Summary

I go over the NBA Trade Deadline results as the Cavs came across as big winners and other teams not so much. I chat with Celtics diehard Jimmy about the state of the team and where the Isiah Thomas story went off the rails as his season becomes even more of a sideshow going out west to the Lakers.

Trade deadline so I'm gonna get right down to it a very active NBA Trade

1:00.6

deadline day as we saw massive moves come from the Cleveland Cavaliers who

1:06.5

shipped out basically the entire starting roster outside of LeBron. So the Cleveland chips out six players, including Duane Wade, and they get back a hall of

1:19.1

players in terms of guys who can help them.

1:24.3

Now, the initial headlines, because I was still at work with when these came in,

1:29.5

the initial headlines seem to be that the calves were just blowing up the team and rebuilding, you know,

1:39.5

from the outset that's what it kind of looked like because I saw that the calves gave up a

1:44.0

first-round pick but I didn't realize that it was the calves own first-round

1:48.9

pick not the Brooklyn Nets first- round pick that they said under no circumstances would they actually trade to LeBron in terms of the stories that came out the other day were LeBron and

he, that's a courage under fire there because he was under the gun and made some moves

2:36.4

so uh just to recap the main move that uh... was made was made you've got Isaiah Thomas being moved out from Cleveland to

2:50.0

LA along with the calves first round, which is going to be significantly lower down in the pecking order than the actual Brooklyn pick.
