on a Cavs team depleted (they didn't play Exum, Garland, Porter, Thompson, or Drummond -- and had to get G-League dudes in) against a Celtics team missing a whole lot, but still had Tatum and shooters. They lost, but two bad possessions was the difference, rather than it being a blow out.

his scoring is fairly efficient. his passing is improving (impressing because aside from Love, the team's best shooters were out).

is he better than Kyrie? no
But is that trade a L? Emphatically, NO.
