I sink that the injury thing was a gambit by cleveland and it's basically failed. It's just made this thing messier and stupider than it should have been. They wouldn't get IT, Crowder, and a 20ish percent chance of a first pick if IT wasn't somewhat damaged

But if the Nets are 5th overall and the Cavs somehow win the lottery, everyone will owe Zogo an apology

IT is pretty short. I'm assuming really short people don't have actual hips and this thing is overblown.

It's really hard when tiny guys lose any of their explosiveness, without that huge popcorn pop, they can't get open jumpers or finish. See Nate Robinson. Thankfully the Cavs have Kay Felder in the d-league and can steal his pelvis under some type of Turkish black market deal

He's my height and we 5'9 people have hips. In fact our hips are very good.

Cleveland just got a hell of a return in a situation most people said they had no leverage, then got an extra second for literally nothing. This was a giant success for Cleveland all around, short-term risk when they needed to take a short-term risk and a huge long-term reward.

We criticize teams all the time for throwing away 2nd rounders on nothing, seems hypocritical not to give credit for getting one for nothing. No one will remember this by October, and since camps don't start for another month it doesn't really affect anything.

If IT is healthy is was the perfect trade for CLE. If he's not it is still good. The new GM is off to a good start.

The most hilarious part about that is that Hornacek has so little authority he has to use Hernangomez as an intermediary. Holy poo poo.
