cavs have to be back in the drivers seat to win the east again after these trades...they actually have functional guys on offense and their defense has to improve after jettisoning wade/IT...

kinda wonder whether they are better off going this route...hill/hood/Clarkson/nance/nets #1 has some very nice pieces, but very nice pieces don't win the way the NBA is nowadays...they probably were better off figuring how to get decent players on expirings at the deadline and then tanking to shit...this core is gonna win them 40ish games in the east with no shot in hell of ever beating GS/HOU/western power in the finals...
