Will Clarkson and Nance Jr. be more productive than IT and Frye have been for Cleveland?

The answer is likely a resounding "yes." This move was built to help the Cavs get out of the East and play with house money in the Finals - and it gets them closer to that goal.

It also helps the Cavs in the future if/when Bron leaves. Clearly you'd rather have Clarkson and Nance Jr. than IT & Frye when it comes to building a new identity in Cleveland.

Win for Lakers as well - they weren't doing shit w/ Clarkson and Nance Jr. and have a plethora of young talent (particularly swing players in the backcourt)- rendering Clarkson expendable. They also clear big space to land someone like PG.'

Dan Gilbert sucks though. He traded Kyrie for Clarkson and Nance Jr.
