Clarkson to Utah for Exum and a couple of future 2nd round picks. Guess the stockpiling of picks begins.

2nd Rounders...only thing the Cavs wasn’t anymore apparently

Our army of 2nd rounders will surely pay amazing dividends

A package of second round picks was used to acquire Kevin Porter Jr who, to this point, looks like the Cavs’ most promising young player.

The Clarkson trade was the first in the NBA as a whole since July 11th. Cavs are clearly in rebuilding mode. Kevin Love may be the next to go.

Kevin Love was visibly showing his frustration on the court today. If he wasn't being paid so much, he would probably have been traded already.

So now Love is claiming he was just frustrated he didn't get the ball. Dude has become a diva without the talent to match.

In spite of having a rough season, believe it or not the Cavs at this point have more victories than the Warriors.

He should have been frustrated, that’s basketball 101. You have a mismatch in the post, audible off the current plan. It’s actually interesting to me that he cares enough to get frustrated there.

Throwing tantrums is never the right way to play basketball. It is a team game, you don't always get the ball. They were trying to bleed the clock at the end of the half, not trying to score as quickly as possible.

 

[DZ83CK]

Oh, and he isn't acting up because he genuinely wants the team to win above all else. He is just trying to be a malcontent to get traded.

 

[DZ83CK]

Love is sitting out today's game for "load management" - he is on a team that won't be making the playoffs, so load management is largely pointless unless he gets traded. Love has just given up on the Cavs franchise more or less.
