Nice move for both sides.

If only Anthony Bennett wasn't looking like the next Kwame Brown they'd be loaded.

At this point Kwame looks better, at least he showed occasional flashes. This dude just looks awful. The Cavs had the opportunity to put the best player in the draft by their already budding superstar and it looks like they not only blew it but completely shit the bed.

On a side note, crazy to think that the Cavs have had 3 number 1 picks in the last decade. Who else can say that?

damn, they coulda had mcw, oladipo or burke


kwame was at least a strong defensive presence

Kwame received a lot of hype coming out of high school (along with Tyson Chandler). Anthony Bennett getting picked at #1 was just confusing for most. Nobody guessed he'd be this horrible, but a LOT of people said wtf when he got picked. And yeah, Kwame shits on Bennett. Kwame stayed in the league for a very long time... bust or not, teams still wanted him because he was a defensive force. I do not believe Bennett is going that route.

Now in Cavs' defense, this was a weak draft anyways and it would've been hard to predict who would become the Rookie of the Year prior to the season (now it's easily Michael Carter-Williams). I suppose the safest bet at the time was Oladipo, but they already had an undersized SG who they were putting all their stock in with Dion Waiters. Which actually makes the rumors of them wanting to trade Dion Waiters even funnier.

Oh and by the way, Bynum just got waived by the Bulls before the deadline so they don't have to pay him his salary. Bulls basically just cleared themselves of Deng's capspace.

Such a shame how much they've all fallen off, both Bynum AND the Bulls.

bulls are going into rebuild mode by the looks, they apparently want to move hinrich and plan to amnesty boozer this offseason .. rose can't be happy with being part of a rebuild

the cavs just got a lot better with this trade, just need to find a new home for dion waiters and they're set or move him to the bench permanently. would be crazy if the cavs get pick 1-5 again this draft, they will be great next season if that happens.

My initial reaction was that Rose would now be in a clear position to demand a trade, but despite the amazing things he's done for this franchise, the man will have only played 10 out of 164 games by the end of this season.

So even though we all know Bulls want to hold onto Rose for as long as he breathes, I am also fairly confident that they don't give a damn what kind of moves Rose wants the organization to make at this moment. A guy who isn't playing will have no leverage with the team whatsoever.

I think waiters should start at the 2

Rose is an afterthought now.. Whatever they get from him will be extra.

Bennett is just a product of a miserable draft class for the most part. Bennett just fit the NBA body type out of a bunch of players all projected to be roughly the same thing. But MCW has something to say about that.

Damn shame for the Cavs though. You put Oladipo on that team & it's filthy.
