re: Dion Waiters to OKC. JR Smith to 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
