    The Lakers now take on the expiring $6.3M contract of Isaiah Thomas and $7.4M expiring contract of Channing Frye. The Lakers now project to have $46.9M in room this summer. The cap space will increase to $69M if they do not bring back Julius Randle and stretch the $37M owed to Luol Deng over 5 years.

    That's the dumb part about this trade.

    They needed Kemba AND Jordan to at least have a shot at appeasing LeBron.

    Definitely LeGone.

    Man, IT went from browsing Brinks trucks to U-Haul tucks in a span of a couple months..

    IT was talking real reckless when he was with the Cavs though.. should have kept his mouth shut.

    I also like this for Cleveland. IT was doing nothing and if Lebron leaves well the rebuild has started with younger players already.

    LOL yep.

    They actually made it EASIER for the Lakers to get Lebron.

    Lebron needs to leave Cleveland, they have no idea what they are doing.

    Bungled the Kyrie Irving situation and now this.

    This is hilarious because IT was just saying he's tired of being traded. Well don't get too settled in LA, young man.

    My guess is that LA may go after PG13 with this move.

    Incredible how quickly some players fall of a cliff. He's been a net-negative all season, reminds me of our Ty Lawson acquisition

    Either way, hope Clarkson and Nance perform in the Playoffs. If they make it.
