I disagree with him on this being any sort of win for the Cavs.

JR Smith is just an older version of Waiters. Their per 100 numbers are basically identical (Waiters assist #'s are actually better).

Shumpert is whatever. I think he is largely just propped up by playing in NY his entire career.

Yea, I disagree with Smith being an upgrade over Waiters. Pretty much the same player.

Curious to see how it works out for the Cavs.

They were in need of a shakeup. Wouldn't shock me if JR starts going off with Cleveland.

Cavs have been wanting to dump waiters for a while. They trade him for an older version of himself a good defensive SG. JR Smith is an upgrade because he has been good at coming off the bench and doesn't mind that roll and is a better scorer. Not saying it's a gigantic leap but JR smith is a slightly better player and might have a better attitude. The real winner is shumpert. Dude goes all out on D even when playing with on a shitty team tanking. He's something the cavs desperately need. The cavs get the same player coming off the bench and a new starter. They added depth and got rid of a guy who was seen as a cancer.

You may not think it's a win but it's definitely not a loss. If they pick up delambert as well then they basically just got rid of a guy they wanted to trade and got his more experienced clone and got better at SG and C
