 protected and 3 protected picks better (assuming one of the unprotected picks was 2026 or later).

I don’t know. I think I’d rather have Sexton + Markannen + Agbaji + 3 unprotected 1sts + 2 pick swaps.

Those protected 1sts from the Knicks don’t really do much for me.

Fact of the matter is if the Knicks came with RJ + 3 unprotected 1sts then Donovan would be on his way to New York.

Eh, I think this is fake.

Knicks fans assured me that nobody was beating their offer.

I think the sticking point in the end was the 3 unprotected 1sts from the Knicks.

Agbaji is the underrated piece of the deal here. Think of the deal as having the #14 pick in this years draft included.

You assume that Don's motivations were that he just wants to win, yo.

If he wanted to go to the Knicks, then I intensely question that advertised motivation.

We watched him hunt for highlights as much as he played good fundamental basketball and as far as I'm concerned, he just as likely purposefully wrecked this team to get traded as played in earnest.

I don't think he wants to be in Cleveland (I sure as hell wouldn't), I think that kind of **** matters to him, and I'm happy he's probably frustrated right now.

For me the 2 knicks unprotected picks far outweighs the three from cleveland. Add in the 3 protected picks if the knicks were actually offering that then you have a better offer in my opinion. I think the cavs picks are almost guaranteed to be in the 22 to 30 range.

I'll be honest... I checked like 3 sources and hunted out that blue check mark when it happened.

 

[LogGrad98]

I'm just glad the trade is over and that we can move on with our lives. Finally.

Speak for yourself!

That's just bad-***. Look forward to having him.
